He also watered it every day and drowned it.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes less is more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9791523.post-1126872109541804362005-09-16T08:01:00.000-04:002005-09-16T08:01:00.000-04:00My husband says I have a black thumb instead of a ...My husband says I have a black thumb instead of a green one. Kids and pets, I do great with. Plants--not so well. The only way they have a chance of surviving is if I transplant them outside and let God take care of them. Even then, I don't weed them nearly as often as they need to be, so the flower beds resemble jungles.<BR/><BR/>In Christ,<BR/>RebeccaRebMelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00058305177129722715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9791523.post-1126841547695883722005-09-15T23:32:00.000-04:002005-09-15T23:32:00.000-04:00I am a serial houseplant killer.

The only reason my latest gift (I don't purchase them for sacrifice, others do) is still alive is because I put it with my mom's houseplants before it realized it belonged to me.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I'm not really a serial houseplant killer. Maybe it's only that the thought of me inspires plant suicide. :-)Katie Hart - Pinterest Managerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892763965326103296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9791523.post-1126836143809195732005-09-15T22:02:00.000-04:002005-09-15T22:02:00.000-04:00I turned all 57 of my houseplants away from the la...I turned all 57 of my houseplants away from the laptop. I told them in a very soothing voice that it would be okay, "Mommy wouldn't let the bad lady near them." Before they turned away Libby, my pale pink orchid shrieked, "My cousin, she's killing my cousin." So if the plant police show up at your house....you're on your own!lolBonnie S.

I killed a jade plant once -- yes, that's right. A plant that seldom needs watering I guess does need to be watered at some point, but I didn't so it died. I have a cactus in my office that seems to be doing OK. I water it about once a month or so, if I remember. :) <BR/><BR/>But my children lived. Of course, plants don't cry...<BR/><BR/>Linda (another member of plant-killers anonymous)lindaruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08641353710444426267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9791523.post-1126814759618159792005-09-15T16:05:00.000-04:002005-09-15T16:05:00.000-04:00I recall a time when #2 did not eat.
