I did everything to kill mine. I stopped watering it,shook the pot until the soil loosened.

When winter came I sat it outside,it finally gave up the fight.

i might as well show off my others

...i cant remember the name of the other one

I gave my sister in law 2 crotons, they were dead within 6 months

sammij said:

I had a pineapple plant a couple years ago. It outgrew the room I had so I gave it to my brother's girlfriend and she killed it before the babypineappple got big.

i have a rooting of part of the christmas cactus that my grandmother had for decades
then my uncle took care of it for the past 30 years
and now it's my turn

it's not doing so well

emm said:

uh oh!

ZombieKitten said:

too much pressure!



you should have seen the tree a 60 year old cactus becomes

Does bamboo count..it's about the only thing I can't kill

Hell no! Just ONE on the balcony & it's half dead already (had it a little over 2 months) b/c I can never remember it's out there. Then I see those brown ass leaves & I'm like, "OH YEA! I GOTTA WATER THAT SHIT!"

on sunday I went to cactus world with the boys and there was a cactus skeleton! incredible!

ZombieKitten said:

england is sooo rubbish

jami0mckay said:

inside Garden World there is Cactus World and Orchid World!

ZombieKitten said:

thats it I'm selling my house and moving!

jami0mckay said:

I recommend the Gold Coast, they have Movie World and Sea World

ZombieKitten said:

all I have is Grey Coast, The Odeon, and a seal world, which is rubbish cos he wasn't there, didn't sing anything

jami0mckay said:

I didn't know he had his own theme park

ZombieKitten said:

it was rubbish, I was so dissapointed I refused to watch Flipper for a week.

In the bedroom: 2 bonsai

In the kitchen: always a basil plant, and a random herb plant like parsley chives or thyme.

In the office: cactuses so I musn't think about caring for them too much

In the livingroom: white orchids, but like the nature of women they're quite fickle and very difficult to sustain.

I genrally keep fresh flowers in addition to those in every room as they are very inexpensive here. I looooove plants

MoniGram said:

Yes, me too. I have lots of them. They do require work, but it's worth it.

Empress said:

It is so worth it!
