I find it incredibly frustrating.
Some plants will die right away so at least it’s a fast failure.
But others will be ok for quite a while, several months or even a year or two. And then they’ll start yellowing, losing leaves, whatever, and eventually die.
Even plants that are supposedly hardy, like ivy.
I absolutely hate growing plants, and it actually makes me angry to see them fail. Even though I love an interior with plants, I’m actually feeling better if I never tried to have the plant than if I did and it inevitably dies.
Luckily, I live in nature and can open the windows instead, my surroundings being a forest.

The yellowing leaves suggest you might be watering the plants too much. This seems to be among the more common issues with houseplants.

I'm not an expert but to me this suggests at least two possibilities:
1) Were you feeding them at all? Maybe they were just running out of nutrients.
2) Something environmental in your area, bad water or radon or something.
Among other things I've got five little macadamia trees, three Torrey pine trees, two carob trees that just sprouted, and a sequoiadendron giganteum seedling about an inch tall. (It's funny to me that the Giant Sequoia seeds are tiny, smaller than a grain of rice, yet the tree grows to be so huge.)
It's fun and fascinating to watch them sprout and grow.
(FWIW, I really like J.L. Hudson for seeds: https://jlhudsonseeds.net/index.html They have all kinds of plants from all over the world, really good prices and quality, and I like their attitude.)
