A surprisingly useful lesson from the train station from the train station

I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 8 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.

I started this because my first week felt a little stuck, and propagation seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.

Context: I am not an expert, just someone trying to make Houseplants feel less intimidating. I wrote down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I would do differently next time.

I love this. It feels practical without pretending life is neat. The low-effort version is probably the keeper.
