• the grim reaper fears but one thing: euphorbia trigona

    i am quite confident i could go on a year long holiday where i completely forget about this plant, come home and see it looking slightly uncomfortable, proceed to drown it for a week straight, and it would just be aroused by the abuse and start flowering.

    It does not give a singular fuck about anything and will at most pause growing if it doesn’t have the resources needed, and it can grow from a single tiny piece into a whole-ass tree. if this species wasn’t a slow-growing cactus-like plant i would live my life in terror that it take over the earth.

    Fun fact if your indoor plants are dying but you’re following sunlight/watering guidelines for the species, your indoor air quality is most likely to blame. It also means it’s very unhealthy for humans to be in that space, but we’re just a little more tolerant to bad air.
