I had orchids for quite a few years but they got a fungus and died too. <br />My mother in law had a philodendron that she got as a wedding gift in a planter and kept it alive for over 50 years, when she passed no one wanted the plant and I took it, big mistake, it died shortly after. I no longer buy houseplants because I'm the kiss of death to them! <br /><br />I love your bedroom alcove!!! What a great spot for your plants.

She has always been able to grow them and I did not get that gene for sure. I think you are right about lighting, it is Key to growing plants successfully.
