Golux vs the Lavender Plant

[imaginary_golux]

My Best Beloved's father (a charming man) has, in a fit of misplaced generosity, given me a lavender plant in a cute little pot. This would not be a problem except that I have a hereditary brown thumb. My family makes sure we have a nice garden by leaving everything strictly alone except for watering it occasionally. So giving me a lavender plant is...well, the lavender plant may not be long for this world.

This does make me feel a little like the Dread Pirate Roberts, though: "Good night; good work. I'll most likely kill you in the morning."

Five days and it's not dead yet! Anyone care to take bets on its life-expectancy?
