The Chip Bag

My plants are doing fine, actually

Sketchbook spread (detailed description in next figure)

I am a certified serial killer. During the last two months, I killed a handful of plants and drove others to the precipice of death. I regret my actions immensely and will be issuing a Notes app apology in short order.

I used to be really invested in caring for tropical plants, but I've moved back to a drier area and generally don't have as much time anymore. I selectively bought some replacements that I wouldn't need to babysit as much. And the surviving plants appear to be salvageable, since 1. they haven't died yet and 2. they have new growth, which I would like to think is good...

Drawings of houseplants in pen and watercolor crayon. The crayon was used dry before being brushed with water, so there are dry, textured areas left on the page. Only the plants have been lined with ink so they stand out from their pots.

The first page has drawings of a Philodendron Brasil in a terracotta pot and two Haworthias in ceramic turtle pots. The philodendron is a bright green trailing plant with heart-shaped leaves. The leaves have lime green markings on them. The haworthias are small succulents with fleshy leaves that form rosettes. One is darker green, while the other lime green.

The second page has two drawings of the same Peperomia Metallica plant, one drawn in crayon and one drawn in brown ink. Written underneath the ink drawing: "Nice shape for drawing, but not for maintenance!" This plant has long magenta stems with dark olive-colored leaves.
