I managed to kill one of those :(

Why can I keep cats and dogs just fine, but plants always get over or under watered and die.

Dogs and cats will let you know if they're hungry or thirsty, with house plants it's a little more subtle.

Oh nooo! I'm new to this hobby so stay tuned.... Lol

Is there a houseplant that you've had a lot of success with keeping alive?

[-] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Snake plants are easy, they pretty much thrive on neglect. You'll be fine.

And if not... well those of us who keep lots have plants have also killed lots of plants. Each time you learn something.

Sage advice

I have a golden pothos up out of pet reach. I need to water it, I think. The probe moisture thing says it's very dry.
