Do you talk to your plants?
If so, then I guess that you're the kind of person that likes to dominate conversations.

Just an observation.

1. Yes I do
And I do like to dominate the conversation, because I hate it when they talk back.

3. I give encouragement to my plants as I'm watering them
both of them were near death at one point, so I got used to encouraging them to hang on as I watered them.

12. My plants are losers
I scream at them daily. Sometimes hourly. hee

Actually, I'm having a little trouble with one of my banana plants. It's about 10 years old and is dropping leaves every other day. It's getting food and sunlight but it just seems like it's just giving up. Do you have any advice?
Thanks in advance.
