I do not have problems growing hardy plants for my zone or tender succulents. It is tropical and my house plants.
I have killed ever orchid that comes into my hands. But I buy one or two every winter. The flower last for three months. They live through the summer then about Spring of the following year they start to die and are dead before summer
Plumeria had two for five yrs never bloomed. Threatened to leave them ourside and let old man winter have his way with them. They still did not bloom the sixth year I kept my promise. So theats do not work for me.
