Plants: To Kill or Not To Kill

Green thumb? Apparently not. :-) I'm going to keep trying until I find plants that are truly hard to kill. If I didn't kill it, you should be okay. Do you have any plants for me to try?

These two plants are the same thing. One is definitely dead, the other is still hanging on. Poor Areca Palm Trees!  To be fair, I left them alone with the hubby for a month so it's not all my fault. I'm going to try again with these.




 Indoor Lemon Tree. It's not totally dead yet. I never did get around to finishing potting it.


 Snake Plant: AKA Mother-in-Law's Tongue
Can't kill this one!! I'm getting more of this!

 Ferns: Well, they didn't survive my absence too well and I didn't do such a great job keeping them alive. They shed leaves like crazy. I think this one was a bad idea. The plant in the middle? That's the fake one. :-)

 I had Ficus Trees in my bedroom but they had flies so got kicked outside. They've really been thriving out here. If you think it looks bad in this pic, you should have seen it a couple of weeks ago. I might get more of these if I can find some that can be guaranteed pest free.

This is supposed to be my herb garden with tomato plants. I need to add drainage, I think most of the plants drowned. The herbs are hard to kill. I think Thyme and Oregano are still hanging on with the tall Basil. See the lizard?
