keep a plant alive

I’ve had my poor little donkey tail for almost a year and it WAS doing really, really well. It looked good and was sprouting out new growth. But then I moved to a new office and the donkey tail is looking very sad. I had to cut off a lot of dead parts of my poor plant and then decided to bring it home to care for. I’m hoping a little TLC here at home will keep it alive. Fingers crossed!

I’m going to put my money where my mouth is and go out and get myself a pretty little houseplant and container this weekend. I think I’ll take my plant to work so I won’t neglect it too much…and so it’s safe from my kitties! Maybe I can turn my black thumbs green….or at least gray!! :)

I am completely incapable of keeping a plant alive. I’ve tried in the past, but I always fail. I should just give it up and understand that I have black thumbs….that I am a murderer of plants. But I don’t want to throw in the towel just yet. Even though I’ve managed to kill a cactus, I want to try again. I wonder who my next victim will be?
