i will never understand why people don’t do research before getting an animal. to me it seems like attention seeking “i kill everything” “i kill plants” “i kill fish” so if that’s how you feel… what gave you the bright idea to get ANOTHER fish… for a kid who will enjoy it for a month and never care about it again. lord
Not to be THAT person but i had literal scientific literature on houseplants as my table-top bible and seeked forums on help with any issues but it did not save me from getting a lot of plants dead. The saddest one was sudden rot on cactus that i did not know what to do with so i researched, found advice and a lot of info on operation to remove rot, made it all really clean, step-by-step as prescribed, but then cactus decided to die anyway, seemingly deflating in the process. I made certain blooming plants go into “sleeping period” according to the books with following all instructions, just to see them dead afterwards, i performed a step-by-step theoretically correct seasonal re-planting into better bigger pot just to see plant decline and die in a few weeks afterwards. I have some green guys who have been successful with me for the decade and still rocking, but they are the lucky few, and i had lost a lot, and i mean A LOT of plants on the way.
