The Crime Scene And The Perpetrator
He’s usually so good with my plants but I recently got a new (to me) plant stand and I think he was just extra curious. Honestly my fault for not doing a shake test on the stand bc I think it was kinda easy for him to tip over. I’m just glad he’s okay and that nothing fell on him and bonus that all of my plants made it out alive with minor injuries. I did lose my 3 favorite pots in the incident but lesson learned. I set the stand back up and put something underneath the base and it feels sooo much sturdier now. Hopefully I don’t regret just putting it right back up because I do really like this plant stand and was finally able to fit multiple plants in one of my best sunlight spots.

The initial fall went fairly smoothly, but when he sawed through the bits that were still attached to the trunk, it veered off and busted through the window. I'm just glad he's okay.
