I tried to grow an herb garden but I just grew mold :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-houseplants#post-691824 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 13:39:14 +0000 Boogs 691824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Nope, that's normal for them! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-houseplants#post-691822 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 13:38:20 +0000 Boogs 691822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, that my MIL keeps bringing me because SHE likes them. I wish I didn't have any. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-houseplants#post-691797 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 13:29:18 +0000 Anagram 691797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have just two plants---an ivy and a curry plant. In my MS phase, I told my hubby that either the curry plant or I had to go (the smell was just too much for me), so he stripped it of all its leaves and hid the leaves far, far away from my nose.</p> <p>But it's grown back now--so we didn't kill it! Annnnnd I'm back to not being able to smell it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-houseplants#post-691783 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 13:24:43 +0000 Maysprout 691783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have seedlings right now to put outside once they get bigger. We did have houseplants but LO likes the dirt too much and I don't have a set up to put them out of her reach. I might try to figure that out this summer, even if I keep them on the table though she ends up climbing up and pulling them down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-houseplants#post-691766 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 13:20:16 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 691766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: shows you what I know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-houseplants#post-691764 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 13:19:36 +0000 MediaNaranja 691764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had lofty dreams of having lots of houseplants, and found a metal plant stand to hold them. They are all dead now :( I am a bad plant owner.</p> <p>I do fine with a garden, but something about a plant being indoors makes me neglect it until it dies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-houseplants#post-691748 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 13:12:56 +0000 LindsayInNY 691748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have bamboo but somehow it keeps dying (I thought it wasn't suppose to die?!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-houseplants#post-691652 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 12:35:10 +0000 HLK208 691652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I always forget to take care of them :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-houseplants#post-691567 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 12:05:29 +0000 Smurfette 691567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No cause I always kill them. But I want to get some now since we have so much light in the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-houseplants#post-691519 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 11:51:42 +0000 MrsH 691519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have quite a few European gardens that we got when my dad passed. Those are still going.

I hope I don't kill it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-houseplants#post-691211 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 10:45:20 +0000 .twist. 691211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>unfortunately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-houseplants#post-691204 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 10:44:46 +0000 looch 691204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at the moment, but when we move, yes. I plan to plant them in those moisture rocks, not soil, I heard that helps people with black thumbs keep them alive longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-houseplants#post-691184 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 10:42:23 +0000 Dandelion 691184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I can't keep plants alive. Also, my tabby cat will eat them and then throw up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-houseplants#post-691172 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 10:40:27 +0000 Mommy Finger 691172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We received a few after my MIL passed a year and a half ago. I felt a lot of pressure to keep them alive! As of now, I gave one to my mom and we have one more still thriving. Thankfully you don't need to water it much. I did not inherit my mom's green thumb but would like to try to have a garden some day </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-houseplants#post-691129 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 10:33:17 +0000 BananaPancakes 691129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 5 or 6. I've tried them all and have a handful I cannot kill, so those are the ones we keep around. I almost never water them, so I think my maid must be when she comes every other week. </p> <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I think this is normal. My grandmother bought us one (in bloom) for my son's birth a year ago, and it's just about to bloom again.</p> <p>For anyone in the market for a plant you absolutely cannot kill, I recommend the ZZ plant. I bought mine at Lowe's, stuck it in a dark corner, then forgot about it for like 2 months, and it didn't die. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-houseplants#post-691098 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 10:26:10 +0000 Grace 691098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 10 in the house. I love how it makes the rooms seem more cosy. I wish I was better at watering them though. They would look so much better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-houseplants#post-690766 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 09:30:24 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 690766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No I can't keep inside plants alive for anything! But we have a ton to take care of outside...and they're living :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-houseplants#post-690674 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 09:13:23 +0000 mediagirl 690674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I kill everything. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-houseplants#post-690669 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 09:12:22 +0000 spaniellove 690669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Oh no, that's a good thing! They don't bloom very often...a lot of them bloom once a year! And this is the time for a lot of them. It sounds like yours is a happy orchid!</p> <p>I have a couple of indoor citrus trees in my sunroom and a bunch of orchids scattered throughout the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-houseplants#post-690457 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 08:29:36 +0000 sorrycharlie 690457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to but I killed it. My MIL used to come over and try to save it, but...sadly it died.</p> <p>Funny thing, is DH bought it for me when we started dating - it was our "Love Fern" and when it died, he made a big show (jokingly) about how I let our love fern die! (how to lose a guy, anyone?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-houseplants#post-690102 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 03:58:41 +0000 illumina 690102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, though as I'm not great at maintaining them, I've whittled them down to just 3. A beautiful Amaryllis in the kitchen, a Jade plant, also in the kitchen and a huge palm type plant in the living room (I don't know the name) that I inherited from my parents at some point... it's taller and older than me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-houseplants#post-690030 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 01:06:45 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 690030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one orchid. It is finally coming back in bloom after months of dormancy. I'm apparently a terrible plant owner! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-houseplants#post-690024 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 00:42:34 +0000 VanillaBean 690024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I have one. I do not know what type of house plant it is but I love it. It is so low maintenance and I water it about once in two weeks. I do know that it is not a succulent plant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-houseplants#post-689107 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 19:25:41 +0000 regberadaisy 689107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha plant killers, succulents are virtually un-killable as are cactus. But I do know someone who killed a cactus.. </p>
