I decided to use this on one of my houseplants and was impressed. I decided to put about half of the spikes into the soil around 5" from my house plant. After three days I didn't see anything different. On the fourth day I noticed something. A second plant was coming out of the soil. The second plan continued to grow for about a month. The flower were amazing and I decided to prune and cut one off to put in a vase. As soon as I cut it off I heard a "ouch" sound come from the soil. I must have been seeing things. I put on my glasses and looked for carefully and didn't see anything unusual. The next day the plant wasn't in the same place. At first I thought that my house cleaner moved the plant to another location. It could have been the case. I didn't really think much of it and then went to water the plant the next day and one of the plants looked all shriveled. So, me and my not-so-much green thumb decided to clear away the shriveled plant. As I reached down to prune the plant one of the leaves sliced against my arm. I looked down and saw a small cut and a little bit of blood. I went to the medicine closet and found a Band-Aid and put it on. I went back to the plant and it was gone. What? Where did it go? When I turned around I felt something grab onto my ankles. Oh no ... I looked around and the plant was on the ground. The stem was slowly climbing my legs and increasing it's pressure. My leg went numb. I tried to get away when all of a sudden I fell to the ground. Just when I turned my head I saw the plant. It started to move out of the pot and started to walk on it's roots towards me. I couldn't get up and felt helpless. I screamed. I tried to move my arms but they were trapped by the plant's lengthly vines. I had no options. This was going to be my last breath. I was breathing so heavy and sweat was pouring our of my pores. The plant attached itself to my face like an octopus. It first struck my eyes and then went into my ears. I was able to free one of my hands and dug deep into my pocket. In my pocket was one Jobe's houseplant fertilizer spike. I took the spike and thrusted it right into the plant. During this time everything was turning black. I felt like I was losing consciousness. When all of a sudden ... I heard a noise. The plant started to retract and move slowly back into the pot. I stood up, shook my head and brushed the sweat out of my eyes. I cautiously leaned in to the soil and heard something. It was a mumbling. I leaned in close and I heard an audible "thank you." I said you're welcome decided to order another set of Jobe's houseplant fertilizer spikes.
