Look, just because I understand how #plants interact with their #environment and one another, doesn’t mean I can keep them alive in a pot. Plants belong #outdoors! #botany #houseplants #fail
@Hellybootwader bookmarked for future reference. I also killed the middle cactus 🌵 in this pot. But the outer two are ok? Any ideas how I managed that? I do try to nurture them 😢 - I seem cursed though.
@girls_can might be the middle one was more prone to rot, or the roots were not so established.
Get rid of the middle one and keep going as you were with the others.
Watering from below is a game changer for houseplants.
Though cacti & succulents can get by with less water all together.
Monstera, gazing longingly out through the window, unaware that the outside temperature would kill it very quickly.
@girls_can you are probably too busy sciencing to spend the required time looking after the houseplants.
Not sure where you are, but peace lilies are good because they droop when they need water & if you water them from below (use a saucer) you won’t be able to overwater them - they don’t need lots of light and as long as the temperature doesn’t get too cold, you might be able to keep it alive.
