Stanley the Mandrake says: "Hi. It’s me. Stanley. I look tough. I scream in legends. But drown me, and I will absolutely perish like a dramatic Victorian poet.” Here’s the thing. My roots like moist, not swimming lessons. When you overwater, the soil turns into a soggy mess, air disappears, and roots start gasping like, “Why is it wet again. We just talked about this.” Overwatering leads to: Root rot (which is exactly as gross as it sounds) Yellow, sulky leaves A plant that looks fine one day and collapses the next out of pure betrayal Stanley prefers: Water, then time to dry Soil that drains well You checking the dirt before pouring like you’re filling a bathtub So please. From Stanley. Don’t overwater. And yes — this goes for any herbs 🌿 Plants don’t hate water. They just hate being smothered. ~Lori
