The Death of Xamia

This is not the first time that my zeal to upgrade my little garden turned the other way around. I very very seldom put fertilizer to the plants in pots or on the ground. After seeing that the organic greyish beads of about 3 mm in diameter had been in the clay container stashed under the garden bench for like more than six months, i decided to use it. My Xamia certainly hated the stuff. The leaves turned yellow and fell apart within four days. I have had the Xamia since baby at ca. 3 inches tall. That was at least four years ago. Like all living things, it's her time. So, I outlived her. I replaced her with one of the cacti with long, limp stems. Let's see how long this cactus survive in a bigger pot. No fertilizer anymore!
