They are REALLY EASY. Just keep the soil damp (not soggy) and give it bright light. Fertilize half the recommended rate every other watering. Tom |

Yeah Tom do tell.
Do you use that expensive yak dung from outer Mongolia or do you have your own special brand of manure just for newsgroups? If you keep the soil continuously damp for Poinsettias they will most certainly rot. "Marg" wrote in message om... Hi Tom, Can you tell me what the recommended fertilizer is and the how much to use?

Oh I forgot, you're Randy Tom, the plant psychic.
I am thinking of the proper plant to ram up your posterior. Can you name that plant? "Tom Randy" wrote in message news On Mon, 29 Nov 2004 07:20:46 +0000, Cereus-validus... wrote: Yeah Tom do tell.
