The trick is to get a lot of different kinds of plants. That way if 90% dies you know what 10% of plants fit your style of neglect. Buy more of those once you find out.
also a plant going limp like that is usually just it running out of water. give it some. don't drown it.
Guess I got lucky and the first ones I chose were right. I tend to over watering my plants which isn't a problem for carnivorous plants because they need their soil to be constantly wet.

Me just throwing seeds into the back garden and seeing what survives
You know, I am somewhat of a gardener myself.
If nature can do it that way, then why shouldn't we?
