I'm still scared of killing all my plants. How do I get over it?

[astrid]

Hey everyone!

So, I've been growing orchids for a year and a half and I am still scared of killing my plants all the time! The only way I can deal with it is by pretending to myself that I am ambivalent when really I am not. I have about 25 plants now, and I am the most scared of killing my paph niveum hybrid and my dracula lotax seedling and so on.

Thoughts I have about killing orchids:

"OH MY GOD THIS VIDEO IS SHOWING GETTING WATER ON THE LEAF THE WHOLE PLANT WILL ROT TO DEATH IN 1 HOUR!!!"

and

"OH MY GOD THE PSEUDOBULB IS SLIGHTLY WRINKLED ALL THE ROOTS MUST BE DEAD!!"

and

"OH MY GOD MY PHALAENOPSIS ISN'T PUTTING OUT A NEW LEAF EVERY WEEK AND IT IS GROWING SEASON AND SO IT MUST BE DYING!!!"

and

"OH MY GOD IF I LET THIS WATER-NEEDY ORCHID DRY OUT FOR ONE DAY IT WILL JUST TURN YELLOW AND SHRIVEL UP LIKE A CUTE LITTLE GRANDMA!"

So guys, I am sure at least a few of you also panic about your plants. There's a reason we call them our "chids!!"

But what I am hoping you guys will do here is (1) commiserate with me or (2) give some sage wisdom as to how you overcame this orchid-terror. If I worry this much about plants just imagine if I had kids! haha

Any words?

Edit: Guys!! I have already killed 2 or 3, but I still stress out about it, haha
