Can You Keep a Houseplant Alive for Six Months?
There are three types of people out there: Those who can take care of houseplants . . . those who will kill houseplants . . . and those who will kill houseplants immediately!
A new poll asked Americans if they could keep a houseplant alive for at least six months, and 33% of people are confident they could. Another 33% said that they probably could.
10% said there’s NO CHANCE it lasts six months . . . and another 14% said it’s “not very likely.”
When asked if they have a “green thumb,” only 13% of people are confident that they do. Another 22% are working at it. 59% of people don’t have a green thumb.
33% of people say they have ZERO houseplants. 29% have a few, and 17% of people have seven or more, which is quite a commitment. 4% of people couldn’t say how many houseplants they have, so they’re probably dead.
