Plant lover – who was once a serious Plant Killer.
From being plant killer all my life to an obsessive plant lover, the journey has been wonderful.
I have seriously come a long way.
I always loved plants but somehow was always known to kill them unknowingly.
I became helpless to an extent that I used to just admire plants from far at my childhood home. I couldn’t afford to let another plant die?.
In fact my mom even tried passing on some gardening knowledge to me, but it didn’t help either.
Last year I decided to give our love another shot ( I’m assuming that plants love me too?).
I got some plants from a nearby nursery and two sets of plants again died up on me, making me feel miserable and Question my love for them.
During the beginning of the year 2020, I started my research. Made a journal and researched about the plants we had at home. Learnt how to propagate plants. Also found out how I could grow plants from easily accessible seeds at home.
Found out what they needed and how I could keep them alive.
I don’t remember names of all the plants, but looking at it I can say how to take care of them.
Even though I know I took a long time to learn to care for the plants, I am glad I didn’t give up.
I now have set up a schedule to water my plants, both indoor and outdoor.
I don’t have a zillion of them, but enough for me to be able to care for them well.
This is one obsession I am really proud of.

I have an interesting story of a plant I revived after it died up on me 5 times.( Will share soon).
Gardening gives me Sukoon and the soil is therapeutic.
The Attitude of never giving up is what I learnt from my plants. They never gave up completely on me. Probably that’s what gave me a push to learn how to care for them. Plants teach us how to thrive even when there is no hope.
They teach us how
Are you an obsessive Plant lover too?
Isn’t it something to be proud of??

I am a plant killer, have tried and tried no luck so far
Gosh! I am sure when the time is right you will get it.
oh . This is so so relatable . I was a plant killer too . I am now extra cautious when it comes to managing the plants. Gardening is the best therapy
Happy to hear that.
Lovely! I love plants but unfortunately can’t take good care of them.
I totally get you.
Very honest post.. I am also a plant killer unknowingly. But reading your post I think I should also give it a try.
You must. It just fill my day with so much positivity.
I love plants but not much into garderning ,whereas my hubby is plant lover in new house he planted 30 plants and he took care of them cutting ,watering, adding manure. I love to see his passion growing with each plant sapling growing.
That’s Fabulous Gurjeet.
That’s some astounding Plant love, and such a pleasant transformation. Plants do teach us to thrive and so much more. Lovely post.
Thanks
I too love plants a lot and even indoor plants are my weakness!!
That’s Great Ruchi
This post is so cool! Loved to read about your transition! Plants make everything seem better and you have inspired me to get some again.
That’s lovely Mayuri.
Sometimes, things that we fail in, teach us new ways to win them over them. There’s so much pleasure to be with plants and when they love you back.
I totally agree Geethica.
My journey has been similar to yours. I couldn’t keep even a Tulsi alive earlier and now have many plants that I care for dearly now. It truly is therapeutic.
So true. It indeed is therapeutic.
Enjoyed reading your post. Gardening is very therapeutic. I love being surrounded by the greens.
Thant’s wonderful Madhu
Your title itself caught my imagination 🙂 I have a huge garden and was wondering how can anyone kill plants. I am glad you overcame it and gave it another shot.
I am so glad i could make this happen eventually.
I could relate to your post being the same myself. I get happy around plants now. They emit a typical fragrance that uplifts my mood. Kudos and happy Alexa to you.
Ahh that is so true. The fragrance uplifts my mood.
home gardens have started picking up and my mom started her own simple yet effective growing of Vegetables and flowers at home, managing everything at home and not using pesticides.. can soo relate…
This is great. I too wish to do that soon.
Plant lover always and I got this from my mom. Loved the pics!
That’s great
Such a heart felt post. Plants and gardening always helps in bringing in peace and the change of attitude is visible the moment you indulge. Lovely plants and all the best for the new passion.
I couldn’t agree more. And thanks.
Plants do attract positive energy and must say positive people too as they appealed you.
hehe Thanks.
I’m a plant killer who’s hoping to become a plant birther soon ?
hehe..I am sure you can get there.
I was a plant killer too and now I am much better but not a pro. I am still scared but agree that gardening is therapeutic and fun.
Better is anyday good 🙂
Plants make me happy too.. The aura they create around us is magical… Being with plants just liftup ur mood and make you happy…
I totally know this feeling now.
I have always loved plants but never got the space and time for planting more of them but now whatever few plants I have I give them adequate care and love and like you said its therapeutic.
Yes Manisha, it’s definitely therapeutic.
Its always great to meet a kindred plant lover. I have also killed my fair share of plants, especially succulents. But it just takes will power and grit to not let it pull you down. Keep up your passion.
Thanks Ginia. Its been a splendid journey.
I have always been a plant lover and have a home full of plants.Leaening to take care of them and choosing the right plant is crucial.
That’s wonderful Amrit.
That’s lovely Preet, Nature, and gardening give me real solace and I’m so glad you read and then started once again!
I know Jhilmil. I had no option but to do some research. Seeing them die was aweful.
That’s quite an inspiring blog. Mom loved plants and planting and keeps growing nad taking care of them.
Thanks Afreen.
Since last couple of years on diwali, I am collecting children in neighborhood and giving them message that grow plants instead of bursting crackers. Few parents revolt but I will try again this year. It is important to grow plants in our house as forrests are being destroyed for fun.
This is such a fabulous Idea. Do let me know if you need my help in creating awareness about this.
This is a lovely post sharing your journey as a plant lover loved it.
Thanks Nazish.
Oh, I am a huge plant lover too 🙂 and I cant bear the loss of any plants
I hear you.
This is so good to hear you got life message of never giving up from nurturing plants once again.
Thanks. It makes me happy too.
I am so there with you on this post. I killed so many plants cos I loved them too much (either over-watered them or over-fertilized them). I have finally kept a gardener to keep me in check, he does all the heavy lifting while I just admire my plants
So glad to hear that Harshita.
this is amazing! can totally relate to. even I am plant-obsessed!!!
That’s nice!
I too love plants and more than me my daughter loves to take care of these tiny beauties. Ha e small garden in my balcony and love go sit there for hours.
That is wonderful Preeti.
I’m still a plant killer. Hopefully, I’ll become a plant lover soon.
Ahh! I am sure you can make it if you put your heart to it.
wow, you revived it five times? Its still healthy now?
Hehe! Thankfully yes. I have learnt over the time about the plants we have.
This is so my story! Before owning a few plants of my own, I thought gardening was a child’s play. That’s when I got introduced to delicate plants like Croton. It took me 6 months to finally help them from not dying. I soon realized that gardening was a work of patience, love and lots of knowledge. Thanks for sharing your story, Preetjyot.
Happy to hear that you didn’t give up on this. Crotons are gorgeous.
