What one piece of advice do you wish you knew when you first started getting into the hobby?
Mine would be: Any spot in your house can have bright-indirect light as long as there is an electrical socket nearby. If you haven’t been blessed with a house full of south-facing windows, just make your own light with some grow lamps.
Actually LOOK at the plant occasionally- backs/bottoms of leaves and stems, because bugs are very small and easy to miss!

Seconding this. Sometimes I want to do SOMETHING with my plant friends, so I end up over-watering. But what I should really be doing is inspecting and dusting leaves.

In my house that’s called “plant gazing” and I do it all the time. Why have them if you’re not going to look at them??

Thanks for the name, I’m definitely gonna use it, although the habit itself when you have ADHD and a plant hyperfixation can be… detrimental 
I got distracted for about an hour with this “plant gazing” more times than I can count
@Vanya
Omg I spiraled for doing this myself today instead of studying for final exams… I didn’t realize this was a special flavor of adhd quirk 
@Vanya
Same here, i inadvertently spend hours “watering” my plants, but it’s because I get side-tracked, staring at them the whole time, looking for new little leaves or signs of changes… and just generally admiring them lol

We call it the walk of plants, it’s the best part of my day!
Overwatering means watering too often, NOT watering lots at one time.
