Welcome

Hello horror nerds, plant parents, and my mom. Welcome to the Scaredy Plants blog where we discuss horror/sci-fi topics/events while reviving plants from the grave.

How did I get here? A la Talking Heads

The idea for this blog came to me as a merge of my favorite hobbies and experiences. On Monday I filmed myself rehabbing a calathea that was waterlogged and giving step by step instructions on how I was reviving it. Then on Wednesday I attended the pre-screen for "Blink Twice", which was an experience I detailed here. When my friend Marika started @spiceiwthpaprika dedicated to movie reviews I thought about how I could center my own brand. I've been a micro influencer on Instagram (lol) but I lack a focused brand. I've posted about traveling, my desert bathroom, local events, and movies, but none of them correlate together. Then on Friday something clicked in my noggin, what if I mixed my love of plants with my love of horror movies? And the seeds for Scaredy Plants was planted.

What is this?

I'm still working out the kinks for what this will look like but brain farting out my ideas it'll look something like this:
- This blog with informative plant articles, movie reviews, event recaps, and product recommendations.
- Short form video content of me rehabbing plants and talking about movies on TikTok, Reels, Pinterest, & YouTube shorts.
