Yeah, my mom once killed a plastic plant. We had a plant hanger on the front of our west-facing house in the low desert. My mom tried plant after plant; no matter how much she watered them, the poor things dried out, the leaves turned yellow and blew off in the next wind. So she put a plastic plant in the hanger. Yep, the leaves turned yellow and dried out and blew off in the next wind.
You’ve heard of “Green thumbs”? “Brown thumbs”? Mine is a dreaded “Black thumb” which if I do more than water, they will not only die but turn to a black goo.

try growing weeds in your yard. if they don’t survive is when you know you have a problem with plants.

I don’t want to say that I have a black thumb, but when plants see me coming, they depot themselves and run for their lives.

Sounds like me. I look at a houseplant, and it dies.

Even plastic plants will eventually dry out but water won’t help. :)
