TIL I hit 500 houseplant species without noticing

I was organizing my plant journal last month and decided to count every variety I've owned. Turned out I hit 503 different houseplant species since I started collecting 4 years ago. It surprised me because I never thought of myself as that serious of a collector. Most of them came from trades with a local group here in Portland, not from buying. Has anyone else lost track of how many plants they've gone through?

Have you tried trading cuttings with folks on Facebook groups yet?

Trading with local groups" is the real key here lol. I wonder how many people are accidentally spreading pests between houses like that though. I got thrips from a trade once and it was a nightmare for months.
