okay i appreciate you all but i just feel some things i say don't need to be immortalised in gifs i am so sorry
a plant-specific plant skit reaction, from my sister
i am not a plant person, but i live with a lot of plants because i live with my sister, who is a plant person and active hobbyist! she watched the plant skit and gave me a bunch of her opinions
for those who, like me, also aren’t plant people, her basic summary was this:
“(Phil) honestly did a *REALLY* good job caring for a plant collection as a non-hobbyist. Some of those are so fragile. Just a few dry bits of fern to pull off is frankly impressive.” she full on said “phil did a good job.” yay phil!
the slightly longer version:
“My bet is that Dan left him a specific list of what to do and forgot the dracaenas, since the others show inconsistent or incorrect care, not neglect. And then Phil followed the instructions to the letter. Schedules don’t work long-term; you have to observe and change care. Meaning that someone who is eager to Do The Thing for their loving partner could totally leave some plants in distress…because they are Following Instructions but not a Plant Guy.”
back to me for a sec:
obviously this whole thing where dan despairs over his dead plants is a (very funny) bit but i, the non-plant person, find it extremely sweet that phil obviously tried! plant care is hard even if you like doing it!
