Yes, it is true. My absolutely wonderful, Ethopian maid has forbidden me from watering or otherwise tending to my house plants. The one that started this whole thing is my “Devil’s Ivy” (Epipremnium spp) plant. They are EVERYWHERE here and I, apparently, nearly drowned mine. She gently rebuked me and said I was not allowed to water the plant anymore. Recently, that has been amended – her most recent comment was that I was, “Khalas (finished) with the plants – she would take care of them”
ROTFLMAO!
