🌿😭 GOODBYE PLANTITO LIFESTYLE! | Saying Farewell to My Indoor Jungle 🌱💔

Today’s blog hits differently. It’s emotional, reflective, and bittersweet—as I officially bid goodbye to my beloved Plantito lifestyle, at least for now. For the past few years, especially during lockdown, tending to my indoor jungle brought me peace, purpose, and joy. But now, the time has come to part ways with that chapter of my life.

🌱 It All Started With Lockdown…

Back when the world paused and we were all forced to stay home, I found comfort in green. Like many of you, I turned to plants—watching them grow became a symbol of hope during uncertain times. I transformed my 13sqm condo unit into a mini jungle, collecting ornamental greens left and right. From snake plants to pothos, every leaf had a place.

But of course, plantdemic happened. Indoor plants became a trend and, along with the hype, came sky-high prices. I spent a lot—too much, honestly—on pots, ceramic vases, rare cuttings, and trendy foliage. And I’m not going to lie, it was addictive.

🐶 Then Came Escobar...

Life changed again when I welcomed Escobar, my sweet American Bully and emotional support dog. As I shifted focus to pet parenting, the plants slowly became an afterthought. Taking care of both a jungle and a gentle giant in such a small space? Not easy.

🪴 The Harsh Truth About Condo Planting

Let’s be real—plants need air, sunlight, and breathing space. My tiny unit wasn’t ideal. The struggle to keep my green babies alive became exhausting. Some plants dried out, some got infested, and others just didn’t survive. It hurt seeing them wither, knowing I couldn’t give them the environment they deserved.

💔 The Letting Go

So in this vlog, I show you how I finally let go.

Yes, I’m de-planting my life.

I’ve started disposing of my ceramic vases and decorative pots—some of which I’m selling to recover even a small return on investment. Others I’ll give away. It’s not about the money, though. It’s about closure and making peace with the decision.

Because despite everything, I don’t regret a thing.

Those plantito days gave me peace during the darkest moments of the pandemic. They taught me patience, nurturance, and the beauty of slow living. And for that, I’m grateful.

🛑 This Is Not the End

I may be saying goodbye for now, but not forever. Who knows? One day, I might start again with low-maintenance or small-space-friendly greens. Maybe even herbs I can use for cooking! 🌿
