Day Unknown - Success

 Since I got cast out of my office into a cube I have been at a loss with what to do with it. I had this one plant in the before-times that never seemed to grow in the almost 3 years I have been here at the Company. But there's this engineer in the other building that has a plant that grows with no sunlight, only office fluorescent, and it wraps around all the four walls of his office. So I asked him to give me a clipping. I saw online you are supposed to propagate these things in water for a few weeks, and once the little roots pop out, you can plant them in actual dirt. 

This one has a little sprout of a root now, but I am going to wait another week because my guy said to wait until they get a longer, an inch or more, that way they will really take when you put them in soil. These days, I am a bit of a plant in water too, waiting for dirt I can plow into and make something of myself. I am in a transition, having become disillusioned with the people I work for and in a search for a career more meaningful, or if not, just more satisfying than the one I have now. Funny how an incompetent manager will do that to you.

This is the first set of sprouts I got planted. They were from a wilted/dying plant we had at the house. I think the beefy super-plant from the other office is going to outgrow these, but we'll see what happens later. Thunderdome in the Potted Plant! Stay tuned.

 

Day 8

 I can’t tell if they are growing. No sprouts have started off the cut pieces but we are talking about plants here. They have a different timeline. 

Maybe since we were gone for 3 day weekend nothing happened. 

Day 4

 This new plant is gonna take off. The other ones already look like death. 

Day 3

 The newcomer is from a plant in my buddy Rich’s office in Engineering. He has this crazy plant wraps all around the room and it’s super healthy. I figure I would see what it did compared to my sickly cuttings and may the best plant win. 

Day 2

 Still healthy.
