Anyone know how to fix dying plants? When I bought this one I asked for one I couldn't kill but obviously I should have asked for one neither BEN nor I could kill. Not to say that he did it or anything but I know my neglect had nothing to do with it. It was gorgeous in its day. The other problem with this picture is the sheer lack of ideas for what-the-heck to do with the sunroom. I welcome ideas.

You need a ponytail palm...I've had one for over a year and haven't killed it yet! It's even getting bigger...now if I can only figure out how to get the ants out of it.

The sunroom looks like a lovely place to throw stones. Or stow thrones. Or have a breakfast nook.

You should break out the windows and have a back porch then build a swimming pool with a built in hot tub.

Is your plant wilting from the bottom? I have a basil plant that I could lend you. It's the first plant I haven't killed in 5 years. Well, it's my only plant that I've had in 5 years. When my african violet died after I graduated from college, I couldn't handle the thought of losing another. Grieving takes time and I'm glad i have another plant now. *a

I think you should exile more of Ben's junk to the sunroom. I would think you should situate things so that when you sit down you're looking out the windows instead of at the wall. That's just me.
