House Plants for Those With Brown Thumbs

Here are some plants that are almost impossible to kill.  Whether you over-water, under-water, not enough light, etc.  These make you look like you have 2 green thumbs when you really don't /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I should get my mom one. She really does try but kills all of them. lol

These are nice also.  They wilt when they need watering and then perk up when you do.  I've had mine for 5 years.  I've had a mother in law's tongue... the long spike leaf plant for over 17 years and its still around.  I have over watered it til it was swimming, then I didn't water it for 8 months for the water to evaporate.  Its still alive in the corner of my living room.

Thanks a lot, i'm such a cluts when it comes to tending to plants !

Well this isn't a plant it's a flower and i don't have a brown thumb but if you like flowers and want something easy to take care of get a orchid. All you have to do is keep it out of drafts and direct sunlight and give it three ice cubes a week and it's happy.

Have you gotten them to re-flower?  I can keep the foliage alive but it never flowers again /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Cool. Thanks for posting. I'll have to look into that.
