#17: It’s Magic
As much as I’d like to say it’s a magical ability they’ve mastered, the truth is there are so many short-form videos with this information that they absorb it pretty much becomes second nature for them to take care of plants. Plants are also the new aesthetic, and tons of devices and apps will remind you to water them.
I’m 35 and still can’t keep a houseplant alive. Of course, I’ve kept four kids and four dogs alive for a while now, so it’s not as if I’m irresponsible. My brain just doesn’t remember the fact that plants need care. If it’s not right in front of me demanding things, I will not have head space for it.
