Do you have a green thumb? Can you grow any plant? email this discussion to a friend?

I like plants, and people say I have a green thumb. I think its's just a matter of consistency in taking care of the plants. Watering, fertilizing if needed and sometimes I go to the extent of talking to them. I ask my orchids to bear flowers and they do.

I find it relaxing to just sit down and look at my plants.

How about you?

My thumb is black. In fact, my husband requests that I don't talk to, water or look at the plants! I did however have some suggest with my garden in a wagon. Mostly because nature took most of the care. I envy those with green thumbs, because I love a house full of plants.

Yes, plants are good to see even in the living room. Not everybody may like the idea but I have at least 3 tall plants in my living room. I have to take them out at night to have a breath of fresh air.

enjoy!

I think I can say that I am a green thumb person. I love gardening ever since I was a child. I once bought a dying phalaenopsis (butterfly) orchid baby. It looked so terrible with the roots almost rotten. I don't know why I chose a dying plant, I just felt challenged. In two weeks the orchid was in so much better condition.

good for you. welcome to the green thumb club.

I think I do, but finding a place to plant in the city is just next to impossible, besides my place is too cramped to accommodate plants. Cheers!


myLot reputation of 91/100. manong05 (2932)   ranked 29 out of 37,951 in life  1 month ago

Yes, the city being a concrete jungle provides little spaces to grow plants. If one lives in high rises, chances are there will be no room to grow plants unless the small hanging ones.

I have a brown thumb. lol I cannot keep plants alive. I kill almost every plant that comes in my house. Even the ones that are kinda hard to kill. My mom is like that too so I guess I get it from her. She used to kill plants and then my grandpa would take them when he was alive and bring them back to life. He had a very green thumb.:-)


myLot reputation of 91/100. manong05 (2932)   ranked 29 out of 37,951 in life  1 month ago

Yes I think most grandpas are. Most of them are very good with plants. So you are a plant killer huh LOL

sometimes it is green but most of the times, it is brown, lol. it turns green leaves into brown until it finally dies. i know, it is just a matter of taking care of these plants. we have very bad soil where we are as it was once a rice field and it was dumped with sandy soil (more pebbles than soil, actually). we embarked on backyard gardening last year as i sought the help of someone from the department of agriculture. she taught me how to prepare soil. we bought soil and fertilized it. we placed the soil in black agricultural plastic bags (similar to trash bags sold in stores). we had grown very good tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and onions. but the ants have slowly killed them. what remains are the onions, papayas and lemoncito trees. and, of course, the malunggays which are also free for the taking, like u do, my friend. happy


myLot reputation of 91/100. manong05 (2932)   ranked 29 out of 37,951 in life  1 month ago

The good old malunggay keeps popping up. hahahaha That is not a good soil to grow most home plants unless you cover it with garden soil but for fruit bearing trees you might be successful. Yes the idea of putting garded soil in plastic bags or other containers can do the trick. But this malunggay grow anywhere and you can do a good service to the community. Everyone loves malunggay.

enjoy!

Hello manong. I do not have a green thumb because some of the plants we bought this summer are dying though we water them every day. It cost us a lot to buy them. I wish them to come back to life next spring.
