Staff, Mods, I don’t know if this is in the right section or not….
I bought this Areca palm back in 2000. Areca palms are on the very top of removing chemicals from the air, etc. very good houseplant to have. When I bought it, it was only 7 inches tall. It has survived many…S. La winters. A few nights when, below freezing, it was outside. But until 5 years ago, it was outside 24/7 unless the temp dropped below 32. It is indoor only now. I started out with 8 plants. She….is the last one. You read that right. She. I’m telling you, this plant talks to me. I sense the plant as a female vibration for whatever reason. She tells me when she needs water…..She loves to be out in rainstorms. She will ask to put her out in them. Sometimes she doesn’t. I swear I can put my finger on her leaves and feel happiness and gratitude to me, for caring for her all these years. I’m happy to report she is now a full 48 inches tall! I’ve said many times, if I’m ever homeless, all I need is one particular guitar, my dirt bike and this plant!
Yesterday, I bought a new fern from Home Depot. I joked last night about it yelling at me and causing a scene. While this story is quite… embellished for the laughs, the main order of events did in fact, happen. When I put this plant down and started to walk out with another, this fern was unhappy. Even offended. I don’t know, if it knew, I could feel it but, I did. That’s how I knew… it was the right one. I’ve included pics of both.
