Oops, I Grew a Little! 🌷

Corrections, updates, and how I fix my mistakes

I’m learning in public, which means I’ll sometimes get things wrong. 🙈 When that happens, I’d rather say so clearly than quietly sweep it under the soil. This page explains how I handle changes.

Last updated dates 📅

Every post shows a “Last updated” date near the top. If I change something that matters, the date changes too.

Two kinds of changes 🌗

🍃 Small edits
Typos, broken links, clearer wording, prettier photos. I fix these quietly and update the date.

🥀 Real corrections
If I got something wrong or learned something that changes my advice, I add a note at the top of the post saying what changed and when. Like this:

Correction, [Month Year]: I originally said to water every week. After losing a plant to root rot, I now check the soil first. The post below has been updated. 🪴

I leave the old information visible when it helps, so you can see how my thinking grew.

🌸 Follow-up updates
When I learn more about an experiment or a plant diary, I add dated updates at the bottom, like “Update, [Month Year]: still alive, two new leaves! 🎉” That way, a post tells the whole story, not just day one.

How I decide when to update ⏰

  • 🚨 Right away, if a mistake could harm a plant or mislead someone.
  • 🗓️ Within a few weeks, if I’ve learned something that changes my advice.
  • 🔄 Every [6 to 12 months], I look over my most popular care guides to make sure they still match what I know.

Spotted a mistake? 🔍
Please tell me! Send a note through the Contact page with the post link and what you noticed. I’ll look into it, and if you’re right, I’ll fix it and give you a shout-out if you’d like. 💐

The mistakes are part of the point 🥲
My Mistakes and Lessons category exists because losing a plant teaches me more than keeping one alive. I’d rather you hear it from me.
