Work Plant

I have no idea what this is called, but you always see it in the garden center of your local Target as an indoor houseplant. If you know what it is, tell me!

I bought this little guy about 5 years ago when I was having a shitty day at work. I went to Capital Nursery, right around the corner from the Zoo, and wandered around until I felt better. That included picking up this plant and a nice brown pot for it to live in.

$11 later, and I it lived in my office. It loves to have a little bit of water every couple of days. If you can't remember to water your plants, don't buy this one...it will drop all it's leaves and die on you. I only seem to do well with it cause it lives on my desk and I look at it every day. It usually gets my leftover glass of water at the end of the day.

I recently went on vacation for a few weeks and left the plants in the care of my coworker. Not all of them survived, but this guy hung in there.

I love the little spikes it shoots out every once in while after it's been happy for a good long time. They look like the kind of spikes that come out of a peace lily.
