My Plant Care Perspective

I really don't know anything about plants. I've overwatered plants to death, let them freeze outside all winter, and left them unattended for 2 weeks at a time. My philosophy is like this: I pay attention to them only when I notice that they're on the verge of death: brown leaves, drooping stems, black thingies, etc. Then I water them and watch them come back to life. It makes me feel like I have super powers, bringing plants back from near-death. I have laid my hands on my plants and my healing power has restored thee! I am their savior!
