I wasn't interested in plants.

For nearly 30 years since I was born, I have never been interested in plants.
Now, he lives a life where he grows over 300 kinds of plants.

What sparked my interest in plants was gardening, which I started 10 years ago.
At first, I was satisfied with the gardening section of the home improvement store.
I often found that the varieties I wanted were not available, so I started going to specialty stores and became more and more addicted to plants.

I first became obsessed with succulents

Around 2012, the succulent boom hadn't yet arrived, but there were still stores that specialized in them.
In addition to succulents, these stores also sold euphorbias and cacti, which are not commonly seen.

I was confronted with a world of plants I had never known before, and I felt drawn in by their diverse charms.

I'm looking forward to watching it grow

I think there are as many different ways to enjoy flowers and plants planted in the garden and plants in the room.
I love growing things and sometimes I grow them from seeds.
The plants need to be repotted every two or three years to prevent root rot, but I love this.

At this time, you can look at the roots to gauge the growth rate or divide the plant.
It's the most fun time. Seeing the plants grow, getting bigger and more numerous is one of the joys for me.

The only problem I'm having these days is where to put them. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with the ever-increasing number of plants.
