We kidnapped these plants from their homes and keep them prisoner inside some weird unmoist place where the sun is missing. Wat u expect

I got a spider plant at a school fundraiser when I was in first grade. It lived until I moved out of my parents' house at 18. My mom said she'd take care of it. She threw it out one day. I was sad.
49Who throws out a plant
21Especially one their kid took care of for that long, that’s just fucked up.

It's not dead. You can crawl around on a single live wire as much as you want with proper grounding when getting to it. As in, you don't touch the live and ground wire at the same time.
Slip, and your foot touches the other wire though? Yeah, you cooked or in for a drop.
27Lol. I was impressed to see a seedling growing out of a rock just an hour ago... you win.
17Jokes on you, I keep dandelions as houseplants
15How?
15It appears to be some sort of bromeliad. Many bromeliad species don't really have roots, but instead grow on top of rocks or other plants like trees. They get their water and nutrients from the atmosphere directly rather than from their roots. Some species even have leaf shapes that make like a bucket in the center to capture water to use. Anyways, they're cool plants. And some have absolutely beautiful flowers.
62I was 1000% expecting to get rick rolled or helled in a cell, thanks for the interesting facts!

Life uh....finds a way

I've had plenty of houseplants that are basically immortal.
14The trick is to have a living soil. Without bacteria, mycelium, wild yeasts, and other microbes, you may as well be planting plants in moon dust.

While aeroponics are cool and interesting as hell, I'm pretty sure this is a bromeliad which are adapted to living on tree branches. They collect and hold water using funnel style leaves, not through aeroponics style root mist.
18Bromeliads are awesome. The whole concept of epiphytes (which many bromeliads are) is cool. They require other plants to survive, but they generally aren't parasitic.

Wtf?
10Rainwater typically had less chlorine and fluoride
9If this is a legitimate concern, my grandmother used to tell me to boil the water and then let it cool down, this will remove the chlorine.
I'm always done it I'm not sure if it actually helps plants much. She also said to always use room temp water

Fuck i need to water my snake plant
8This is survivor bias in action.
6Some textbook: Marijuana is a hearty plant that will grow anywhere and spread profusely, from where it gets the name "weed"
14yo me failing to grow pot in a clearing in the woods: fuckin liars
4Houseplants: "man I really don't vibe with this dirt"
*dies*
Wildplants: "what dirt?"4
