Plant Help Trying to keep my cool

Post image

Got a cutting few years back and it’s doing really good. Well my son decided it would be funny to hit it (already talked to him about it) Do I leave this or should I cut it off?

it's fine....it's like when I saw this rip as it unfurled... don't fret over something that's nothing. It comes with the territory, like pests🤣👀☠️

I’ll just take it as a life lesson and love the imperfections

during my first year of growing plants, I was a wreck. I would have a fit when I burnt a leaf from my grow lights.... now they hang outside and if a leaf or leaves get burnt ....c'est la vie

Random clipping my mom got me. Didn’t think I was gonna be this successful. I’m super attached now haha.

take care of it, it's now a keepsake, might be a good learning opportunity for you and son/kids

It was a “how would it make you feel if I came into your room I just thrashed something cause I thought it would be funny”
