At what point do you just give up?

At what point do you just give up?

Sometimes, it’s just not going to work out with a plant. For whatever reason. The only other plant I’ve given up on in the last year came to me with terrible root rot, (it wasn’t a plant I even wanted), and perished rather quickly.

This one is another that was given to me, and we just can’t seem to work well together no matter what adjustments I make (6 months of watching her struggle and making changes just to continue to watch the struggle). I’m over the time spent trying to make it work.

At what point do you say enough is enough, and move on from trying?

What do you usually do with the plant at that point (if it’s not dead dead)?

I got my new set and I like them so much better

I feel SO MUCH BETTER about how they look. They are so much smaller and take up way less space overall in my mouth. It’s so nice to feel like my mouth has room to do mouth stuff lol

I feel like they are much better suited to my face and I don’t look as aged as I did. I can actually rest and feel natural. I know I didn’t *need* a new set, and could have gotten another hard reline done, and just had those teeth for another 5 years, BUT I’m so happy that I was able to get this new set.

It took me about an hour and I was talking mostly normal. My S sounds are a little off (they have never been great my entire life though so I’m not super bothered). Eating last night was a little different, so that’s an area for adjustment with these. Otherwise I’m just excited.

Everything with dentures is a process. We don’t just get them one time and are done with the process unfortunately.

I have never had one of these flower. I got a small one as an office warming present. Other than bottom watering her, she’s just been sitting in that pot, in need of an up pot because she’s just roots with a pinch of soil left, forgotten about until the weekly watering…….. OR until I notice a flower. This is the 2nd one I’ve seen in the last couple weeks! Now I’m afraid to treat her better in case she won’t give me flowers lol
