Growth

A few years ago I bought myself a beautiful vine. It grew up along my book shelves and around my doorway.

The vine grew to be at least 15 feet long. It was amazing.

The same time my last relationship ended, the vine got root rot. Was it because I'd neglected to give it proper drainage... or did I just get too comfortable in it's routine of growing when I watered it?

I salvaged the vine, with only 4 leaves remaining. For an entire year it was only 4 leaves.

This Spring it started to grow again. There are 15 leaves now. It is in no way as strong as it once was, but it survived.
