Rest in Peace, snake plant.
I have tried over and over to keep plants that are NOT supposed to die! I buy them explicitly because they are so very hardy and can take neglect. I think the real problem is that plants are not like other pets, such as a cat, dog, or rock. Cats and dogs will let you know when they are not feeling loved- or fed for that matter. The pet rock- well, its not alive so I can't kill it. I think my problem is that i forget to water for awhile, and then I over water to compensate for my lack of attention. Neither of these things are good for plants. I was going to give my plant over to a friend who is fantastic with plants to see if it could be saved near the end, but didn't have time to deliver it before i left on vacation so that sealed its fate. I still have one bamboo stalk that is turning yellowish instead of the vibrant green it is supposed to be. I am optimistic yet. I cannot help myself. I hope against hope that I can keep this one stick alive. However, I think the jury is finally in... I should invest in plastic plants.
