Taking care of these plants and noticing those small growths become big growths that allow for more new small growths to happen has made me appreciate that they, like ourselves, like all things, require time. Plants change and grow on a scale of weeks, months, years. You don’t notice how alive they are in a glance, but when you notice that they move, and when you notice that they have grown, it’s a sudden thrill. Every plant is an explosion of life, except that to us, they burst forth in slow motion.
