My Awesome Plants

I was sitting in my office and looked over and
saw my plant sitting there and started thinking... I've had that plant for a
long time. I'm not sure what kind of plant it is. It's just one of
those green wide leafed trailing plants that can continue to grow in almost any
condition and can't be killed. I cut off a little piece of plant, from a
plant my mother had, when i lived at home... way back in junior high or high
school time. This little piece became my new plant. I decided that
i wanted a jungle in my room for some reason and so i started growing this
plant in my room. Soon after, I got another plant and I would string the
plants from the ceiling and started creating my own personal jungle. It
grew for years until the room was covered with plants. That's one way to
create your own personal jungle.
In any case, I eventually had to move and cut
down the plants... some of the plant vines we almost 30 feet long.
Needless to say, they got a little pruning and i took them to my new
house where they hung from the 10 foot high ceilings and grew quite nicely near
the windows. No problems in this house. They then survived another
move to the house I live in now. I also hung them by the windows from the
ceiling and they were quite happy there as well. So up until this point,
the plants had lived really sun filled happy carefree days. But this was
about to end. I then got married and kicked out the roomates, moved in
all the new stuff and in the shuffle the plants were put out on the back porch
in the hot sun. As a joke, I always accuse my wife of trying to kill the
plants at this point in their life's. In any case, out in the hot sun
without water for a while they were soon on death's bed. luckily these
plants are very resilient and, like i said, would take a lot for them to die.
So i took them in, pruned them down to the barest amount... a long way
down from their jungle room heyday. So, to help them out, I planted them
in new pots and fed them well.
