plants

I've been reading about the benefits of gardening and getting your hands in soil and how it can help depression, anxiety....you name it!

I haven't had the courage to make a garden yet but we repotted some of our indoor plants today. My 10 year old said it really calmed her down and helped her anxiety.

Even a few indoor plants can be a huge help and coping skill- having something or someone to take care of can really motivate you to get out of bed and get moving!

Is this something you already do or something your be willing to try? Let me know in the comments!

A new trend: Amaryllis flower, the bulp is covered with wax. No watering needed, nothing else to do but enjoy. No stinky water, nothing to clean, no soil. A great way to enjoy such gorgeous flowers and a good solution for anyone not having any knowledge of plants or people always struggling to take care of them. My new favorite for bad days ☺️ #Depression #uplifting #Plants #Spoonie

Nothing can beat this moment! When a
seedling finally breaks trough!

(I even prefer seeds to a bunch of flowers 😆)

What about you? Does a new seedling showing up also make your day? … and has the power to turn a bad day into a brighter one? Maybe even is a reason to get up in the morning only to check for?

I found this little gorgeous flowers today on my way (I also like the strong contrast between the red parts of it leaves and the deep green colour). ☺️

Did you know: Blue is a really rare colour in nature. Sure, there is the sky and water seems to be blue due to reflections, but plants and also animals are rare. Which plant comes into your mind thinking of the colour blue?

Kudo to the one knowing the name of the plant pictured above 😉 I couldn't figure it out yet. #Nature #Plants

I've been learning about plants and how to develop a green thumb with my mother's help (even at 41 I'm still a proud mother's boy) of course. Living on my own I find it very peaceful having several plants around my place and now I added one outside that'll last all year round. It brings me peace and solace. It's joyful to look at and gives me something else to be responsible for. When I moved back out of my mother's again several people in my life closest to me worried about me living on my own due to my mental health and my drug/alcohol recovery which can be rocky at times. This is just one of the many things that helps me and puts a smile on my face.
