I received some emails reminding me that some people have dial up and the threads get too long for people to post.

So, here we go on part 2

Here is Thumbelina, a strep whose roots were so thick and tangled they were not getting any water to them. I almost threw her away but decided to start digging away at the root system. Now she is blooming again. Next I want to try what Brenda has taught us about just cutting down the middle and making a new plant. This one has very small foliage.
