My daughter is death to plants and flowers!
Our eldest daughter only has to look at a plant or bunch of flowers and they seem to die!
Being a vicar she is often given them as a gift for services rendered. Most of them end up at our home where they get proper care. Yesterday I had to rescue a cactus of hers, which was on its last legs!Is there any member of this forum who puts a jinx on plants and flowers?

Tara, a confession from me. A neighbor once threw out a live plant display that someone sent her after her brother died. She had not watered it and hence it was also ready for the grave.I waited till she left and scurried over to rescue it from the trash. Still have it today.

I love plants and flowers, and my friend always says I have 'green fingers.'They are living things to me, and I enjoy caring for them and do my utmost to keep them healthy.
This very night I have sown 3 different types of seed and popped in my little progogator.
Yes, I could buy them and save the bother, but I really enjoy watching things grow.

Unfortunately, I have no idea Adanac - sorry.
It could depend on so many things e.g. light, temperature, over/under watering, old seed used, 'damping off' disease, not sowing at right time, old compost - lots of things.
