That is not good. Don't hate anyone.


I have been going to visit a lady 3 times a week for what seems like a
hundred years, and in that time, her houseplants have been given the most
appalling treatment. They get water whether they need it or not, they
are never re potted, the top of the soil is caked with limescale......or
what looks like it.... gross, and last week I could hold my peace no
longer, When I had to hold one plant (not in pot, in bowl with no
drainage over the sink and squeeze it out..... it was illiberally
floating..I said enough is enough, I am going to get some potting compost
next week and try to give your plants some tlc. and leave the watering
to me!


If you visit 3 times a week, how come the plants are so mistreated?

every time I go I have to drain the water out!
