I'm so sad....I wanted my very own hobbit

Remember that cute, adorable, hobbit finger plant I got just a few short days ago? Well, just one day after purchase, I experienced a large outbreak of hives. Said hives are still making a mini appearance every couple hours. So, it is with much regret that I say, Gollum is no longer with us. There is no guarantee that the plant is to blame...but after switching detergent and avoiding all foods that I ate prior to breakout, that was really the only option. The end of an itching, swollen arms, hands and eyes story.
