Spiderplant

I've wondered how old this bougainvillea is every time i see it every morning when I enter the building where our office is located. I thought this was a young plant at about three or four years old. Notwithstanding my itching curiosity, I asked the oldest guy in the building, only to find out that the plant was placed there the very day the building was completed.

The building where the plant is found is owned by General Authority in Civil Aviation (GACA) of King Khaled International Airport, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. I researched about it on when it was completed, it was in the early 80's which means that the plant is already more than 30 years old.

The plant is always trimmed every time it reaches the height of the wall and is only watered through a tube because the building is found beside the airport in the middle of the dessert.

I guess the spiderplant will never cover wall unless someone stops cutting it's branches. Climb on!
