I like plants, and people say I have a green thumb. I think its's just a matter of consistency in taking care of the plants. Watering, fertilizing if needed and sometimes I go to the extent of talking to them. I ask my orchids to bear flowers and they do.
I find it relaxing to just sit down and look at my plants.
How about you?

Maybe i'm including people with cold hands, where plants that i planted will grow and maintain good....At home I keep orchids and anthuriums. All the plants that i care since childhood and now they've grown big, green and flowering.....

I have a brown thumb. lol I cannot keep plants alive. I kill almost every plant that comes in my house. Even the ones that are kinda hard to kill. My mom is like that too so I guess I get it from her. She used to kill plants and then my grandpa would take them when he was alive and bring them back to life. He had a very green thumb. :-)

I should say that I am a greenthumb. I can make plants grow even if I don't put fertilizers on it. Loving a plant and enjoying planting can really help in making plants grow.
Have a good day gardening and planting.

I think I can say that I am a green thumb person. I love gardening ever since I was a child. I once bought a dying phalaenopsis (butterfly) orchid baby. It looked so terrible with the roots almost rotten. I don't know why I chose a dying plant, I just felt challenged. In two weeks the orchid was in so much better condition.

Hello manong. I do not have a green thumb because some of the plants we bought this summer are dying though we water them every day. It cost us a lot to buy them. I wish them to come back to life next spring.

Me too, have a green thumb. Whatever I plant, they'll grow really good. But now I can; plant anymore, because all around m y house had been plastered with cement by my dad. Furthermore I have mo time to do gardening activity anymore because of work commitment.
