Vera is a great model
I am saddened for Vera, because I must admit I am terrible at caring for her. In the few years that she has been with me I have lost 2 other office plants to tragic untimely deaths. When Vera and her two companions (may the rest in peace) were entrusted to my care I knew little about plants. Unfortunately, no care instructions were left with the either. All three plants were alive and growing. The only blip of information I got as to caring for them was to be sure NOT to overwater. Me lacking the characteristic traits of mother nature took that to the extreme and soon it became apparent that I needed to be more careful of not UNDER-watering my dear plants.
Her brown spots have been highlighted
With the unfortunate passing of my other two plants I have decided to nurse Vera back to health *crosses figners*. For the past 3 weeks I have been sure to water her once a week. I hope that soon the depressing brown spots will fade and she will be green with life all through out her plant body. Being the sole survivor of my terrible flash course on plant care, the best thing I can do is make an attempt at giving her a real chance at life. Hopefully this intentional care with be enough to help her thrive.
If anybody has any tips they would like to share with me please do!
I've no advice. I actually can't keep plants alive either. I think I'm cursed... We spent lots of money this past summer on peony bushes, honeysuckles, and lilacs. They're all dead.
ReplyDeleteThere is one exception, however. I have an aloe plant in my bathroom that I water 4-5 times a year... and it's alive and thriving and grows very slowly. Creepy actually.
What do you do for your job?
I'm a marketing assistant/office manager (plus everything else that's not financial) at a financial advisory firm. It's a small botique firm so that's why I have the multiple titles.
ReplyDeleteI like it my boss is great and easy going and it pays. What more can I ask for! haha!
