Soak the hoya, trim the lemon, and pull the shades down to spare the tender goldfish plant. There will be no celebrating, for we’ve lost the mystery plant.
Five
days ago, I shared the story of the mystery plant start I found in a bucket of
soil in a dark corner of my garage. Hoping I might nurse it along in a friendly
cup of soil, at least long enough to see if it was friend or foe, I prepped a
cup and planted the start inside.
Sadly,
the plant withered and perished, leaving behind a bleak cup of nothing but
moist dirt.
So
lightly water the orchids. Place the lime in direct light. Give the cat palm an
extra sip tonight.
