You can research this for yourself. I also posted the Cornell study which I believe has the same or similar figures. I think there are more studies or research about young adults estranging themselves from parents. It's not a small number. My OP was maybe not have high hopes for empathy, compassion🧵

complicate things that are not complicated. I even propagated a few baby leaves. I gave one away to a good friend during the winter. It started blooming even though it was a baby. Here are some new babies just planted in soil today. I and the plants, responding to what is. 🌱

an opinion about watering, soil light, etc. There is a northeast exposure here, so it's always indirect light. That seems fine. At a certain point I stopped reading and started paying attention to the plant itself. If it seemed dry, I watered it. It was a great life lesson. No need to 🧵

the last two blooms of the entire blooming season, which started last November. It seems to be at least two plants. When one side stopped blooming, the other side bloomed. When I first got it, I read everything on caring for Christmas Cactuses. It was very confusing. Everyone seemed to have a 🧵
