This is Andrew The Plant. I adopted him in July (or maybe it was August) when I walked into the copy room here at Southern Living and found him sitting on the give-away table that regularly houses books, unwanted candy, and, most recently, a smiley face coffee cup. I held that coffee cup in my hand for approximately seven seconds before I put it back down. I should have taken it.

Anyway, I have no idea what kind of plant Andrew The Plant is. He is green and leafy. (I left the water bottle in the photo for scale.) I water him everyday Monday through Friday, but he still droops and looks kind of sad. I should ask my colleague down the hall what I’m doing wrong, but I guess my pride has prevented me from doing so. I mean, I’m 22 years old and this plant seems pretty basic – it doesn't even have flowers – if I can’t keep it alive, I should probably reevaluate my existence.

Can you help? If you recognize what kind of plant Andrew The Plant is, let me know and I can do some research into what I might be doing wrong. I love having a plant in my cube, but I want to make sure I can do so without killing it. You know, because a live plant is so much better than a dead one.

EDIT: In this photo, Andrew The Plant actually looks full and beautiful. But in real life, he does look kind of brown and sad. Help please.
