Chuckie baby, are you saying you can't possibly be a troll because your

are
so computer inept you don't know how to do a spell check? Then all you

could
be is just a bitter old man with too much time on his hands? Yeah, I saw a
panhandler on the street that said he was self-employed independent
contractor!!!

Was never much for titles, but you seem to not understand much else.
Besides, weren't you the one who told me you were an expert at

everything.
Tnink a little now, when you add 40 years + PhD you get retired which
further verifies my opinion which agrees with many others. Also perhaps

I
was in Private Industey or self employed. You're undoubtably the troll.

PhD and 40 years experience doing what? Flipping burgers at Micky

Dee's?
You
see a phony every day when you look in a mirror, UpChuck. All the

time,
I
see know nothing dweebs with degrees. You are another to add to the

list.
So
far, it appears the only experience you have with plants is eating

salad.

Your e-mail address doesn't have an .edu at the end. So, I know you

are
not
a professional educator. You are just another lying troll egomaniac.

If you ever actually answer anybody's questions we will have proof

exactly
what little you do know. Until then, why don't you just go back to

looking
at porn and stop showing everyone how worthless you are.

"The Botanical Sciences"?

What is that supposed to be, UpChuck, some sort of new age

religion?

The science is called botany. Its the study of plants, plain and

simple.

You have never shown even the slightest whit of understanding of

basic
botany in any of your postings, you pompous dweeb.

Today, I spent the morning identifying plants and how to properly

grow
them
in a local conservatory.

I doubt you even know shit from shinola.

You are about as knowledgeable and as dangerous as the arses in

the
following links.



PhD and 40 years experience say different. And I know phony when I
observe
one and you are a perfect example. Again, your name calling does

nothing
except verify my conclusion.

CWR.

Spirit of Botanical Science?

You have a very Dickensian view of the world, M&M.

And after due observation, you don't have much real knowledge

about
The
Botanical Sciences. So Others can discuss and you, as usual,

can
continue
making your inane comments.

Some of his conclusions from his observations were based on
misconceptions
and not as interesting as you may want to believe. You may be

hoping
for
something that does not exist.

Everything else was interesting. Let the spirit of

botanical
science
thrive, let's discuss his questions.

The question was already answered, meathead.

The plant was top heavy and needed to be staked.

Everything else was irrelevant.

Does anyone have answers to this guy's awesome and

totally
interesting
question?

Hi botanists,

Total n00b, in no way a botanist, just wondering on

plant
weirdness.
Well,
weird to me!

Heres the story...

A year ago my mum gave me a plant. Its a family thing,

been
handed
down
through the generations - we all have one. It was

quite
a
chunky
chap
when
he was given to me. Big, thick stem, sprouting out

into
other
very
healthy
looking stems, each with big, green bulbous leaves.

Sorry,
none
of
us
know
what it is Anyway, after four weeks it just started
falling
to
pieces.
Woah! I thought. Can't lose plant!! I had a quick chat

with
my
mum
and
she
said it was odd, but even from a leaf they can just

grow
back,
so
I
shouldn't worry. Fair enough, I thought. So, every bit

that
fell
off
I
re-potted and for each pot I tried different tactics,

you
know,
to
try
and
figure out what I did to kill it the first time. All

the
little
pieces
survived, but the main plan died.

Ok. Now I have 5 plants. I I want to know where I went
wrong,
so
I
give
them
all slightly different conditions:

1. Small pot, soil, little water, in the shade
2. Medium pot, soil, medium water, indirect sunlight.
3. Small pot, only water, direct sunlight.
4. Large pot, soil, lots of water, direct sunlight,

baby
bio.
5. Large pot, soil, see how he survives outside

A year later, they are all still alive!

From this, I could only guess that when the main stem

plant
fell
to
pieces
it was simply reproducing. I mean, after all, there

are
5
of
them
now
and
try as I might to get the main stem to grow it

steadfast
refused.

Anyway, thats not the freaky part. Why did I put

"plant
memory"
in
the
subject? Well. Remember plant no. 5? He didn't do too

well
outside.
In
fact, I totally forgot he was out there until about a

month
later.
He'd
fallen over in the wind, soil spilt everywhere and

barely
a
leaf
left.
I
picked him up, fixed the soil and brought him back

with
the
others.

Over the next few months he made a great recovery. His

stem
grew
stronger
than the others, and took on a darker sort of "woody"

style.
I
figured
he
was a tough nut now.

So, I come back today and.... he was growing sideways.

Yes,
thats
right.
He
was upright yesterday, and today he has bent his stem

90
degrees.
Its
like
he "remembered" that he fell over this time last year,

and
so
decided
to
fall over again! Probably in preparation for "the big
knock".

Obviously the 4 other plants are still growing

upright.

Is this "normal" plant behavior? Will I have to train
"junior"
to
stand
up
straight, or will he "fall over" again this time next

year?
