About Wake Up and Plant

Hi, Welcome to Wake Up and Plant! I’m Jennifer, the founder of Wake Up and Plant.

Have you ever wanted some greenery in your house but just knew that you wouldn’t be able to keep it alive? Or maybe you feel that you wouldn’t be able to keep up with its care and maintenance? I’ve been there! Twice! I accidentally killed my first two plants by not knowing how much watering is needed! I know. Rookie mistake.

I wanted to ensure that my plant was well watered, so I may have overdone it while thinking plants can never have too much water. Boy was I wrong! And the second time around, I was paranoid that I would overwater it, so I doubted myself each time I wanted to water it. And when I did water the plant, I tried really hard not to overdo it. Another rookie mistake! It ended up dying 3 weeks later.

Aloe Vera was the plant that influenced me to start my green thumb journey! My mom gave it to me as a gift and even gave me specific instructions on how to care for it.

It died 2 times before I got my AHA moment with plants and have been collecting them ever since.

So, I’m here to guide you out to have your favorite plants flourish in your place with my plant parenthood experience (mistakes and all)!

I have always been hooked on the breathtaking effects plants have in our surroundings but just assumed it was a lot of work, so I never bothered with it. But after my Aloe plant experience, I realized that caring for a plant is just as easy as it looks.

That, and my love for a plant’s beauty, led me to a comprehensive study regarding plant care. And here I am, passing on the knowledge to you, so you can create your little garden heaven and nurture your love for plants!

You too could learn how simple planting is and how it could change your life in the tiniest of ways.
