I find it incredibly frustrating.
Some plants will die right away so at least it’s a fast failure.
But others will be ok for quite a while, several months or even a year or two. And then they’ll start yellowing, losing leaves, whatever, and eventually die.
Even plants that are supposedly hardy, like ivy.
I absolutely hate growing plants, and it actually makes me angry to see them fail. Even though I love an interior with plants, I’m actually feeling better if I never tried to have the plant than if I did and it inevitably dies.
Luckily, I live in nature and can open the windows instead, my surroundings being a forest.
- tyjaksn 5y agoThe yellowing leaves suggest you might be watering the plants too much. This seems to be among the more common issues with houseplants.
- carapace 5y agoI'm not an expert but to me this suggests at least two possibilities: 1) Were you feeding them at all? Maybe they were just running out of nutrients. 2) Something environmental in your area, bad water or radon or something.
