Today’s plant chat is about plant care variables, specifically how to determine if someone’s prescriptive advice is actual fact or if it’s based on insufficient information.
Unless advice is based on repeat instances of a plant’s behavior (like blooming, wilting, etc) with many plants of that particular species, all variables are accounted for, AND the result is repeatable (i.e. you can make any plant of that species do it again), informational is anecdotal and shouldn’t be treated as fact. Even my results! If they’re based on a sample size of 1 plant, EVEN IF I can show consistency in behavior, until I control variables and do this with many plants of the same species, this is not true science :)
