My friend in Portland showed me how to keep a fiddle leaf fig alive for over a year now.

Honestly, that plant is so overrated. It's just a trendy stick with leaves, and it dies if you look at it wrong. Not worth the stress lol.

A funeral for a stick? @the_kelly that is genuinely the most unhinged thing I've read all week, and I'm not even mad about it. But also, she moved it across the room and it died in three days? That's not a plant, that's a cryptic creature that feeds on anxiety. I had one of those trendy sticks once and I swear it gave me side-eye every time I walked past. They're like the divas of the houseplant world.

Trendy stick with leaves" is killing me. My friend had one. She named it. Talked to it. Whole thing. It got a single brown spot one Tuesday. She panicked, moved it across the room. Dead by Friday. We had a funeral. For a stick.
