Ever thought of cacti?

But don't overwater them either.

I've left some in school from July to Sept. without water and they
survive.



I'm not really keen on cacti, but I do have an aloe vera. That gets
left for loooooong periods without water, and then suffers a sudden
flood before another drought. That is according to the instructions
on the box, and it is working well so far...
I've got one of those too - it's the only houseplant I've managed not to kill - I've had it nearly a year and it's actually growing! It thrives on neglect, and the one time if fell over the leaf came in very handy!


<snip some stuff about a weed...>

If you find it useful and/or attractive, then it is not a weed.
