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!?

Spider plants for me, they are my nemesis. I was just given another one, so far so good. But for an easy plant, the only easy thing for me is to kill it! This is coming from someone who has had houseplants for 40+ years and has some hard to keep ones too! Maybe is ‘cause I hate the 8 legged kind, lol

Weirdly, spider plants. Tried all sorts of experimental solutions on different iterations of spider plants, but every time they just wilt and die regardless. Could be the high chlorine in my city’s water, but dang it all if those suckers don’t hate me
