Day 43:

Most interesting.

After days of attentive watering, my aloe vera is wilting nonetheless.
How could this be? Even after such care, things do not improve. It is supposed to be the easiest plant of the selection.

The chili, the rosemary, and the cherry tomato—the plants I expected to struggle most—are flourishing effortlessly.

Why is my aloe vera so stubborn?

Unnecessary resistance. Unexpected ease.
Effort attracts. Effort repels.

I am getting tired.

Should I continue to water a wilting person?
