Re: Easy houseplants for someone with no green thumb?

[(Anonymous)]

Someone gave me a large white Phalaenopsis for my birthday, once - and it's been a few years now and it's going strong; because of the success of that one, I started just buying them when they're on sale (the supermarket nearby tends to stock them near holidays, but their staff don't take care of them so they tend to look sad and get marked down) and now I have a windowsill of adoptees in various stages of life. I guess it helps to start with some that are older and thus a bit less delicatet? I am a sucker for simple routines, so "Saturday - water orchids" works well for me. Every other month if they're actively shooting leaves or spikes, I treat them to a small stick of fertalizer, and I repot maybe once a year.
But yeah, before that, nothing ever lived longer than a month or two in my care. So really have no idea what possessed my sister to give me the first one.

My grocery always has a huge display of them late spring/early summer, and they are *gorgeous* - so many beautiful colors! But I have incredibly limited space for plants (I have cats, and there is nowhere but my smallish bathroom where I can put plants that need any amount of sunlight), so even though i'm *always* tempted, I never buy.

And then i got three in rather rapid succession, from my sister, my ex-SO/daughter and a friend and wow, no, they did not survive. I even carefully followed directions and asked my sister for advice (she's had one or two for years) and...nope.

I currently have what might be a philodendron (who knows!) and something called a 'Moses in the Basket' that a women who comes by the fire department a lot gave me. I can only hope they survive until winter is over, because the possible-philodendron was horrifically pot-bound, and i only had my crappy yard dirt to put in there, and I don't think it's terribly happy (plus - we have not had much sun at all for the past two months). The other seems to be okay, even though the cats ate some of the leaves back (turns out it's poisonous to cats, awesome! but nobody threw up).

So we shall see!

Wow, sorry to blather my plant woes at you, heh. Guess i needed to vent!
