# My sister told me she was going to "fling" a plant that was annoying…

My sister told me she was going to "fling" a plant that was annoying her because its leaves are always crisping and turning brown in the middle of the plant. She's the indoor plant expert in my immediate family. So I jokingly chastised her for giving up. She told me next time I visit, I can have it. I visited my folks this weekend for Mother's Day, so I got the plant. Funny that I was propagating one from my mother's plant, so I have a cutting that's sitting in water. It's growing roots nicely, but I'm not ready to transplant it from water to soil yet. She also gave me a grow light, so now I have it in my bedroom on the far wall that is far away from the window. I curled up some of the longer parts of the plant and pinned them in the middle of the pot. Then I took two parts of the plant that was longer and put them on a trellis. I also fertilized it when I got her. I hope I will nurse this plant back to its happier times!
