John’s voice: GIVE IT TO ME GIVE IT TO ME GIVE IT TO ME JUST GIVE IT! DAAAAMN
Rose: Which plays audio whenever the plant is thirsty.
Jade’s voice: AAAAAAAAAAH!
Rose: It’s built around the ESP8266, which is connected to a moisture sensor and speaker inside a 3D-printed enclosure.
Rose: To make it interesting, I pestered all my friends and asked them to pretend to be dying plants.
tentacleTherapist: Pretend you’re a dying plant, who hasn’t been watered in 5-6 days. You finally see your human walk past, and you have 5-10 seconds to say something, scream, etc. The only thing is you can’t curse, or say something that will get me banned from Pesterchum.
Rose: Then I loaded all the audios onto the board. Each audio was then randomly played like this:
Dave’s voice: hey, bozo. water me, i’m thirsty.
Rose: Okay…

New growth on my variegated jade is looking lovely. I chopped its head off after I answered about Karlach the Kalanchoe and used it to help show how to prune and what would happen when you do. It only grew one new branch but that's okay with me!

Smol Baby is three years old!
He’s come a long way since he lived in a toothpaste cap.
Still very tiny, but very loved.
