my calathea came back out of pure spite

I had accepted defeat, moved the pot to the kitchen, and was basically using it as a guilt sculpture. Then after a humid week and one pep talk that was mostly apologizing, it pushed out three clean new leaves. Meanwhile my supposedly easy pothos looks offended by life. Plants have comedy timing.

Kitchen humidity does more work than most grow lights in some apartments.

The easy plants always die when you get confident. Nature hates swagger.
