I’m probably going overboard, but I bought more plants for the office. The old lot of plants are looking severely sad, and I mean S-A-D, the only plant that didn’t look like it was going die was the bamboo palm.

The old plants consisted of a corn plant and dracaena marginata donated by my mum, she’s not going to pleased to know that they’re both suffering. We also have a yucca just clinging onto life. It suffered from a really bad infestation of some sort of mites. The leaves were covered with white, weird smelling, powdery stuff and I just couldn’t get it cleaned up in time. It’s such a sad looking plant, I’m considering putting it out of its misery.

So anyway, since the old plants weren’t doing so well, I thought I’d spruce up the office with some new plants that are harder for me to kill. I bought a mother in law’s tongue/snake plant, a peace lily and 2 more bamboo palms. They look rather attractive clumped together.

With a little more knowledge under my sleeve, I choose these plants because they do well in low to moderate light conditions. The only one I have to watch out for is the snake plant, it might suffer from my over-zealous watering.

Which brings me to mention my new device! I got a water/pH/light/all in one meter! I couldn’t believe it, for under $20 from Waldecks I got this fantastic little tool, and it’s so easy to use!

Oh, and I also got a little froggie ornament. He sits on the edge of the peace lily pot.
