I’ve never been really good with plants. I remember when I was a kid, I planted some vegetable seeds in the backyard, they grew about a couple of inches then they dried up. In school, we had to grow flowers for our practical arts/home economics class and the seeds I planted didn’t grow at all, I just bought flowers in a pot to show to my teacher. And then about a month ago, my mom brought a welcome plant (whatever that is) to our place here in Makati. She said a house is better with plants. She also said it’s so easy to maintain, it doesn’t need a lot of sunlight, I just need to water it a couple of times a week and that’s it. I followed mom’s instructions but what used to be a green and healthy plant is slowly turning brown and somewhat dull!

I guess I should just get one of these.

It’s a Tomy Flip Flap. And as described on the Tomy website,

This uber cool solar powered plant is a hit in the offices and apartments of Japan and the craze is growing in the UK!

No Batteries, no water and no hassle – this is the ideal plant for style conscious executives and tired students!

Just Flip the switch and grow your mind to the swaying leaves of this delightful plant. There are 3 modes of movement to enable Flip Flap to soothe and energise both you and your living space depending on the mood.

Yeah, I know I’m such a geek. Real plants don’t like me.
