I am one of those people that just shouldn't have plants. I don't really have a green thumb and even the most durable plants (I love spider plants) can't go without water for long. I finally threw out the last of my houseplants when I realized I was just kidding myself if I thought I should have plants in the house.....I even banned Christmas poinsettia plants.....after the holidays were done I could hear them screaming for water and attention before they died.
