Dying, Help Me…

I found this Lucky Bamboo on my desk at work yesterday morning with a note that read “Dying, help me…”

I had one of those dying plants. I cut off all the stems et voila! Back from the dead! Its leaves are a little pale, though, because I don’t think it gets quite enough light where I have it.

  I have 6 or them now, because 5 coworkers either could not take care of theirs or quit. (We all got one when we moved to our new building.)
  
  I do the same thing… I also pinch the side shoots out and place that in water… I think of it as practice for pinching side shoots from Coleus. :)

hehe… someone knows you too well. The plant reviver!

I never could keep those bamboo things going for long. Not sure why.

  Really?… Someone told me that if you can’t keep the lucky bamboo alive, you can’t keep any plant alive… I guess you prove them wrong…

    Heh.. well that was before my days of obsessive gardening, so maybe I’d do much better now if I tried one. I keep thinking of grabbing one when I see them and then I end up finding something else I like more and walking out with that instead! haha…
