Plants I Gave Up On

Every plant parent has killed a bunch of plants that didn't do well enough to stay alive. I am no exception. Sometimes even the easiest plants are the hardest for me.

The first would be a Fern Nephrolepis. I wanted to love it I swear but it needs all my attention every day which I am not able of doing. During the fall months it did quite well or at least it was in its best shape but in winter it becomes an ugly plant I can't keep happy no matter what I have tried. The leaves keep getting crispy, it needs more humidity and I am too lazy to turn on a humidifier so I just gave up on it. If it dies it dies.

The second is echeveria or basically any other succulent I have owned. I have like 30 of those and now it's no more than five. The Echeveria needs lots of lighting which I can't provide so it looks ugly and not happy at all. I will never buy another succulent in my life. Too tricky to care for. And I don't know why those are called perfect plants for beginners.

The next stop is my Peperomia Napoli Night. I got a full plant a few months ago, it looked amazingly good until it didn't.

3 out of 8 are dead 

Look how beautiful it looked along with the Peperomia Rosso and Green Gold (I don't remember the exact name). The last one died in a week after getting it.

The one you can see next to the Syngonium Panda did not look this way for long too. Now it is all sad and I am not sure it will live through the winter. And I also forgot about the Tradeskantsia in the left corner. Did not live longer than a week too.

And this succulent collection died as well. By the way, after repotting the String-Of-Pearls, I thought it was going to grow faster but it didn't. It stays in the same place as on the picture even tho it's been two months after the pic was taken.

Asparagus Fern. I have two of these and both keep yellowing their leaves. I don't know what am I doing wrong, maybe there are spider mites in the soil but I don't see any. So it will probably die as well and I am not going to say sorry for this one.

And the last one is an Alocasia Zebrina and it's not like I failed with it too. It had five leaves, not it's three and it remains still for a couple of months. I am still hoping it will get all big like those I see on Instagram but I am not sure anymore.

So this is the list of the plants I failed with and sometimes plants just hate you, it's okay, you have to admit it and not blame yourself for doing something wrong.
