Cutecat78 · 15/07/2016 20:35

Plant - I forgot to water my colleagues plant while she was on leave.

This is a blatent not AIBU. Apologies.

I brought it home and thought it might "come back to life".

It hasn't

She asked as soon as she got back where it was - she's quite attached to it.

ARGH please identify it so I can replace it?!

TIA

Say it was stolen

Cutecat78 · 15/07/2016 20:37

I have told an elaborate lie which I further embellished today

Yep - that's dead.

ALemonyPea · 15/07/2016 20:39

Could it fall out the window?

stillstandingatthebusstop · 15/07/2016 20:40

A job well done

SoleBizzz · 15/07/2016 20:40

Maybe it was dead when she gave it to you and wanted to pull your leg

ArmySal · 15/07/2016 20:40

Murderer

It's so dead I haven't a clue what it is. I mean was.

SoleBizzz · 15/07/2016 20:43

Take it a garden centre

Cutecat78 · 15/07/2016 20:45

And ask for one the same - but not dead?

Thats not dead. Its just in need of a holiday of its own.

Fresh topup of compost, light trim, warm sunny but not too bright windowcill, time!

I buy all the unloved 10p plants at Homebase/ B&Q and nurture them.

NeedMoreSleepOrSugar · 15/07/2016 20:47

It's very dead! I think it might have been a nerve plant though? nerve plant

NeedMoreSleepOrSugar · 15/07/2016 20:48

X post with flouncy who's clearly a much better gardener than me

Pendu · 15/07/2016 20:49

Looks like something out of Harry Potter

Cutecat78 · 15/07/2016 20:52

I am not sure if it's a nerve plant

It does look similar.

greathat · 15/07/2016 20:54

the veiny bit at the front looks like a pitcher plant

SpaceKablooie · 15/07/2016 20:54

That's not dead, it's just thirsty.

Only kidding, it's dead really .

greathat · 15/07/2016 20:55

Did it eat bugs?

LillyBugg · 15/07/2016 20:57

Cutecat78 · 15/07/2016 20:58

Could it have been one of these? www.waitrosegarden.com/plants/_/tradescantia-green-hill/classid.2000027706/

Flouncy · 15/07/2016 20:59

I think it looks like a nerve plant too. There are many strains. Try google images polka dot plant for a same family variety.

SeveredPixieBits · 15/07/2016 21:01

It's not dead, it's pining for the fjords.
