by Del — plant keeping, documented

The Rooted Edit.
Not advice. Just what happened.

I'm not a botanist. I'm someone who keeps buying plants, killing some of them, figuring out the rest, and writing it all down. This is that documentation — honest notes from a Queensland home full of houseplants and questionable repotting decisions.

What lives here

01

Journal

The plant blog. What I'm growing, what died, what I figured out — written like a voice note, not a tutorial.

02

Dictionary

Quick-fact profiles for every plant I've grown or researched. Scientific name, family, care, my honest notes.

03

Equipment

Pots, soil, tools, grow lights, moisture meters. What's worth buying, what isn't — written from Brisbane.

04

Resources

Free printables — watering cheat sheets, plant logs, and beginner shopping lists.

Who writes this?

Del. Based in Queensland. Not a professional, not a botanist, not here to sell you anything. Just someone who got obsessed with houseplants and started writing it down so they'd stop making the same mistakes twice. The Rooted Edit is the plant side of that — if you want the rest of my life, that's at The Honest Version.

New post? You'll hear about it.

No schedule, no filler. Just when there's something worth reading — a new plant entry, a mistake I made, something that actually worked.
