Trying to Be Green Fingers

I do not have green fingers. I knew this since years back. Meddling with dirt doesn't excite. Our family had attempted to buy several potted plants over the years, much to my reluctance. We easily killed them all. I hated it when the kids had to grow bean spouts. The sight of roots and cotton wood tangling in a mess repulse me. Lil Shauna's school assignment to grow 小白菜 failed so miserably that they never went past the seedling stage. Lil Shauna asked me why and what else she could do. Sorry, I really cannot help you or the 菜.

The green things do look good in brightening up the space. They look so pretty on our shelf.

By the way, if you haven't guessed, the 1st row are fake plants from IKEA. I even asked Daddy Lim to help me pick the most real looking ones. 

We has been chatting about whose Terrarium would die 1st. The fear and pressure are real in being the 1st murderer. I have no doubt that I have high chances but do hope (with the tiniest hope) that it wouldn't be me. Ever since we got them, I have watered them once with just a little water. The aunties had advised again and again that the succulent thrives when neglected. Just dont care about them. 

I has been struggling. I didn't want the kill the Terrariums due to underwatering. However, looking at the plants, I have no idea if it is time to water again. 

This is the closed Terrarium. The staff said that watering is needed when the moss starts to brown. Is this browning? I thought it looks brown but the aunties say not. Haiz, I no longer know what is browning then.

Then, there is the open Terrarium with the succulent. 

There is this petal that looks funny. I was still thinking that it is drying up but the aunties told me that it is symptoms of overwatering. Huh? How?

Auntie TL then showed me how she dried up her succulents that were accidentally overwatered and sent me a video to watch. I have to dig out the succulent, remove the soil, peeled off the affected petal and leave to dry.

Zzzzzzzz... so much work. No way do I want to touch the soil and plant.

Dear Succulent, sorry, your fate is sealed. I will attempt to go sun you. That is the best I can do for you. Pls do not demand more of me.
