House Plant Conundrum

Houseplants reproach me,
and show drooping stems
and mottled leaves.
Death cannot be tolerated
Even at this level.
But then again, 
I'm far too lazy to do anything about it.
Conundrum.

Cute one..Those plants need our attention to continue to be healthy..Sometimes just a little attention and taking in our carbon dioxide is all they need..Thanks for stopping by..Sara

With you on this. I try one or two things but end up over watering or under watering. In the end I chop up a fresh green salad in front of them as a warning. They have improved tremendously. Nice rhyme, no conundrum though, chuck them out and buy new Ha Ha. Kind regards Ian

Lol. That is a fantastic line--chop up a salad, still lol.
