My One Success


Over the years I have had MANY house plants. Most died within the first month of arriving home. The plants that we have now are alive due to the diligence of my darling husband. My problem? I ignore them until they wilt and then I over-water them. It's just a cycle that I haven't been able to overcome. There is one plant, however, that I have had for about 15 years. Yep, you guessed it, it's a cactus. It started as a tiny plant, a couple of inches above the soil. Now, it's a monster. It's the only plant that's been able to survive my erratic watering style. Luckily, I don't seem to have this problem with outdoor plants. If it's in the ground, it's safe. (My darling husband also helps with the watering.)
