"I learned about how the plant responds to various environmental and care conditions, of course... But on a more personal note it gave me the opportunity for introspection and the chance to step back and take a look at myself from a different perspective-- my strengths, weaknesses, and how my experiences have affected my life... and therefore the growth of my 'soul plant' and my spirit; how what I have experienced has contributed to who I am now." Xana said.
