One day while i was pulling an errant kikuyu grass plant from my garden,
as an experiment, i put it into a ceramic bowl (a large pot really, but
has no drain hole), that already had some sand at the bottom. Thinking it
would probably rot and die soon, i left it. Well, it's been at least two,
if not three months, and it's still very much alive. It seems to have
rooted itself in the sand at the bottom of the pot.
So, what I am wondering is this, does it ever, in it's natural habitat
grow near marshy areas? Or, is it just a matter of time before the weather
warms up,and bacteria become more active and begin to rot the plant?
