I and my mum plants die a lot (succulent and Cactus) my mum says my sister house plant dies easy. I am not sure if it is an autistic thing, my mum and sister don't have it.
All my house plants are dying including the new cheese plant I got and I'm sad about it. It says you need fertiliser but no idea how it all works it looks so confusing when you look it all up.
My brain is going in overload and feels exhausted with it. Does anyone else get confused with this sort of thing?
I wish I did not have learning difficulties and just function a bit more like normal.
Labelling the plants might help. Eg, when to water. Cactus and succulents need very little water so if they are not doing well maybe overwatering could be the cause. My sister and I both had cactus as kids and I forgot to water mine whereas she carefully watered often. Hers went yellow and mouldy from too much water and mine ended up having mini growth spurts to show they needed more water.The 2 main things with house plants are how often for watering and how much light they need. Try going one plant at a time for awhile so that you can get an idea of a plant at a time and then each extra plant will be less overwhelming :)I wouldn't bother with fertiliser over winter months.
