From Jon VanZile:

I still remember the first plant I killed. It was a gift from my wife, celebrating the birth of our first child. Even though the plant was a supposedly indestructible pothos vine, it was dead within a few months. I think I probably loved it to death. Now I write professionally about plants, and hopefully, I can help you avoid some of the same mistakes I made.
