Final Announcement
Hello everyone, Jack here. This might just be the final post of this blog in case anyone is still reading.
After 10 years of being in love with succulents, one day I just suddenly stopped being fond of them like I used to. I think I simply outgrew them. It feels weird but I guess it makes sense- all my hobbies never last forever.
I’ve since been focusing a lot on my creative work, as my illustration business has been growing steadily lately and I just don’t have the time and space for a lot of things in my life anymore at this stage. Work usually takes up 80% of my available time :’) If you want to support me, do check out my IG @Jacktus.my
Until then, ciaos.
Update: 24/9/2024 Cant believe it but some of my followers (from 10 years ago) still recognize me at my market! Regrettably though I usually have to tell them that I’m not such a big succulent hobbyist like I used to be anymore. BUT BUT BUT if you ever have some questions about your succulents, feel free to drop a DM. I may or may not answer them though.
I still think that succulents are the most beautiful plant group ever- and am now open to keeping some especially when I move to a new place sometime in the future. For now though, because I’m living with my family. space is a problem, and the accessibility to tend to my plant takes a huge role in whether I get to enjoy keeping them.
And yes, work has been hectic AF, and such is the adult life. I’m still keeping some whale fins, but most of the plants I had since a decade ago were unfortunately thrown away by my mother during her (literal) psychotic episode. I don’t think I can ever get over this, but maybe some day I hope I can grow back some plants that I truly love.
That’s all for now!
Update: 04/10/2025 Was at a plant bazaar and it’s safe to say that I still love succulents very much! I look forward to the day when I can finally have a space to myself to grow them. Wouldn’t want to rush into getting all of them though because I believe having too many plants to care of was the reason of my plant burnout.
Them haworthias and astrophytums still strike my heart in a unique way nothing ever does ;)
