  This game was created on the occupied,
  unceded territory and homeland of the
  Nacotchtank, whose descendants belong
  to the Piscataway peoples. The city that
  sits on this territory was originally,
  predominantly funded by the sale of
  enslaved people of African descent and
  built by them.

  peoples, respectfully partner with

  Acknowledgments
  
  If your houseplant dies, the resident haint has
  moved on. Accept the loss of companionship
  while celebrating their newfound peace.
  Remember the plant is only a husk left behind,
  but dispose of it carefully anyway, employing the
  below ritual. It’s polite.
  Just like the homes they live in, different ghosts
  need different care. Haints dwelling in
  houseplants that require more sunlight often
  enjoying learning new things, while low light
  dwellers largely prefer being privy to secrets.
  The more waterings they take, the more gossip
  they usually enjoy.
   
  As you water and clean your houseplant and new
  ghostly pal, talk to them. Let them know how your
  week is going. Always ask how they’re doing.
  They may not answer, but it’s polite
  You have a new houseplant. Maybe you
  brought it home from the hardware store.
  Maybe a friend gave it to you. Maybe
  someone left it by their trash and you knew it
  wasn’t finished yet. 
   
  How could you have possibly guessed that
  with your new plant came a friend - a gentle
  ghost eager to make connection as they dwell
  in your photosynthetic charge?
  2. Take some of the soil from the planter and
  sprinkle the soil over the plant.
   
  3. Sprinkle water over the plant and soil.
   
  4. Thank the haint for the time they spent with
  you, and share one memory you attach to them
  and their former home. Wish them well on their
  new journey.
  1. Remove the plant or
  remnants from the planter
  and place it in the container
  in which you will be
  transporting it.
