Anyone else an accidental plant serial killer? I’ve decided to go into growing plants and little indoor/outdoor gardens after a back surgery that has limited my mobility. Before this I’ve done aero gardens and little to no effort counter garden kits. I’m very much learning by screwing up and I’m starting to rake up a decent sized plant graveyard. I guess I wonder to what extent is things dying off or being intentionally killed off the norm for gardeners? It feels weird to fail so much. Ignoring the healthy plants I’ve murdered, see pics, there’s also things like the “I propagated way too many cosmos and will have to kill 1/2-2/3 of them. That feels… weird. But I can’t save them all. I think. Thoughts?

    For any species, you'll kill about three before you really know how to care for it. Also as you learn, you'll notice that plants in the same families get similar care, so you can learn on one plant per group and have fewer losses. Everybody makes mistakes, even experienced plant keepers, so just try again. And a tip: all plants can be divided into woody, herbaceous (soft-stem), and succulent/cactus. You'll probably find one of those groups easier based on your natural watering tendencies, so try them all and learn the basics with whichever group gets along with you well

    How dare you show that gore on here. lol joking. You gotta start somewhere, I’m new to the inside plant game but the outside one was my world for a while now. I’ve definitely killed plants and I’m sure I’ll kill more. (On accident of course)
