I'm one of those people who develop passions, and then when I am done with them, I am done - usually in about 10 year cycles. I have a lot of potted plants in my clinic office that do well, but often don't look that good cosmetically because I don't have time to groom them. I have a very large peace lily that I have had for going on 16 years that is actually quite healthy and thriving, but only a plant person would know that, because of the lack of grooming.
25 to 30 years ago, I had a house full of wonderful plants. I loved the feel of them in the place. One very cold winter, my furnace went out for several days when the temps were in the teens and below. I lost nearly everything, including a relatively large number of large succulents I had acquired or rooted over a 15 year period, I brought back to lifethe few that I could, and replaced others. 2 years later, the same thing happened. After that, I largely lost interest in having lots of houseplants. I think I just didn't want the heartbreak of losing so many living things again. Now all I have indoors at home is a Christmas cactus.
