I too have a "black thumb of death" with plenty of flora bodies buried in the back yard. I love plants, purchase them on a whim and yet they die.

Misting and a little plant food in the spring is a great idea as well. I love plants!

I just wanted to tell you how much I loved reading the article about you and your home. Your home is so beautiful, and you are such an inspiration to us all.... I just love your style. I love how you added twigs to your Christmas tree, I can't stop looking at all the pictures of your home.

I moved them from my living room to the office so I would not have to look at them and they are thriving. African violet is constantly covered with flowers, Christmas cactus blooms monthly. They love it in this slightly cool room with a south west window that gets shaded late day light. <br /><br />Unless they are succulents and desert plants, keep them out of direct light. Water more for ferns and less for everything else.<br /><br />For someone who hates plants, I have many successful ones and some at my office which I inherited and which are also thriving (low oxygen environment likely).<br /><br />Honestly, neglect and not direct light works for me. Plant food I have heard is a godsend. If you want amazing plants, plant FOOD is king. They will be beautiful. I wish you lived closer and you could take mine to a photo shoot and kill them.<br /><br />: )<br /><br />xo TerriWindlosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014227226507484798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030308239398272700.post-49599723480573115652010-11-13T20:52:02.552-05:002010-11-13T20:52:02.552-05:00I corner with some plants can make all the differe...I corner with some plants can make all the difference in the look and feel of a room. Unfortunately I am not very lucky with keeping house plants alive in my home either although I'm very successful with my garden. I know how you feel like Lauren and I was misting like a freak too, but then after I left for a long weekend and everything was about dying again when I came back, I just gave up and added artificial flora to my rooms and every now and then some fresh flowers. I wish you best luck with your plants. Add some mild fertilizer for indoor plants once in a while, maybe that will help on your end. I didn't do the trick for me either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030308239398272700.post-89256996813869888442010-11-13T16:01:53.072-05:002010-11-13T16:01:53.072-05:00Bought my copy of BHG yesterday!
