Should I Bother?

Should You Bother Keeping Houseplants Alive With a Free Plant App?

Listen on

Episode notes

Not exactly a question of morality, is it. Because if it was a crime to murder a houseplant, wouldn’t most of us be locked up?

Also, does anyone really intend to “murder” it in the first place? More likely to be called “plantslaughter” than anything else (Note: You won’t find this is the Oxford Dictionary, but Urban dictionary has got it covered!)

All of that bollo*ks aside, what do you do if you want to stop the unnecessary killing of every houseplant you ever had the notion of purchasing?

You get a plant app of course!

Do you pay for it? NO. Not a fu*king chance. If you were that invested in plant care, you wouldn’t be killing them in the first place!

So the objective of this episode is: find the best free plant care app and see if it’s actually worth the bother of using.

We also have a bit of a chat about dendrophiles (people who want their houseplants to be more than just “friends”) and some of the weirdest apps on the App Store (need a way to remember every place you’ve ever taken a sh*t?)

Now, press play with that green thumb of yours and let us know what you think.

Liked this episode or have a suggestion for something we should bother doing? We’d love your review!
