That is so true. It also helps to read about the conditions the plants
need. I know I used to kill all my houseplants from over-watering. I
couldn't figure it out til one day I read an article that said
over-watering was the number one cause of death of houseplants. A
lightbulb went off and now I have great plants.
I would hate to have to kill everything to learn about it, but I guess
experience is what she is trying to sell.
Maybe just letting a plant get a little sick!
