Plant Bitch

welcome to my orbit.

plant mom. dog mom. actual mom. big boss at zip kit. certified chaos with a blog and no niche. no schedule. no apologies. just life, the plants, an aussie heeler with strong opinions about your shoelaces, and whatever needs to get out of my head.

chapter 01 — the human

hi, i'm kelsey.

former career waitress - attempted house keeper - turned whatever-this-is. cedar city, ut. she/her.

i'm kelsey. loudest plant mom in cedar city. dog mom, actual mom, big boss at zip zit. i process life by naming my personality traits and letting them argue on the internet.

some people journal. some people go to therapy. i made a raccoon named cache who stress-eats vintage M&Ms and rewrites the rules mid-crisis.

no niche. no schedule. no apologies. just the plants, the dog, the people I love and can't quite figure out, the job, the chaos, and whatever needs to get out of my head.

Big Bertha — fifteen-foot monstera
plant mom certified chaos 04 / 16 / 2026

i brought home a beast.

she was fifteen feet long, had no drainage, and survived anyway. i drove an hour with cody, wrestled her into chip, and now she's staging in the guest room until i get hooks up.

friday night plant salon.

dropped ryden at grandma's, detoured to a mystery home depot with powder in his harness, came home to a scraggly betsy, and spent my friday night listening to old hags argue about pigeons.

phillip, craig, and the great soil purge.

i was just doing my routine morning repot. then i found craig. one white wiggly intruder in phillip's soil, and suddenly it was war.

how i accidentally became director of sales.

i interviewed for admin assistant. i started in purchasing. now i run the place. the road in between involved hawaii, a surprise wife, a walmart reunion, and walking out over name cards.

i went to check for gnats.

all i wanted was a quick root check. what i got was an explosion, five secret plants, a two-foot vine of pure beauty, and gnat-infested soil that needed to be returned to nature immediately.

gym bro jr. has entered the building.

my gym goal is not health or fitness. it's so my daughter can one day look a man dead in the eyes and say "my mom can and will beat your ass on sight."

just a casual sunday. (it was not casual.)

dutch bros, home depot, a herding emergency, a rescued philodendron, and cody.

she was flat, yellow, shoved in the back of the home depot shelf. the cashier side-eyed me. cody believed in me. i brought her home anyway.

how it started.

my boss said spruce up the office. i said ugh. and then i said oh. tiddles saw this coming years ago.

nobody asked if kevin was okay.

i scheduled a mandatory wellness check-in. i brought tea. i made a printout. nobody came. i'm fine.

chapter 03 — the log

currently obsessed with

updated whenever i notice i've done the same thing four times in a row without realizing. the running log of my unexamined enthusiasms.

log entry · week 16
4 active obsessions
zero regrets
🌿

trailing plants.

all of them. pothos, string of pearls, tradescantia, heartleaf philodendron — if it hangs and drapes and grows in every direction with zero chill, i am obsessed with it. they're so cute. i can't explain it. i won't try.

powder's current villain arc.

untying shoes. specifically. not chewing them. not stealing them. just untying them. every single time. with surgical precision. he finds a tied shoe, makes eye contact, and gets to work. we don't know why. we have accepted it.

what's in my ears.

everywhere all at once. 2000s girly pop one minute, current girly pop the next, then suddenly old school rap. there is no pattern. there is no playlist. there is only the vibe of the moment and i follow it completely.

on the dinner rotation.

salmon & tilapia. repeatedly. i have made some version of salmon or tilapia for dinner more times than i can count lately and i am not even a little sorry about it. it's good. it's easy. powder stares at me the entire time i cook it. worth it.

small-batch propagations and babies from my own jungle. shipped with care instructions in my voice, obviously. while supplies last — and by "supplies" i mean "whatever i can bear to part with this week."
