Hundreds for a variety of reasons.
1. Neglect in varying degrees for whatever reasons.
2. Plants that have contracted disease.
3. Plants damaged during shipment.
4. Not enough knowledge, information, or experience regarding a particular plant or group of plants. Which leads to inappropriate cultural practices, strategies, and techniques for the plant or group of plants in question.
5. Plants may be less tolerable of mistakes or have a narrow range of tolerances.
The important thing is that at least I learned the limits of my plants and my abilities as a grower. I also learned what it takes to get the job done.
