Curiosity pole, what’s the one plant you can’t keep alive? Mine is Aloe, I’ve killed literally like 15 of them even huge well established plants. 😬

    Any succulent or cactus. Anything that just needs to be left the heck alone 😂😂 Hoya Bella, my favourite. Can never keep it alive!

    I can’t do aloe either. Alocasias I’m also not good at.

      I have one alocasia and so far she’s alive but hasn’t given me any signs of thriving yet. I even specifically got a humidifier just for her. 🙄

      I had to look this one up because I had no idea what it was but now I do and I’d probably kill it too. 😂

    Mine are aloes too! I currently have my 4th aloe dying in my house right now! I don’t get it at all!!!

      Me either, I think my first few were over waters and my last several probably sun because I thought aloe liked lots of sun. 🤷🏼‍♀️
