Number one, I have killed many, many plants. Many more have lived, but I have been privy to murder most foul, so don't be too down on yourself. For years, my daughter would tease me about buying rosemary since once winter came, it would die on me.<br />One helpful tip- put your finger in the soil. If some sticks, DON'T water it. Wait. When you water, give the plant a good drink. If water comes out, into the saucer, be sure to toss the excess, but a good, to the bottom drink is best. No half measure. Let the water come to room temperature and this helps if there is chlorine in the water, which they do not like. Sun is important. Some plants need to be in a sunny location so respect that. Oh, and that dish garden? Mixing a jade plant with other succulents, not a good idea. Sometimes, things are sold that are bound to fail.<br />Take it from me, if you really want to grow plants, you will find the right one. Research on line and good luck. suzieQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04883115039145453043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110077978481953569.post-67711971695656675882015-02-23T13:55:33.784-08:002015-02-23T13:55:33.784-08:00You haven't killed everything you touch...your...You haven't killed everything you touch...your kids and husband are still living :-) I too am a plant killer.

They are fake and since they look really lifelike, I hope they last longer than the real ones I've managed to kill. I have three live house plants left. I've given some away rather than condemn them to certain death. Good luck with your survivors.DownTheLaneWithDaisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04593789755756173375noreply@blogger.com
