That's why I send you the type of stuff I do. I know you can make it grow like wildfire! LOL So glad they're all doing well for you! Everything I put in the tray I told you about, with the inserts, is doing real well, too. Hope that works out to be a good method for me, as it sure saves space. I do recall sending you some Episcias, because that's yet another thing I CAN'T grow!! Grrr... LOL

My grandpa always told me that getting grumpy meant you were getting well. ;o) Best if you stay on the AV forum til you're over that grumpy spell. We know you and love you, grumpy or not! LOL ;o)

Re: the tray I mentioned above to Gail - I was pressed for time one day and wanted to put some leaves and such down, but didn't have holes in dixie cups for potting up, so I just used one of the seedstarting trays. Put 1/3 pure perlite in the bottom, then filled them the rest of the way with my mix. Left one hole open to monitor the water level and to water into. Here's a pic for reference. Worked well for an "in a hurry and too lazy to do it right" kind of day! LOL
