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
