During my hiatus from blogging, I took up a grandma hobby- plants. I was never that into having plants, mainly because of the upkeep required, but also because I've never lived on my own before. Not sure why that was a factor in my decision not to own plants, but now that I live alone, I am all about making my little home pretty. Not to mention, plants can purify the air and collect dust entering the home.
So, last weekend, I set out to Shanghai's flower market to buy me some plants. I ended up getting three plants and one flower for my wine bottle vase (so nifty I know). I'm not sure what two of the plants are called in English, but the other one is mint. Aren't they awesome?
But wait, this is actually a sad story. The guy at the market told me that these plants need to be watered everyday. Being a total noob, I followed his instructions religiously and watered them a lot every morning. I was so proud of myself for remembering. Things were going well for about 5 days, and then out of nowhere two of them died. I think I drowned them in too much water. So sad. Now I am just trying to keep the last one alive.
Fingers crossed xx
I want pictures of the corpses of the murdered plants.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry, but you can't possibly have killed the mint?? That's the easiest plant to keep besides the cactus....hell even I managed to keep them alive, when I was 8! And I killed a lot of living things...
ReplyDeleteThe mint is dead.
