For Mother's Day I bought myself a vine plant to take care of- hoping that one day it would cover my whole living room like it does at my grandma's house. I have great memories in my grandma's living room.. pretending I was in a secret garden. I want that for my children.
I should have known better. I don't know how to take care of plants.
When Paul and I first got married our next door neighbor gave me a huge plant that was so beautiful. I took care of it the best I could. It was on the verge of dying when we moved across country, and by the time we reached our destination it was toast.
But I love plants!!
Why is it that some of us do not have green thumbs? I think I deserve one since I love plants.
Is it because I don't talk to my plants? They're not getting enough "air vibrations"?
If I kill plants what the heck am I doing trying to grow a baby?!
I can NOT keep a plant alive. I kill everything too. Both my parents have green thumbs and can grow anything. But a day with me and it's a done for. So don't feel bad.
ReplyDeleteMy thumb is BROWN! The only plant I can't kill, is the one that I actually TRIED to kill...a philadendron (I think that is how you spell it)...it just kept growing and growing and well...you get the picture...but the ones I want to live...their leaves curl up and they die. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteI love flowers, and plants too....but have a black thumb. I'm glad I married Levi who's thumb leans more to the green. lol
ReplyDeleteHi Gracie. I don't think of myself as having a green thumb but I do have 6 houseplants that are doing good. I have found many people give their plants too much water and it is vital that they get some daylight. I have mine sitting on a plant stand by a window. They let me know when they want a drink of water, I just look at their leaves, if they are droopy or starting to curl up it is time for a drink. I think you'll get the hang of it, if I can do it I know you can do it.

Thanks Aunt Marcy. I am definitely going to try and just be more observant about whether they need a drink or not. We'll see how it goes!
