Terrariums with small grow lights are a cheat code for these plants. If you keep it mega humid in there and let the water drain away from the roots so they don't rot, they go absolutely ham.

I'm just patiently waiting for the c/houseplantsgonewild section.

My watering is just fine

It just turns out plants like more than 6" of dirt. Maybe I should've realized this already, but on the other hand, I learned this empirically with no support and second hand advice

I'm able to cook, I don't have a cursed non-green appendage, but gardening indoors is a skill I'm still working out

And poor drainage, the wrong light, lack of nutrients, and build up of minerals or being pot-bound.

I'm pretty sure it's because I play them the wrong music.

Wait a second. This is Sounds of the Boreal Forest! No wonder my bamboo is withering away.

If you're not playing Sinead O'Conner for your Bog Rosemary, you're going to kill it.

This is definitely not something specific to women at all. Men also love to neglect plants.

Or they started with the photo and then made the title.

It's probably both.

I could kill a cactus native to my location. Because I have. 😔

Well she evolved to hunt and gather, so maybe don't blame her for gathering.

Lest she switch to hunting

In the end, it doesn't even matter
