Do you think I ...Don't be a quitter, Christine! Do you think I was born with a green thumb? Let me tell you this: in my first two years as an indoor gardening enthusiast, I killed all of my plants, too! Then I started to read extensively on the internet about the history and care of every plant I had. I've read for days... The trick is to pay attention to all sorts of stuff, like position, light, temperature etc. and especially to watch the plants closely. In my learning days, I inspected each plant twice a day, every day. Even now, most plants in the bedroom catch an unknown disease. And the ones on the sunny balcony may not survive the scorching sun of hot Romanian summers. So the key is to love them, to care for them like you would do with a sick child... and to never give up :)Meeha Meehahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385544446760731058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2968945661412857767.post-18338920770775223472013-11-06T23:02:02.149-08:002013-11-06T23:02:02.149-08:00i had no idea you could do such a thing! but i am ...i had no idea you could do such a thing! but i am not convinced i could, even with these fantastic tips. i seem to be the grim reaper where house plants are concerned. i really do think it's in a persons DNA - no matter what i do they die. i have even killed off a few airplants!! i keep trying but right now i am on a break because i am feeling guilty for my last years efforts and my grave of house plants.Christine D. | The Plumed Nesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316436687636569331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2968945661412857767.post-69212828173483819712013-11-06T17:37:28.862-08:002013-11-06T17:37:28.862-08:00A mi me encantan los bulbos Meehha ..
