Confusing Houseplant Care Terms We Should STOP Saying and Why | HouseplanTEA Ranty Ep. 2 | PlanTEA

Aloha! Join me as I go on another houseplanTEA ranty about confusing houseplant care terms, phrases, and advice that we should STOP saying and why. These are all things that have become so ingrained in the houseplant world that people use them without stopping to think if they actually make sense. This ends up causing confusion for plant parents, especially new plant parents, and can lead to them unintentionally doing detrimental things to their houseplants. PLEASE NOTE: These are my personal opinions on these topics and everyone is entitled to their own opinions.
