1. Lift Your Compassion
Like your physical health, mental health is just as critical. Some individuals, even far into adulthood, have a problem with having empathy and compassion for others. It takes much patience to take care of plants. It also takes a lot of empathy to ensure that these plants get what they need to live and flourish, even though the plant cannot communicate with you. Besides, it will help to boost your compassion in general by caring for these plants.
It is a perfect way of showing children compassion. To live, they will realize that they must be gentle and give them what they need. It is also a lot less challenging to take care of a pet on your own than trusting a very young kid. Your kids would need a lot of help at first to take care of a plant. They will probably never remember how much water or fertilizer each plant needs. They will get much better at it over time, though, and you will find that gardening has become a family affair.
