I Do Not Have Green Fingers

I am not a gardener. Far from it.

I have this tree inside, it’s an indoor plant I’m sure of it. But like I said I’m no expert. The parents came by a weekend or two back and over tea and conversation my mum suggested I put the tree outside for some light and re-pot it.

Well I put it outside and it seemed ok. I haven’t had the chance to re-pot it mind you.

I brought it back in the other day because it was raining heavily, or threatening to at least. The next day I noticed it - all the leaves on the floor. My tree was dying! I hadn’t even done anything to it!

That’s the last time I listen to mum about plants, even given how green-thumbed she is…

Sudden changes in temperature will do that.

It can? That badly? It wasn’t like it was freezing inside the house and a tropical atmosphere outside though…

Either that or a Tom-Cat pissed in the pot? :p

Bad Breath?

I just thought the temperature would explain it. Usually from warm to cold does it.

Hmm that’s probably more likely (the tom-cat).

Good news though, there are some new leaves growing on it, so I believe it will survive. I’ll trim it up a bit and re-pot it this weekend, and give it some plant food.
