Hi everyone! Long time lurker here and now first time poster. I was wondering if you guys had any plants that you can’t keep alive no matter what you do, for me it’s any kind of ivy, it’ll be dead within two weeks if I’m lucky, less than that if I’m not so lucky, how about you guys!?

I’ve never had a fern but for me it’s the jade. I’ve had like 5 and keep trying idk what I’m doing wrong!

Aloe and peace lilies, supposedly easy plants but I've killed so many 🤦🏼‍♀️

### Tina commented on 2026-07-27

Maidenhair Fern. Such a delicate beauty. Little turd can't keep them alive. I've tried 5 times. 🤬

Fiddle Leaf Figs do me dirty after three tries. 🤷🏻‍♀️

China Doll, I’ve had three, they all died during the winter

What type of plant is that? Aralia??

#### Sylvia replied on 2026-07-28

It’s also called a Asian Bell tree, so it’s a miniature house plant

Peperomias and some syngoniums… I have a mini syngonium now and it has last the longest so far! lol

Funny enough, lythops are what get me 🙃

### McKenzie commented on 2026-07-27

Tradescantia 🥲. Also alocasia. I always manage to get the corms to root and put out new leaves but then they enter the death loop of a single tiny leaf dying and growing back repeatedly.

### Skyrider commented on 2026-07-27

Roses. Although that’s probably through neglect usually. I tried so hard with this one though, and it ended up like this 🥲

Calatheas for me! I've had 2 types and both died on me. Never again 😢
