Hi there folks. So glad I found you... - December 7th, 2005 at 08:30 AM
After years of being a self-professed plant killer with a black thumb, I'm starting over. And I've gone plant crazy! In fact I talk about them so much that I'm driving my husband nuts. So I'm really glad I found this forum.
At the beginning of October I planted china doll, philodendron selloum, schefflera, asparagus fern and rubber tree seeds. All have sprouted and have beautiful little leaves except for the rubber trees. I'm still waiting on those. I just bought some ponytail palm seeds.
Meanwhile, because I wanted a little instant grativication, I also purchased a small snake plant and a small gold dust dracaena (godseffiana) last week. I got some pothos cuttings from my mother that I'm keeping in a vase of water with some pretty flat marbles.
In the past I've been guilty of overwatering and transplanting too soon to large pots. So now that I realize the error of my ways, I hope to redeem myself. :-)
