Ok, so I've been looking at my Episcia 'My Black Beauty' for the past few days . . . I've got to say it was looking kinda sorry . . . I even put it into an 8" container to water it from the bottom on - that was a few days ago. I was just in there looking at what I need to work on next, and the poor thing looks even worse! There was still water at the bottom of the larger container . . . then I see it . . . it's still double potted . . . and for those of you who show plants, you know what I did . . . I forgot to take the press'n'seal from the bottom of the pot, so it couldn't absorb any water!

I won't take a pic of its sorry self right now, but here's a pic from the show 2 weeks ago . . . it's the one in the lower left . . .
