Module 6 · Putting it together — a plant you can keep alive

Recall + plans

32 / 33

Make it stick

Two quick things that do more for retention than re-reading ever will: turn the module into if-then plans, then pull the key facts back from memory.

Tie it to something you already do

Finish each line — an intention pinned to an existing habit is far more likely to happen than a vague resolution.

  • If I am buying my first plant, then I will choose a forgiving one that matches my audited light.
  • If my weekly walk day comes, then I will run the whole routine — look, check, water the dry ones, log.
  • If a plant is settled and pushing new growth, then I will leave it alone rather than fuss with it.
  • If I catch myself watering or moving a plant out of worry, then I will do the finger check first and probably do nothing.

Quick recall

Answer each from memory first — then flip.

  • Q1. Name three forgiving beginner plants.

  • Q2. Which of the six things do you set once, and which are weekly?

  • Q3. Why is the weekly walk called the keystone?

  • Q4. What is the clearest sign a plant is happy and you can relax?

  • Q5. How should you match your first plant to your home?
