It was so infested with bugs that it killed every other plant in the house. Somewhat fitting I guess.....it was a gift basket on the occasion of my Mom passing away.

I think the worst gifts have been an ongoing series of crudely painted ceramic figures that we can't part with because she'd be crushed, but they're NOTHING we're interested in. We've tried politely telling her, but without any luck.Heatherhttp://hbheinzer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408200542344140440.post-65294724256503006522014-06-25T08:53:48.728-06:002014-06-25T08:53:48.728-06:00Bwahahahaha!

I have a suggestion if it does die just replace it with a slightly bigger version and just tell them to look how much it has grown! I'm still stuck on the fact that you have a college age child!

I do love house plants and have had several lucky bamboo plants through- out many years ( LOL maybe not so lucky); anyway the truth is they do die ....
