You can't kill these, they said.

So I went ahead and decided to give these a shot since I've never bought a plant I didn't kill.

Of course, I was later told (after I watered it) not to water the leaves.
Um, wait, what?!

They're probably already dead.

Good thing I've always known I possess a brown thumb.

  4. I don't think it'll hurt it the ONE time you did it. Perhaps don't water the leaves again :D.

  6. That's like me! Although, for some reason, the stuff we planted outdoors last year thrived. I was SHOCKED!
    We have those creeping plants at home and all I do is add water. So far, they are doing OK. I just don't like the responsibility and often forget BUT I know plants are good for oxygenation in the house and blah blah blah so I keep them and keep trying :-). Now, I am trying to convince my hubby that we need a yellow lab. They are soooooo cute!!! He knows he'll end up being the one who takes care of it though so he is very hesitant.

  7. I had to laugh at this post… I've always said I have the ability to kill even artificial plants. And, the saddest part is, I'm not kidding.
    Fingers crossed your plants didn't mind a little water!

  8. Lol... I'm the same way. Usually I buy a poinsettia around Christmas and then toss it after New Year's. This is the first year that I've kept one and it's actually still alive. I think there's hope for our brown thumbs after all... :)

  9. I said the exact same thing last year when I purchased a small pot of varying succulents. No one told me they required certain soil and there is a certain way to water them. I knew not to water often, but mine pretty much died a quick death. I have come to the conclusion I can grow outside flowers but forget about indoor plants. I have one peace lily in my living room barely holding on...

  12. I bought a bunch of succulents around Christmastime and I have been religiously watering those leaves since then. Oops. However, they're still alive so maybe it's not as toxic as people claim!
