Did you see the picture of mine on the other thread? Well, I'll post it here, since it's relevant. Please hold your sides firmly before you enlarge it. It should give you quite a laugh. Nancy thought I might want to go ahead and play Taps for it! LOL I'm not ready to give up yet, though.

I figure if nothing else, we can all compare how we killed them and pinpoint at least a few things NOT to do. I agree totally that AV care doesn't seem to be the correct route at all. I tried mine in a terrarium and that didn't work either. I don't have any trouble with my Chiritas, and actually find them easier to grow than AVs.

What did yours do as they were declining, Pam? How did they look? Did they die quickly or over a period of time? (Am I asking enough questions? I can come up with more... LOL)

We'll know something is really up with those things if nobody here has successfully grown one. I suspect that Snowrose might have a beauty stashed somewhere on her shelves...
