The plants that survive in this house tend to be those that like to get dry regularly, not wet.<br /><br />In mr_subjunctivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14113199755474482747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-8342653176433484392012-10-23T09:36:36.572-07:002012-10-23T09:36:36.572-07:00Also, how are the anthurium seedlings doing?Also, how are the anthurium seedlings doing?davelybobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09509250946075316230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-2981414474005107492012-10-23T09:36:03.835-07:002012-10-23T09:36:03.835-07:00Hey I'm still reading every word you write, ju...Hey I'm still reading every word you write, just been laying low on plant stuff lately as I got sidetracked into the aquarium scene.
