Oh, joy of joys, I just discovered this little invader in my apartment called Veronica persica. Yeah, that’s right-the infamous Persian speedwell, the weed that laughs in the face of herbicides and now, apparently, my pristine indoor jungle. I must’ve smuggled it in on my shoes from some “nature walk” (read: regrettable picnic), and now it’s sprouting like it owns the place between my fiddle leaf fig and that sad succulent I forgot to water.
Has anyone out there tried taming this beast as an accidental houseplant? Is it secretly a low-maintenance diva that thrives on neglect, or am I about to watch it conquer my windowsill like a tiny green Napoleon? Spill the dirt-pun very much intended-before I accidentally start a weed farm instead of my zen garden.
