The plant seemed to be doing ok, until I went to water it and the leaves fell off...
Do you have a favorite low-maintenance house plant? One that can survive, even if you forget to water it? Do you think this guy* is dead?
*at the doctor's today, my three year old called his baby brother 'this guy'...as in 'this guy likes to cry a lot' ... I am never quite sure if I pick up these phrases from him, or he gets it from me.

I wouldn't think it is dead! I have that plant and it has "moulted" on me before. Give it some time and it might come back.
ReplyDeleteI have been able to keep alive a burro's tail for quite awhile now. I hope I didn't just jinx myself!

um it looks pretty dead ;). We have crazy spiky plants we got at Ikea years ago and they're still going strong. I always forget to water them (although I think my husband remembers more than me).
ReplyDeletei have no clue... i killed my succulents...
ReplyDeleteIt definitely looks like it has seen better days haha. We have an aloe plant that is very low maintenance, my husband is the green thumb in the fam. If it was up to me all of our plants would be dead as a doornail.
ReplyDeleteP.S. That's adorable what your little boy said haha, love it!

A peace lily is a pretty good choice! I have one and I constantly forget about it, but when I see it looking all sad and wilted (and maybe with some brownage where there should be greenage) I give it some water and it perks right back up!
ReplyDeleteBonsai likes clay planter for the roots to breathe. If you transplant it into one, perhaps it will come back to life?
ReplyDeleteI've tried many indoor plants but my longest lasting one is the Purple Shamrock. I think they are a bit obscure to find, I got mine originally from Home Depot years ago but I haven't seen it available since.
ReplyDeleteAlso jade plants are fairly resilient and low-maintenance.
