I can honestly say that this affliction didn't hit me when I hit 40. Now 53 I know that I'm never going to be a plant lady. LOL Every once in a while, I think maybe I'll get a succulent or something. But then I remember I have a black thumb and on the weeks that I'm not home, I wouldn't have anyone to come in and water them. LOL

Hah! You must be an anomaly. I too had a black thumb, and I morphed quick. 😂 Thank you as always, Ororo!

Welcome to plant parenthood! I think Costco is the gateway. We bought our fiddle leaf fig and a snake plant there and things have only expanded from there!

Hah! Happy to be among the plant ladies now. Oh man, I’ve had my eye on a fiddle leaf fig but I’m terrified of trying to keep an indoor plant alive with all of our outdoor escapades happening. I shall circle back when my outdoor babies are established. 😊

We have been lucky with our Rubber tree plant. Had it for about 30 yrs. Got in Ky and brought it here in Florida. Still growing. About 6 ft now. Getting ready to try an trim it. Hope our green thumb holds up. Lols. Good luck on your plants !’

I killed a cactus. It’s not possible. 😝

SHEEZ, we have a new theory that one person in each relationship is a plant lady. Does Richard do plants or no?

Haha, that makes me laugh because I did buy a couple plants back in the day, and made SURE they were in the succulent family because I heard we can’t kill them, or “they’re very hard to kill.” You proved that wrong for us! And I’m

fairly certain I did, too, with one or two. Love you SHEEZ.
