Not so Green Thumb

In all my years, I have never been able to keep plants alive. When I saw the “furnished apartment” we were to live in I knew we needed some greenery. Fortunately we had a friend that chose to give his plants to me. I warned him I have never had a green thumb and while I am making confessions, let me just say I have never considered myself to be very domesticated.
These plants must live. I have raised two kids certainly I can keep a couple of plants alive. Who could screw that up? As a child, my parents constantly asked my siblings and I, “Do you think money grows on trees?“ I have a money tree…..I am still waiting for it to produce the fruit (money). I have actually been very good about watering it. The other plants that I have are bamboo and they are very interesting looking. Fortunately the bamboo just sits in water. When the water line falls below a certain area, hey add more water. The money tree sits in soil. I have a lid to one of my dishes underneath of it and when the water gets low, hey add more water. I have been doing great with it and I love the plants. I feel like there is a little extra oxygen in the living room.
I am posting picks of my plants for those of you that can appreciate what I am talking about.

Cute huh?
