I keep killing cacti and succulents...
I'm reaccured that I'm not the only one haha

Yeah, I have trouble with them too. Pretty sure it's because they aren't getting enough light.

I think that's actually what my bf got himself just like two weeks ago or so as well :) (The dracaena)
That sounds promising if you've had good experiences with keeping them alive :)

I'll hopefully get a St. Bernard's lily (boy, there's a lot of names for them in english, according to wikipedia... But I absolutely refuse to use the most common one. I like the German one much better, we just call them Grünlilie = green lily) on easter, when my mom visits me. She's supposed to bring me a plantlet of my old one, which is still living at her house. I hope I'll manage to keep it alive on my desk, I'd like a bit of green here. Might be too little light, though...

Talking about plants, I have managed to keep a bougainvillea alive on my terrace for nearly a year but my morning glory is dead. I don't know anyone who managed to kill a morning glory.

My one and only succulent is doing well though.

Oh wow, that sounds impressive indeed!
I had no idea you could cut a cactus like that :o
I definitely get being worried that it won't work...

Considering the environment they live in they must be able to survive in pretty much every situation so I'm not that surprised.
