Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the geriatric oak tree

Do plants die of old age?

My mom points out that even people don't really die of old age - they die of various ailments in old age. So is it the same for plants? What's the life expectancy for most plants, as long as we don't kill them ourselves? Do geraniums just weaken and weaken until they pass away, or would they live forever as long as we treated them well?

I wouldn't know. I am the worst plant-mommy ever. They die on purpose, just to escape my tyrannical rule.
