Elmer

When Nuria left for Costa Rica, she put me in charge of her plants. What could go wrong?

I know how to water plants, and she told me when to water them, and how much water to use on each plant. Most of them have done well. Except for this plant, which I call Elmer.

Since the photo was taken, I've cut off all the brown leaves, which doesn't leave much of Elmer, but he does look better.

I've watered Elmer and he gets plenty of sunlight, so why does he appear to be dying? Maybe Nuria's green thumb can save him when she returns. She'll be back on Super Bowl Sunday. I hope that's not too late for Elmer.
