I know nothing about plants, other than that I’ve learnt that they die if I try to take care of them. So I leave them alone and they look after themselves. I’ve been ignoring this plant for a year. I don’t know what it is or what it does. The other day, I noticed a weird little mismatched shoot. It keeps growing, more and more overnight, like Jack’s Beanstalk, up and up and up. I think unfurling may happen. I am not even embarrassed about how exciting I find this.
@nxskok That sounds like it's going fine, nice work!
"trying to remember to water periodically, but not too often' - it was this balance that drove me bananas when I first got plants. Everyone who has thriving plants told me 'oh, just don't give them too little water, or too much water' as if that helped.
@CiaraNi my daughter (who is much better with plants) tells me that for this particular one, if the soil is actually dry, it needs watering, but if there is any moisture in the soil, not yet. That much, I can remember.
I also have a snake plant, which seems to thrive on benign neglect.
