My sisters, mom and niece were out to visit this weekend. We went to Ikea and I bought a palm tree because they were on sale. J's palm tree died about a week after she bought it from the Ikea out by her but, for some reason, I thought I might want to try keeping one alive.
My mom called around 8:00 to let me know she was finally home from the drive, and I told her I'd re-potted the tree, and that it looked pretty healthy in the kitchen.
"Well, talk to it a lot. I told it today that you would."
What really keeps a tree alive, and is my mother depressed because she probably talked to my tree more than she talked to me this weekend?
