In my attempt to test if I have a green thumb I bought a plant a month ago. It is called "Calandiva Kalancheos". This is how it looks like...
I was told that I should only water it once a week. And since it is an indoor plants there is no need to put it outside. But being the pasaway that I am, when I saw that the soil was already dry I water it. So, instead of once a week I ended up watering it thrice a week. I thought if I pampered the plants more it will bloom lots of flowers and will not die on me. But I was wrong... After a week, my plant is slowly dying. The flowers and leaves are all withering. It is true... Too much love can kill. And it makes me sad that I am the one who is killing my plant. If I want my plant to live I should give it the right amount of water and sun. If I want more flowers to bloom I should give it the proper attention. I can't help but compare it to our relationship to our loved ones. Maybe sometimes we are also to blame if someone walked out on us. Maybe it is also our fault if our partners' love died away. It's either we love them too much or we love them too less. And maybe it is too late now to save that love. But it does not mean that we won't be given a chance to love again. To take care of someone.
I don't know if I can save my plant from its dreadful fate. But it does not mean that I will not try again. I bought two new plants today. One is another Pink Calandiva Kalanchoe.
The second one is this plant which I have yet to find out its name.
I will give my green thumb another chance and this time I will follow the guy's advise in the store where I bought these plants. I also search the net to find out how to take care of the Calandiva. I'm sharing the link below so it can help you too, just in case you happen to be taking care of one or if you intend to. :)
