That kind of explains why I can't keep plants alive... I'm traumatizing them so bad they want death.

For 90% of people it’s watering issues. Mostly overwatering.

Ya, usually I either overwater or forget about it entirely for extended periods of time.

That's why I have mainly plastic plants now. Much less fussy.

Drip feeders can in fact be excellent. Unless you’re already the kind of person who will forget about those as well.
