"I bought a cactus. A week later it died. And I got depressed, because I thought, Damn. I am less nurturing than a desert."
-Demetri Martin
You joke, but this happened to me. And worse: it was a gift, and she asked how it was doing.
The one thing a desert has that plants need and that's in short supply in most homes is sunlight. We're basically living in caves and desert plants are definitely not well-adapted for low-light-conditions (in contrast to forest plants).
