A lady at the Denver Botanic Gardens told me she only buys plants with 'good energy' and it made me rethink my whole approach.

What even is good energy for a plant? Is it the shape of the leaves or just a feeling you get? I wonder if we're all just picking the ones that look happy to us without realizing it. Maybe my whole cart at the garden center is just a bunch of good vibes I didn't know I was choosing.

My friend Sarah bought a fiddle leaf fig because it looked "calm" to her. She killed it in three months. The replacement was a weird, lopsided one the store was about to toss. That thing is still alive five years later, thriving on her neglect. She picked the sad plant on a gut feeling, and it was the right call. Makes you wonder how much we're really sensing.
