Hi, I haven't been here for a while so forgive me if this has already
been talked about.. Does the group think that leaving potted plants in

No. In fact one of the first manifestations of a VW problem is plants
wilting slightly even though they look wet enough. I have often
suspected but never verified in any way acceptable to a scientist that
overwatering encourages the weevils.
