Has anybody ever "murdered" a plant?
 

I've murderd lots of weeds. I once hired a couple kids to murder some
pampas grass. The houseplants I've killed I suppose is closer to
plantslaughter since it wasn't intentional.

My local greenhouse would refer to my yearly purchase of a
fuschia hanging basket as my annual sacrifice to the plant gods.

If plants were children, the child protective services people would have
stripped my landscaping clean, shuffled all my plants off to foster
gardens, and thrown me in jail long ago.

My mother disliked 'snakeplants', but was too tenderhearted to throw
away gifts of them. So she arranged to "forget" to water it/them as
she did the rest of her houseplants. It was only recently that I
discovered sparse watering is *ideal* for snakeplants, and so they
flourished. I believe she ultimately solved the problem by giving
these prime specimens to others.

Killed yes, murdered no. I brought in my aloe plants last winter and
watered the crap out of them. They turned to mush and i threw them out
with the garbage.

Yeah, I've murdered quite a few plants in my time but every one of them was
bad and deserved to die, those damn dirty weeds.

Of course, things were different back then, with America being at war and
all.

Nobody likes committing herbicide but its something that has to be done
sometimes.

No--just plantslaughter. Mainly through overwatering. "For each man kills the
thing he loves"(Oscar Wilde, "Ballad of Redding Gaol".
