Re: Emotional connection to a single species

I think plants in general, I feel really connected when I put seeds to germinate, see the little leaves growing it is great.
I had a cyca that I took care since it was a seed, however I had to give it away because it was too big (after 4 years and a half). I left it in a botanical garden where I think it will be happy. I almost cried to leave it there, it was like I was going to abandon my dog or cat but I had to do it because the plant needs espace that I could not give any more. Of course I will go to visit it at least twice a year to see it grow. Thinking these plants live hundreds of years, it needs to learn to live without me
