There you go Bob.

Good to know that somebody else knows he is dealing with idiots in this
thread. No amount of advice is going to get through to Helene. Hand

holding
is a total waste of time.

Now we know that not only is Helene completely incapable of competently
growing plants but also that those constantly off-topic trolls John Watson
and Tom Randy encourage incompetence. Maybe they think that makes them

look
like geniuses by comparison?

Hello,

I have a big plant (ressembling a schefelra, but it's not) that i
overwatered. What actually happened is that there were small rocks

on
top of the soil and it prevented humidity to get out.

I removed the stones and placed the plant outside 2 weeks ago. It

has
not been watered, except for occasionnal rain, and it's still very
much wet and drowning. The plant is losing leaves by the ton and I'm
afraid it's dying.

What can I do to save it? Will removing some of the top soil help?

Thanks.

Repot it with light soil. Drill more holes on the bottom/side. Stick a
pipe with small holes to the pot bottom. Put it in a place with good
air circulation.


i know agassi plays like a houseplant nowadays, but do you think that

would
help his game at all?

Moving a house plant from inside to outside would cause leaves
dropping even with a health plant. You might have a plant with wet
feet and burned leaves.


btw, got my $100 yet karen? i take paypal.
