Back in the day of my elem days, my Auntie whom I call “mama” loves to plant variety of plants. I do not know anything about it, however I love playing with her plants, specially the spikey ones. She would shout at me for ruining her plants, but later on she’d give me snacks or meryenda. Those are the days that I will never forget.
This senior high, when the pandemic starts, I became fascinated about plants. To begin my new hobby I started small, I only have 3 pots of adeniums and 4 pots of cactuses. Sadly, my cactuses died, except adeniums that I still have until now. I became more engrossed than I ever expected and now I have 25+ pots! Who would imagine that, me? The young lady who only cares about her social media would fall in love with plants.
Some of my plants, got bought by my neighbors and friends online. I got so many plants that my mom complaints about it, a lot.
It’s good being a plantita, I care about nature and I learned how to care about plants. I may be not an expert in botany, but I am trying my best to be a good plantita.
I’m Carmela B. Santos and I am a certified plantita.
