I have had two plants in this flat because I rented it furnished and they were included. They looked rather ugly and they took lot of space so I didn't really take good care of them. Well, after I returned from Switzerland they looked even worse than before. Today I took a better look what is wrong with them.

The other one had lost almost all green leaves and also the body felt soft. So I took a knife and chopped all dead parts away. The other one seemed to be in a little bit better condition but it faced same treatment. Then I remembered that if you cut parts away from jucca plants you should cover the cut with wax in order to prevent drying.

So, I tried to pour some wax from candle but it was too difficult. Then I decided to heat up pieces of candle in a tea spoon with a lighter. That reminded me movies like Trainspotting but instead of finding a syringe I placed some wax on the cut of the plant.

I think those plants are gone anyways but let's see...

I am flying back to Budapest on next Friday morning and I am looking forward to it. Next time I'll be here with Dóra while we are attending company's ski weekend. That will be in mid January but before that I'll make a x-mas visit to Finland.

It has been nice here but it is also very nice to return.
