Per 
SCP-XXXX is formerly the location of ██████’ █████████, a garden supply store in P ███ E████████ , South Africa.
Prior to containment in 2015, the store had been abandoned for a year. Upon discovery, the store contained 37 badly decayed corpses, with 15 identified as local residents, 4 identified as employees of ██████’ █████████. The identities of the remaining corpses is unknown and does not match any current database. Causes of death ranged from blunt trauma to the head (30%) to complete loss of blood (68%), with the exception being a Mr. Mick R████ , the store’s manager, who had died of exposure. Upon Foundation entry, SCP-XXXX was completely overgrown by plants on display.
Any plant from SCP-XXXX taken 1 km from its location and planted in soil will degrade into an amount of SCP-XXXX-1 proportional to its mass within a period of roughly three days.
SCP-XXXX-1 is a clear, viscous substance found in multiple locations throughout SCP-XXXX. Analysis of SCP-XXXX-1 reveals 31% similarity to human amniotic fluid. Upon exposure to soil, SCP-XXXX-1 will rapidly infiltrate into the ground, disappearing within seconds. From this point, all plant life growing within a 10 meter radius from the introduction point of SCP-XXXX-1 will exhibit notable changes in form. Changes vary according to species, but commonalities include:
-Increased resistance to damage. Mohs hardness is estimated at 6-7.
-Lignin in woody plants appears to be composed partially of human bone tissue. DNA testing revealed matches to various store employees.
-Seemingly erratic growth following no known tropism, although analysis has revealed that all plants seem to be attempting to [DATA EXPUNGED] towards samples of SCP-XXXX-1.
SCP-XXXX-1 is currently believed to be responsible for the current state of SCP-XXXX through unknown means.
Radioactive carbon taken up by a single isolated plant from SCP-XXXX can be observed in the conductive tissues of other plants in SCP-XXXX that have no way of accessing it. In this way, all plants within SCP-XXXX are uniformly healthy.
This has been classified as an anomalous effect of SCP-XXXX, and research is ongoing to determine the mechanism by which plants in SCP-XXXX share nutrients despite not being visibly connected.
-Three (3) 50 cm plastic planting pots containing a single specimen of the balloonplant (Gomphocarpus physocarpus) each. Adjacent sign indicates pots were planted to attract the monarch butterfly (Danaus plexipus) as a garden centrepiece. Seed follicles contain a 30% spinal fluid solution in place of sap. Seeds from these plants can be successfully germinated elsewhere, unlike other plants on site. In place of metamorphosis, monarch butterfly caterpillars feeding on these plants will begin [DATA EXPUNGED] by over 500%, leading to catatonia and brain death.
-Several hanging plants in bowls suspended from the ceiling by rope. Plants appear to be alive and healthy, despite no visible means of receiving light, nutrients, or water. Analysis of leaf tissue reveals close similarity to extinct genus Lepidodendron.
-Staff break room contains crude drawing in stains of various species of petals of commonly sold flowers, such as Calendula, Helianthus, and Lobelia, as well as SCP-XXXX-1. Drawing contains tree and stick figures kneeling next to it, (presumed to be employees or customers). A bipedal figure with a single “eye” appears to be perched atop the tree. If scale of stick figures is accurate, the entity’s height may be estimated at roughly 5-6 meters tall.

WEEKLY MEMO-[08/02/17]
Hello all. A couple of issues I’d like to address before we get started with the week.
First of all, the irrigation systems. I am aware they are leaking, and that they are making the outdoor tiling difficult to walk on, especially for our older customers. You can stop reporting it as a hazard. A repairman should be arriving next week, but until then, we’ll have to just keep brushing the water out every morning. Sorry about that.
Second point. Effective immediately, we are switching to a new brand of fertiliser for our outdoor area citrus plants. It’s easier to apply, more cost-effective, and works great, especially in drier weather, according to Tom. Normally it’d take more time to institute this kind of change, but he says he’s been using it in his own garden for the past month, and he knows his stuff. Yes, that’s where all the free limes and oranges in the break room have been coming from, he’s got way too much.
From now on, instead of getting fertiliser from the old sack in the holding zone, take a trowel and scoop about a fourth of a bucket of the clear stuff from the plastic carton marked “FOR MICK”. Apply it directly to the soil above the roots of the citrus trees. You don’t have to mix it or anything, according to Tom. Just smear it around, and water it. It should go right down into the soil.
Thanks in advance.

Hello all, hope you’re having a great Monday!
First of all, congratulations to all our team members for exceeding our sales target by 68%! To answer our most frequently asked question, we will be receiving a new extra-large shipment of citrus trees on Thursday. I don’t know what’s in that stuff Tom gave us, but it works like a charm. I’m thinking we should try it out on some of the flowers as well, maybe could even use it to save some of our unsaleable plants and make a bit of extra overhead. Our regional manager has sent a formal email to me commending our branch for our results, meaning we’re all likely to receive a pretty bonus later in the year.
Furthermore, the irrigation problem seems to have been fixed. We haven’t been getting puddles anymore, so thank you to the repairmen. I want those caution signs and barriers removed ASAP. Let’s get to it.

Hello again everyone.
We’ve been receiving much less foot traffic in the outdoor areas due to obstructive vegetation. As such, we need one or two of us to come in an hour before opening and trim the paths down. The ground cover is covering the ground, and now no one, let alone the elderly, can walk properly on it. Speak to me if you’re willing, extra pay will be provided.
From now on, leaves go in a separate bin. The stores next door need space for their trash too, and the leaves are piling up. I’ve requisitioned a couple of reinforced electric shears since the normal ones are all blunted or otherwise irretrievable. Don’t bother with the Round-Up, we’ve tried it, wasted two bottles, and it doesn’t work.
Also, I just called the repairmen and they said they hadn’t been in yet, told me next week like they always do. Lazy bastards. Was it one of you who fixed the irrigation? If so, thanks, but don’t do these things unregulated. Check in with me or Jeff first. Alright, let’s go.

I’ve been up for the past 15 hours now. I think Tom may have stopped by at some point to do inventory, so pruned my eyelids just to be safe. Can’t sleep. The soil knocks at noon and doesn’t stop. Keeps me up.
