Green thumb

I love greens and plants but for some bizarre reason, they don't love me back.  I tried several times to grow succulents (prettier version of cactus) inside the house because I thought they are low maintenance house plants, need very minimal watering, they don't grow tree-big hence no repotting but alas, they died after a few weeks even with my utmost care.  I even started talking to them because I read from somewhere that you should talk to your plants which I thought was ridiculous.  My husband calls them my "victims". 

Hi, I'm Lisa and I am a plant killer. =(

Isn't it alarming that I cannot even take care of a freakin' low-maintenance plant? How much more if it were a dog or a cat? Worse, a kid?!  I took care of my younger siblings when they were babies but what the heck happened to my maternal instinct? This is really disturbing.

For the meantime, while I am exploring my options on how to grow a green thumb, I have embraced the fake greens and silk plants at home. No maintenance besides occasional dusting. lol.
