I murder houseplants. Not intentionally, mind you, but the result is still the same…dead flowers, dead leaves, dead roots. I’m pretty sure I’ve even killed the dirt (if that’s possible).
Regardless, for some unintelligible reason, people keep gifting the little pots of green hope to me. I swear, sometimes I’m convinced I can hear their little floral voices begging for mercy and a swift end as their tiny veins dry out and the edges of their delicate fronds curl up, eventually crinkling, splintering, and fluttering down to settle on the ceramic base below.
Over time, I’ve learned to look away from this process, as it tends to bring me down. I only wish I could grant my victims a similar solace.

Christmas cactus nd aspedistras are virtually indestructible. As are spider plants and money plants…

I did have luck once with bamboo lasting a long time lol. This is somewhat exaggerated for comedic effect, but I certainly don’t have a green thumb!

I’m the same way! But I threw some bell pepper seeds in a pot of soil with a plant that had died, and it’s been OVER A YEAR and they have survived!

While having a green thumb may not be in your toolbox, your sense of humor about it is refreshing.
