Kivit I don't wick water, just haven never gone there. I have started using capillary matting with my leaves and baby plants (works great!) and some sinningias and I have started putting circles of capillary matting material in the dishes under each plant! I put 1/4 to 1/3 perlite in the bottom of my pots so they can sit in some water and do well. So far it works well for me...

Goldleaf that reddish one is Spin Art, my camera did better with capturing it's colors. I have taken several more pictures of Helter Skelter trying to capture the true colors of it but so far no luck! It is gorgeous no matter what color it shows up in.

Helter Skelter was a lucky eBay buy! I was getting something else from the seller and bid on it to save on shipping! Score!! LOL

Bonnie the plants I bought from Kaurtz were micro mini Freckles, then Laura, Apollo and one they substituted .. Cherry Sprite. I am going to have to copy you come summer and get a room air conditioner for my plant room as it gets mighty warm in there with all those lights, but this winter it will be awesome to be busy in there.

Spider you are a stronger woman than I .... dis-budding your streps!! LOL

This is a strep that grew from the mixed seeds the Gessie Society sends with your first subscription ... so no name but very pretty. I ended up with three plants that grew with these same blooms ... any ideas as to what they might be???
