At had kind of not been ok, and I thought a green comrade in his dorm space might be nice for him, so I gave him a potted dracena on his 'Boss Day.' At the last moment, I stuck a fake succulent stem in there too.
Yesterday, he texted to ask about its watering schedule--and while he was watering it...
At: This succulent is fake. lol
Me: I promised you you could keep all this alive. I wanted you to feel good about yourself!
At: Love you lol
Me: Love you <3
At: How often should I water the real plants?
(The picture is a real succulent L gave me last year... I'm bad with succulents, actually--I overwater, and they have no restraint and drink everything and then individual leaves get too heavy and plop off...)
