  • My assumption is that the “do not rotate” advice inadvertently sent you to the actual, correct solution – more light! Congrats on figuring it out.

    In my experience, it’s incredibly common for people to overestimate how much light their indoor plants are receiving. People think a south facing window (in the northern hemisphere this is typically your brightest light, assuming no obstructions) is equivalent to full outdoor sun. Or they place the plants 6 feet / 2 meters away from the window and still think it’s full sun because it gets some direct rays of light during part of the day and it “scorched” when they tried moving it closer after it had adjusted to life in the shade for the past six months.



  • In all my adult life, I can only think of one friend of mine who would absolutely be down for going out and hunting for bugs. Fortunately, some of my friends have young kids, and young kids love to go bug hunting.

    Still wish I knew how to find more adults who would be enthusiastic about going on a bug hunting adventure rather than just being weirded out by it.
