Leaf rot sucks. It smells weird, spreads fast, and usually means something went wrong below the surface. But it also taught me a lot.
Here’s what rot helped me realize:
Ignoring warning signs never works
You have to deal with the root, not just the symptoms
Sometimes, you have to cut things away to let something else thrive
I once lost half my pothos to root rot I didn’t notice in time. But the pieces I saved? They came back stronger. Now, they’re one of my healthiest plants.
It was a mess. But it became a reminder: growth sometimes starts with loss.
And healing doesn’t look pretty at first. But it’s still healing.
