I don't have the best green thumb. In fact, my family always wonder how I manage to kill even cactus. I don't know how I do it, but. . . My daughter gave me this bonsai a year or two ago and I've managed to keep it alive. But that little pot, there on the left, yeah, I bought that succulent this spring and well, um, I don't think it's coming back.

I just loved the way the little bonsai looked against the screen in the window and the dappled sunlight. :0)
LOL....it sounds like you have a green thumb (just like me)! Although, I do think your plants look better than mine!
ReplyDeleteMe too Lisa! I kill cactus...and even Jade Plants! Who does that?? Yours still look better than mine! I now have only silk inside!
ReplyDeleteSucculents are hard to care for, so, nor worries ;)
ReplyDeleteThe bonsai looks very healthy. Perhaps you over-watered the succulent. Most people do that.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Yeah, I have the same color thumb as you do. :) If it can´t survive by one watering a week, it´s not making it at my house....
ReplyDeleteI have the original Black Thumb. I can not only kill a cactus, I can kill a plastic cactus.
ReplyDeleteTrue story.
black thumb here too. i can't keep a plant alive for anything. i either over water or under water. there's no happy medium. anyway, your bonsai looks really healthy. hope all is well.
ReplyDeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteI, too, have black thumb disease. It's horrible. Whenever I mention buying a plant, Hubby just rolls on the floor with tears of laughter streaming down his face. Jerk! One of our dinner party guests brought me an orchid Saturday night and I put it in the kitchen window and am waiting for it to commit suicide!
ReplyDeleteYou make me laugh. I do the same thing to plants. I guess we can always go outside and visit the green friends we just can't seem to live with.
ReplyDeleteI planted my garden from seed three times this year. I'm finally getting a few edible veggies now!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I don't think it matters what color your thumb is. Or which direction you sneeze. Or what your favorite color it. It's just how many hungry bunnies and grasshoppers are nearby. :)
Okay, so I know you didn't have those in your house, but I don't always think it's the gardener causing the withering!
I love plants, I have plenty of them in my house almost in every room, I love them and they love me back growing beautifuly, however I killed one or two, the thing is I sometimes forget to water them for a week or a bit longer and then I put too much water and well... some of them don't like that
ReplyDeleteI am amazed! Bonsai's are usually harder to maintain. I found with Cactus if you plant them outside they fair better. Anything in a pot needs extra water to survive!
