Have you ever heard of the expression ‘Green Fingers’, if you haven’t here is a quickie run down. It’s those few people blessed with the powers of nurturing and caring for a plant and it goes making it look so easy that when you try (aka me) it does within a matter of days. I am certainly not and probably never will be a green fingers person. My mother she is one of those blessed few, she has managed to grow veggies in the UK that only grow in the Southern African climate. I tried and the damn things didn’t even bother to leave the ground they just stayed a damn shame I say…(crying inside).
When I was contacted a few weeks back to collaborate with a Fix I was more than thrilled since I have been buying all of these plants to no avail. I read through the infographics and knew instantly where I was going wrong and what kind of flowers I should be buying – cast-iron plants since they can withstand so much neglect and does not require me to do much I knew I had hit jackpot. This infographic is so informative that a novice like me is very fond of it and willing to trying my hands at keeping a plant alive and earning my green fingers.
Have a read through the infographic and choose the kind of plants you think you can manage.

This is a great info graphic. I don’t have a green thumb so anything I touch dies! haha My mom is very much into her plants so I think I shall pass this information along to her. She has them all over her house! Thank you so much for sharing!

I honestly think that I have black fingers not green fingers as I have gotten older. Living in Washington we get zero sunlight and every plant we have gotten for inside hasn’t lived. This is a great diagram of plants to grow inside, I hope someday to be able to grow them successfully.

I also struggle with keeping house plants alive. I don’t know what it is, but I just can’t seem to keep them looking nice! I haven’t ever head of Fix, but I love the idea! I’m going to check them out!

I didn’t know that more light led to color variations. I’ll have to investigate that one! Plants don’t usually thrive in my care. I usually take them to near death and then pull them back with a little care. Then they die on me.

Info graphics are the coolest thing ever! I’m the worst person to take care of a plant. I can kill a cactus, it’s that seriously, lol. This gives me a bit of hope though, maybe I will try small after we move.

I really enjoy houseplants. Great infographic, btw! Currently I have a Spider plant and a Jade going strong. I also love Christmas Cactuses. They grow well for me.

Such a useful infographic. Somehow my lovely plants keep dying, so I should use the guide next time! x

My mom is the exact same way! She has this one spider plant that she has literally cloned almost 100 times through clippings from the original. Me? I can’t keep a cactus alive if I tried 🙁

I need this, I definitely don’t have a green thumb because regardless to how big or small They die on me. I’m fascinated by the fact that your mom can grow plants meant for other climates. She’s good!

I am so useless with houseplants – I literally kill them by looking at them it seems!
