A Day Late

I came to work this morning to find the plant I keep next to my monitor wilting. I’m not sure what the cause is. I’ve had it for nearly 5 months now and it’s been doing great. I water it once a week and that seemed to be just fine.

About 2 weeks ago I moved cubicles. I moved from a small one with no source of natural light to a larger one with a window (well…a window well, but it’s better than nothing). I was rather pleased with the transition but I’m beginning to wonder if the plant didn’t/doesn’t share my enthusiasm. It’s a little perplexing, I thought the natural light would have done it some good.

Well…I decided to give it a good dose of water this morning and try and keep it near some bright light for a few days and see if it improves. If not I may have to break down and drive to the store to get some miracle grow or something. If worse comes to worse I might have to return it to my old desk (affectionately known as “solitary”). It’s really a matter of pride, I can’t let this damn thing die! When you work in a basement it’s nice to have a little greenery around. Incidentally I also have a small bonzai tree like plant that seems to be doing just fine on the other side of my monitor. Like I said, perplexing.
