if the effort is mutual, love can last a lifetime

you can also grow them in pots, it's easier

I should pour water on my girlfriend?

He's a monster(a)

It is not an issue of effort, it is an issue of not seeing how bad the state is, either by them acting or by yourself being overwhelmed by life.

So

1. clearly show communicate the current state
2. actively demand water

Shit he's gonna get root rot. Stupid ass Monsteras are way too fragile

I too water my parasitic rose girlfriend, and she waters my parsitic fern self in return.
