Save the plant!

I'm going to have to say saving a plant. I happen to be very good at resurrecting dead plants 🖤🤘🏻

Save a sad plant. Planting seeds is easy, the hard part is remembering to water them afterwards 😂

1mo

I’ve only been able to plant seeds lately. I have yet to succeed in saving a sad plant. So I feel like saving a plant would be more satisfying.

1mo

Save the little wobbly plant, for sure!! 🌱

1mo

Saving a sad plant because that plant was a seed once & someone got satisfied from planting it so there's more on the line. That plant could give more seeds, save the plant. Both are satisfying & important opportunities.

Both. They are one the coexistence of the other 🤣

It depends on each person. What is satisfying for one may not be for another. In my case, I like more... seeing how it recovers, what someone else gave up for lost.

I find both equally satisfying: It brings me joy to grow a plant from a seed and then to accompany its development. But I am just as pleased when I can nurse a neglected plant back to health and it positively develops again through good care. Both make me happy. Definitely much more than buying a new, ready-made plant... (edited)

Planting the seed and watching it grow day by day is very rewarding!

Planting 100%. Saving a sad plant is counter productive as you couldve planted 100 more plants of that 1 and theres no guarantee it will survive the saving

1mo

Saving the plant. Though successfully growing seeds has its own satisfaction.

1mo

Take a strong adult plant and plant it in a good place so that it brings joy. Let those who are paid for it deal with sowing and rescuing.

The dichotomy through "or" is sad; we need Aristotle's golden mean, to plant the seeds and while they grow, to save the sad plant 🙂

1mo

Both.

Saving a sad plant. It's already proven it wants to grow. So, why not rehabilitate it back to health. Seeds can be hit or miss on whether they want to germinate.

1mo

Plant several seeds and the joy when the first ones come out of the ground 😁

1mo

Saving a plant, even more if it’s a friend’s plant

1mo

Save the plant, for sure! I have several garbage plants that I rescued and brought back to life 👍🏾👍🏾

Save the plant 🌱

1mo

If the plant has the higher chances of survival then save it. You can sow seeds anytime.

1mo

Saving. Propagating after.

1mo

Well, I don't even know, everything is so delicious. Why not both?

1mo

Save the plants first...! 💗

1mo

Plant-free!☝🏼😁 although it's also exciting when the seedlings pop up…😛 I usually grow the seeds of more special southern fruits available in stores, I love it🙃

1mo

I think planting a seed involves all the variables that come with it. From choosing the seed, to it sprouting, growing, and finally producing flowers or fruits. Especially if it's your first time. Whereas saving a plant only depends on whether you manage to get it to recover or not. I think it's only half the journey if we compare...
