NEGLECT 



The third and probably the most common 

 cause of failure is neglect. Plants require as 

 careful attention as do pet animals, and should 

 receive daily care. A few days of neglect may 

 permanently ruin a handsome specimen. It 

 does not lengthen the life of a plant to water it 

 at those occasional times when it happens to 

 be remembered ; if the plant lives and thrives, 

 it should receive the proper amount of water at 

 the proper time. This does not mean that it 

 should be watered every day but that it should 

 be looked after every day and watered when 

 necessary.
