Amy, I can't speak for Key but I like to think of my inablilities with certain plants with my garden mantra in place:

You're not a real gardener until you've killed at least one of every kind...at least then the shock has worn off & you can be brave with the next plant inline..lol


The LFS really works for me I use it almost exclusively when I put leaves down, especially with the tiny minatures. I have had 99% sucess rate since I started using it. terrariums/ or the type of treatment has been another very useful tool for me.
For me, my troubles with crown rot stopped when Idid 2 things:
1st ~stopped watering with less than warm water
2nd ~Started using the AV self watering pots.

But who knows maybe it was the garden fairies showing me mercy???
