Plants Don't Like Us


Alright. I don't know what the problem is but Nikki and I are convinced that plants just don't like us or something!. We first bought a plant from Walmart. It looked great but within a few days started losing it's leaves. We didn't do anything drastic, just placed it so it would get some sun but certainly not too much. I watered it once because the soil was dry. Why did it die!


But the kicker was the next poor plant to find itself in our grasp. After seeing that the Walmart plant was pretty much gone we picked up a really nice plant at Ikea. Everything looked good for a few days. A few leaves fell off but nothing seem abnormal. So off we go to Princeton to have dinner with a friend. Little did we know what awaited us at home!


When we walked into the house i saw our plant and it was like a crime scene. It was so shocking we briefly wondered if some mischievous kid walked in and did it! Every single leaf had fallen off the plant!! It was like it got frightened to death or something!


What is up with these plants!! The picture is of the crime scene we walk in on.

I might suggest buying from a nursery instead of a WalMart or IKEA (and no, it's not just because I loath WalMart). The plants are generally healthier.

Hmm good idea!
