That's all. No matter how much I read the instructions and follow them, source from proper garden centres, read up on the best plants for the room THEY JUST KEEP ON DYING. Even a sodding cactus went to the great compost heapnin the sky. I see other people's rooms with lush plants and I'm jealous.
And yes, I do have other things to be thinking about. No, I don't have much of a life. Yes, I talk to them but th singing might have finished them off.
Grrrrrrr!

Ferns love lots of water as long as drainage good. And lots of misting

I'm the same OP. I research and buy only 'unkillable' plants - and I promptly proceed to kill them all. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, I follow the instructions.
