We gave the plant a nickname, bought Precious its own rolling plant stand, and invited its little houseplant friends over for play dates so it wouldnвЂ™t get lonely (or вЂњfreaked outвЂќ). Maybe this should have been the first clue that a needy houseplant was not the best fit for a negligent household where the Tillandsias have been known to resort to crawling to the sink to turn on the faucet themselves after a few weeks without water.Д«ut everything went well forвЂ¦oh, about four months. I did everything I could think of to please this West African lowlands native: I found it a nice spot in indirect sun let its soil dry out between waterings, and kept it in a tight pot so the roots wouldnвЂ™t, in the words of Green Jeans owner Kevin Sadlier, вЂњget freaked out.вЂќ A few months ago I fell in love with a four-foot fiddle-leaf fig tree at Green Jeans Garden Supply in Mill Valley, California, my favorite local plant store, brought it home on a whim, and vowed to care for it properly. Maybe I should explain how the fig and I got into this desperate situation. Otherwise my fiddle-leaf fig tree would be writing a post for its blog right now, begging for help: вЂњGet me out of here, sheвЂ™s trying to kill me.вЂќ As it is, the tree is looking at me accusingly as it drops yet another browned and dried leaf onto the floor. I suppose it is a good thing that houseplants donвЂ™t have hands because it means they canвЂ™t type. Icon - Check Mark A check mark for checkbox buttons.
