I seem to remember my mom telling me when i was a kid only to water hers like twice a year. I'm sure i promptly killed it afterward. I haven't met a plant yet that I can't kill. If they sent me down South, I could have the scourge of Kudzu cleared up in about a week, two tops. All i'd have to do is feed and water it, and it would whither on the vine, like every thing else I've tried to grow.
