"The last one looks like it developed a waxy coating to protect itself from the lack of rain all together so it wouldn't wilt and die."

He grinned. "Very good, Kerry! Yes, the first had an alarming amount of water, which really needed to go somewhere, and so it grew broad leaves. The middle one actually had a decent amount of water. The type a houseplant normally requires. The last was lacking water, and so needed to protect itself from losing it. Amazing little plant, isn't it? Two points, dear."

He chuckled. "The middle one here is my example of the perfect care taken with house plants, and most garden plants. It's just the right amount of attention that it needs."

He put down the one with the broad leaves and the one with the thin leaves then pulled up two more. This time, one was pale and slightly grayish, only a little bit of green showing. It was also spread out quite a bit, and seemed rather viney. The other was a bright green, standing straighter than the "normal" plant. "Can someone tell the difference in care with these plants?"
