More like a long but tormented life of barely subsisting on the smallest amounts of water possible.
Death is too sweet and quick for my houseplants :)

I was gonna say something like "me adopting cats", but you already topped it.

Plants call her the green widow.

My family offered to give me plants for my apartment. I said please no. It's too much responsibility and I'll know I'll forget.

I prefer dogs. They at least can bark when they need something. Plants don't.

Lol yeah. My cat will never let me forget to feed her. But I've killed so many plants. If I'm late with feeding my cat, I feel really bad about it. When the plants die because I thought I'd give gardening another go, I kinda just... don't feel anything.

I mean, if you give this a long enough timeframe (decades) then this also applies to when you meet your future spouse at the bar.

I mean this applies to pets too

Tendency to overwater (non-chlorinated) and little sun - lucky bamboo

Your first issue is that those are outdoor plants. They probably need 6-8 hours of direct sun.

Is this AI?

Came back? The lady goes shopping with her own plants?
