Ah Loong is dead. Ah Loong was my dragon tree plant. I had it in my office at Tiger Claw for years. I specifically bought it from wonderful store just a few blocks away where the lovely clerk found me something durable that could live neglected in the office. I faithfully watered Ah Loong (Burce Lee's character in Return of the Dragon - Loong means dragon) as instructed for nearly a decade.
This water I put it outside in the rain, thinking it might enjoy that. Stacy had tone the same with plants on our veranda and they turned such and green. Not Ah Loong. Ah Loon turned brown. Clearly an indoor plant. Ah Loong had three sprouts. Two died. I trimmed the last remaining sprig so only the green bits remained. But yesterday, it fell over. It's done.
Time for a new dragon tree.
Mercury in Retrograde is a time to whine and complain about life's tribulations and blame them on the stars.
