Buying a plant feels like winning a tiny lottery. You’ve picked a lush green beauty, imagined it thriving on your patio, and envisioned the compliments rolling in from your friends. But then… it wilts, browns, or mysteriously vanishes within a week. Suddenly, that once-proud greenery becomes a money pit, and your dreams of being a master gardener feel like a cruel joke.
The truth is, not every plant is made for every climate, and understanding your local conditions can be the difference between a garden of glory and a basket of regrets.
