No Green Thumb For Me

It is official: my cactus is dead! I killed it. I swear I made sure to just give it enough water and sunlight. But for some reason, plants wilt and die when I try to take of them. I tried growing some plants from seeds, they will sprout, then they will die. It can be frustrating, and I admit I am envious of those who have really amazing plants inside their houses. The only time when I can have live plants are from the flower shop that I put in vases and that's it. I have tried other "resilient" house plants but shame on me, I still managed to kill it.
Oh well, I will try again, but perhaps I will seek (yet) more advises from my green-thumbed friends.

@Raine38 cactus so not need water to be hydrated all the time, but yes, i think you are not apt for tending cactus for that matter.

Oh lol, sorry for laughing, but it reminds me about the time I killed a cactus and felt really bad about it. I thought they were indestructible. Now I don't buy cactuces anymore. They are hard to repot/handle and according to fengshui they are not good to have in the house. Only in some areas I believe?

I am not a plant person. :) I do have one plant in my room that literally doesn't require much water and its been around since I was like 10! I think the plant is 16 years old now.

you really do not need a green thumb for t his.They do not like too much water.
If you are killing the plants.Time to hang it up and seek others.
