I put a dying plant in a bottle of water. I was sure it wouldn't survive, and sure enough, its single leaf shriveled and fell. Well, too lazy to remove it, I left it sitting on my plant stand surrounded by other plant life I've successfully maintained. Today I noticed, after a month or so, a new leaf has grown up out of its bulb, and multiple strands of roots are curling around in the bottle. Proves I'm not the author of what lives and dies. Thankful for that fact.
