No more plant-napping please


So for the past few months, my pretty plants, perched in mugs on my desk, have been taken. I even went on social media and pulled a Liam Neeson telling the plant perps that I will find them.

Winston was the first to go and was replaced by an imposter. I felt bad for the newbie n named him Blue.

Blue flourished on one side while Ferguson kept the other end of the desk looking green and cool.

Then September 1st came and both plants disappeared. I rushed to Anil who is my plant guru at the office as I have a tendency to kill plants (I give too much love, as in water).

He was on the case while I took to social media again to tell the world that Blue and Ferguson are now gone. This time, no replacement plant was even given.

It turns out, the office gardners have been potting my plants once they notice they have rooted. The whole point was to let the beauties grow all over my desk for the garden, outdoorsy effect.

It felt as though I cared for the plant babies and now they are off on a potted adventure.

Anil informed them to leave my plants alone and to not touch anyone elses desk from now on.

Sandeep then donated his plant since my desk looked naked and wrote on the pot: "Do not steal" and "I see you"! 

Let's hope my new baby, who I am yet to name, grows even further and is left to live out its days by my side in peace.
