Seeing my old aloe vera pup finally take root felt awesome

I've had this aloe vera for ages, and it never made pups until lately. Back when I first got into plants, I'd overwater everything and they'd die quick. Now with all the info online, I learned to let the soil dry out completely. Last month, I noticed a tiny pup growing, but it looked weak. I gave it some indirect light and left it alone. After a few weeks, it started putting out new roots on its own. It's crazy how much plant care has changed since the old days. Feels good to see something thrive from your own effort, you know?

That feeling when your effort pays off is why learning new things is so rewarding now.

Funny, I drowned a spider plant in my early plant days.

I mean, drowning a plant is just part of the learning process for so many things now.
