A Green Thumbs-Up For This Bad Boy

English to Romanian Other Agriculture
I need help with one of my projects, translating "A Green Thumbs-Up For This Bad Boy". It is used as a title.
The context starts with this phrase: "Someone was really happy sharing a photo of their first-ever house plant that turned 5 about two months ago. The plant's name is Fred, and it got its first flower this year. We just think that we should have pet names for our plants."

Thank you very much!!!

Nu mă pot gândi decât la "pe ce pune mâna, crește". Dar aș merge pe transcrearea acestui titlu.
Florina Iute (asker) Mar 24, 2023:
Știu că este o idiomă din America, dar nu știun cum să o traduc in titlu să aibă un sens.

From Google search: a green thumb
idiom
Def: the ability to make plants grow and be healthy:
Ex: My sister has a green thumb, but I kill most plants that I buy.
