(FYI the flowering pics were from a year ago.) This post would be called How the Mighty Have Fallen if something didn’t suddenly occur yesterday. Here comes a new body. I have two friends who had P nelii, and they (the plants lol) all suddenly died. Have you seen a plant go from five stars to mush in a week? Leave one of these in the dark and it will happen. The one friend was convinced it was nematodes after killing two. No, that’s because you shut the blind in front of the stool I set up near your bright window before you went out of town. A sister stopped in a drew the blind while she was out ps. Family! Back to me, this goober has kept me wondering for a couple seasons if it would come back. Being a human, I did a thing I regret, which was (I don’t even want to admit it) to pluck the last part of the dead stem. It was just kind of wiggling back and forth and didn’t seem attached. I got eight months of cold shoulder from Battle Royale after that. I thought oh god, does it take five years to grow a new one, and I just destroyed progress? Seeing this split gave me some relief.

      July might be the month that a spell schedule is added to this plant’s care 🧙🏻I skipped the watering once because I legit thought it was done - and I had just heard about the aforementioned overnight mush.
