Seriously, I had a roommate that left one here, and I found it six months later, outside of its pot, lying on its side. Yes, it is still alive. No, it did not have water any of those six months. Now it's got this funky bend in it, though.

Most time, I'm just trying to prevent my cats from destroying it.

My best friend managed to kill her cactus by overwatering it lol

Well...
I was under the impression that most here forget the watering.

Being loved to death is another way to go.

These are pretty sturdy, for sure.

One plant I killed was a mamey sapote, and another a blood orange. Both were plants that I grew from fruit that I ate. It was a bummer since I'd had both for over a year.
