Carl and Kev,
thanks for the advice about S. foetida. I've been
reading quite a bit about bonsai in various books
(and now, there's the archives to wade through!),
but there is no substitute for the advice of
experienced bonsai growers. That's why I really
appreciate this newsgroup.

I'll pick up a hygrometer from Radio Shack,
and check this humidity issue for myself (not
that I don't believe y'all, I'm just curious).
If it's too low, I'll transfer the humidity-
loving plants to aquariums.

Again, thanks a bunch!

cheers,
shireen
