#biting the air the universe doesn't want me to have a smokebush

[leafie-draws]

welp.. the smokebush I got came infected with mold so I'm getting a replacement sent x.x; I'm feeling a bit apprehensive about it now, I'm still learning about plant infections and diseases and how to look for them and ornamental shrubs have a bunch! I'm glad I noticed it before it could spread to my other plants though.. that's definitely a downside to having so many plants together but thankfully my plants are pretty tough and resistant to most things. crossing my fingers that the new one arrives healthy but I'm going to quarantine it for a while just in case. I'm kinda worried though because we're supposed to have a cold snap in a few weeks and that'll mess it up if it's roots aren't stable by then hhhh.. I love fall but I'm not ready yet ;A; *whiiiines*
