This guy...
is continually over-watered, under-watered (like the time I was in China for 2 weeks and left it home to die), or forgotten beside a window with the curtains drawn. (Cruel, I know. It's close enough to reach out a branch and push aside the curtain itself. But independent movement's a real bitch.) Yet despite its continued mistreatment (Cochino also used to gnaw on it), it thrives.
I really should take better care of it. But maybe it wouldn't like being pampered?
