Whoops. How did he get there? PICNIC error. More carelessness with
the selection process. That said, he does have a habit of getting in
places he shouldn't be.

Oh yes, if you can, try and use a clear pot for them. It helps with
root growth *and* allows you to see if the bark mix needs watering, as
well as telling you when you need to pot on.


That was all fantastic Spider. Very much appreciated. If I manage not
to kill them, I'll keep you updated.




Glad to help, Andy, and I'd be very interested in your updates in due
course. Love to Mo.
