My Green Thumb

My Green Thumb Whenever I bought a plant and tried To keep it watered and well fed The plant just shrivelled up and died Now all the plants I have are dead. I gave them light or lots of shade Did everything I was told Talked to them when they seemed to fade Kept them free from bugs and mould. I babied them and gave them drops The best earth is what I used Made sure their roots had spacious pots But they died, I’m so confused. Well, nothing seems to work for me A green thumb I can’t make So if I want a plant or tree I guess it will be fake.
