Botanical Homicide

It's official. I am a plant murderer. My last "air plant" (epiphyte) suffered its painful demise over the past week. I have one tropical plant that has been with me since college that has almost died so many times it must qualify as feline. I'm so thankful to that plant that I get deep anxiety every time I almost kill it. Seriously, what kind of human can't even keep an AIR PLANT alive?

Uh me...I can not keep plants a live for anything...don't feel bad.

I, too, have killed an air plant.

You are not alone.

I am not capable of raising plants at all ... I am mourning your loss.

Dude, I got a teeny tiny rosebush when Elizabeth was born. It is the cutest thing ever. And I think I have already killed it. Before even my cut flowers are all dead. I suck.

Yeah, but plants don't cry when they are hungry so they are really hard to look after.

I'm guilty of this too. I kill the "unkillable" plants my dad gives me all the time.
