Hey Everyone!

​

I've had quiet an... unusual thing occur and I'm scared. This event took place two days ago in the morning.

​

I took my mint plant down from this window to water it. After I watered it and placed it back in the window, the main limb you see sticking straight up was sort of flopped over. The very top of it was nearly touching the bottom of the window sill. It took me a sec to realize the plants poor posture but moved to adjust it, as I did so, and before I could even get close to it again...it moved.

​

Now when I say it moved, I mean quickly. The action took less than 2 seconds. The main limb righted itself so it was straight, turned slightly, then sort of stretched or crawled up against the window to go higher.

​

Now. I like science. I'm familiar with plants turning towards the sun. I also realize that static cling could have played a role here. BUT there are two very big factors here that confuse me. Firstly, it was a cloudy day anyway and the sun rises on the other side of my house. Secondly, when the limb moved it was flopped down and angled AWAY from the window. It was not against it so the static cling theory makes little sense. Let me repeat myself, this did not take place over minutes or hours. It was two seconds, perhaps less.

​

I thought I was going insane and hallucinating, but turning around my mom was standing at my side, slack jawed.

​

I bought this thing at Walmart to make mojitos.

What did I get myself into?
