Came here to say this. Cactus has watched many a plant wither without even flinching: the very image of stoicism.

They do if they are unfortunate enough to be owned by someone with a talent for being able to kill anything :(

Cactus often die from root rot due to over watering.

Source: four different succulents

I had to get a pot full of holes to prevent myself from over watering an aloe

[–] KernelTale@programming.dev 1 points 2 days ago

Can confirm. I had to stop watering my cactus because of mom and it still managed to rot.

That cactus isn't worried.

Is anyone else as dumb as I am, and thought they were playing spin the bottle with a stick, and now those two plants have to kiss, but the one plant would rather go on vacation right now, completely unplanned, than be forced to kiss THAT plant???

I was confused. But then I saw the light. The flashlight. And then I got it.

I'm sad they didn't commit to illustrating the underlighting on the one with the flashlight, but I understand why lol

They're houseplants, and they're telling each other horror stories around an (unlit?) campfire.

[–] Vincent 7 points 2 days ago

The horror story being that their owners left for vacation without telling anyone to water their plants.

Junk drawer up top confused me, but once you ignore that it makes more sense.

"Are You A Plant of the Dark?"

If this were a print, I would buy it and hang it in my boss's office. And probably my own plant room.

The sticks in the fireplace look like dick and balls.
