You Are Separated for a Reason

Watered Differently

What if your separation is not a setback… but a setup?

For a little more care. For a little more attention.

What happened was simple.

My snake plant had grown so well that it was literally coming out of the pot. It needed space. So I gently separated a few stems and planted them in another pot.

I placed the new pot in the kitchen balcony. The rest of the plants stayed in the living room balcony as always.

It has been a few months now... 🪴 🌱

Today while breaking a coconut in the kitchen for the curry…, I poured the coconut water into that pot (the one placed in the kitchen balcony) instead of drinking it. I’ve done this before too. But today one thought came to my mind...

While pouring, I smiled and said,
“See… you are getting special attention. Special water. The others are getting normal water. You are getting coconut water.”

And that’s when it hit me.
