Needy plant
This plant needs more attention than any animal pet I have ever owned.
Seven hours ago it’s all, “oh I’m wilting, oh help me.”
Then I give it some water, and six hours later it’s much improved.
And then another hour later it’s in perfect condition again.
It was the same thing yesterday. And it will probably be the same thing tomorrow.
The person who gave it to me said it only needs water once a week. Thanks, Katsuyo-san!
It’s like the person who gave me my dog, Tao, so many years ago and promised, “Don’t worry he won’t even grow to be twice the size.”
I think what it REALLY needs is a much larger pot. The soil in a larger pot will be able to retain much more water.
That’s what several people have told me so far. I guess it’s off to the 100 yen shop gardening corner today.
