Everyone loves plants. Whether they admit it or not to the public, seeing the trees bloom or a shrub get a bit fuller, nature is proven to bring people happiness. Growing up, I was surrounded by plants. My grandmother had plants lining her hallways tucked in window frames and encasing her living room. My mom was not too far behind. Our porch and deck full of nature's beauty and every morning the dew would rise on our semi-jungle on the deck. That's when I bought my first plant. I was so excited, I could finally take care of something that was my own, with nothing to worry about... SIKE I killed it within a week. My little fourth-grade heart was crushed and I didn't know where I went wrong, I mean I watered it, I gave it sunlight, and I kept it outside. I followed the "green thumb" rules and still messed up.
