mourning...

[silversolitaire]

I know I'm silly... but right now I'm crying because my Ficus Benjamini is dead. My nice plant... I've had him for 4 years now... always watering him, caring for him, decorating him with nice things, hoping he'd become pretty one day. Then, two weeks ago, I forgot to close the window when airing my room. It got terribly cold. Eddy never recovered from it... Now my mom said she tossed him out. Didn't even ask me. I feel like crying... I always hoped he'd be big and pretty one day. And now he's dead and it's my fault....

awwwwwww *hugs*
that's terrible. and i know because i used to have this weird hobby.... i'd go to the supermarket and buy all the little plants that were reduced to 10p or something, that looked really really sick, then i'd bring them home and try to nurse them back to health. and sometimes it worked, and sometimes... it didn't....

i got really attached to some of them and i had this little one that was only one leaf when i got it and it grew really nice until one day when it just drooped..... and i was really getting too attached to my plants and sometimes they were beyond recovery and i always got upset, so i had to give up that hobby because it was upsetting me too much. so now i just have a dracaena (madagascan dragon tree) and a yucca. they're both nice and big and healthy. and i dust them regularly so they get good gas exhange at their leaves....

god i sound so geeky!!!

That's horrible... I'm so sorry that your plant died... >_< I had this Venus Fly Trap a few months ago that I got very, very attached to. I named him Venni and... Ugh I was an idiot because I let my sister water him for a few adays when I went to Disney world (Forced by my parents; I hate the place) and she didn't use the distilled water I'd asked her to because she DIDN'T LOOK FOR IT. I was *so* angry. And Venni died, of course. >_< Ugh.
