MikeyMagic Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) Regret plants. I know! I said I’d talk about the laughing plants! But there are so may important lessons that must be learned in order to navigate the emotional garden safely. Regret plants are difficult to approach, a bit like a garden bed full of spiny Yucca’s! Lots of little points of information can cause sharp stabbing sensations in your gut, mouth, and eye! This can lead to serious blindness, sharp words and wretched pain. The longer the points have caused damage the more chance a wound can form. The best way to approach a garden bed of Regret plants is to take one GOOD straight TRUTH, then use it to push the points to one side. From there you can lop it off at the base. It may regrow from the root matter if it is well rooted. The best way to deal with the problem is to keep cutting it back every time it pops it growing tip. Eventually you will exhaust this parasitic though form.. I mean the regret plant… Whatever works for you crazy kids! This is my story.. Make of it what you like..

MikeyMagic Posted February 12, 2014 I almost got stabbed in the eye by a Yucca today! I'm unsure if it was a pre-emptive plant asociation or a plant threatening retaliation! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anodyne Posted February 12, 2014 I've found the best way to eradicate these thorny little bastards is to just ignore 'em - eventually they will die of neglect, freeing up space for more productive plants. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeyMagic Posted March 9, 2014 Most of the gardens I service seem to contain "Regret plants". They more often than not survive despite total neglect, and will last a long time even with no grounds for their bases. People can forget about them and they still fill space giving them some thing to feel. I waited too long to deal with my regret plants. To get rid of them a concentrated effort is needed. Otherwise they will grown new heads. (Ignore them for long enough and you will feel them) This isn't all ways bad, better to feel regret, than apathy. But that's a different plant/story all together... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
