This kind of plant is the one that is used in beta aquariums. It probably just needs watering more often. If they can live in only water, I believe this is just what it needs. I hope you don't mind me checking this blog out. Your children are beautiful. Good luck with the surgery.Ashlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02907828157386322373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28467399.post-1163053433710664452006-11-09T01:23:00.000-05:002006-11-09T01:23:00.000-05:00I've kept a plant alive that was given to us when ...I've kept a plant alive that was given to us when Clayton was born (from John's work of course) and that's been the key - water when the soil looks dry - about once a week. The leaves will start looking a bit parched (sorta sucked in) if it is really in need. If you follow this plan and get it near some indirect light, it should do well.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06141809612132976253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28467399.post-1163043008446426552006-11-08T22:30:00.000-05:002006-11-08T22:30:00.000-05:00I think you had better call the Doctor ASAP, or ma...I think you had better call the Doctor ASAP, or maybe 911!!!!<BR/><BR/>Just kidding.<BR/><BR/>Give it some time, it should come around. Feel the soil, if it's dry give it a drink.<BR/><BR/>I guess others gave similar advice.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!<BR/><BR/>DadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28467399.post-1163024985542128572006-11-08T17:29:00.000-05:002006-11-08T17:29:00.000-05:00I totally laughed out loud when I saw your before ...I totally laughed out loud when I saw your before and after pictures..I do NOT have a green thumb and have NEVER had a houseplant survive. Our garden actually did well this year - but that's the first time in 3 years since we've lived in WY. Maybe it needs some Miracle Grow or something??<BR/><BR/>Love the salad. If my kids made their own dinner, they would make corn dogs and/or chicken nuggets.

After you have established a relationship, only then you will "know" when to water it -it will be sending little invisible, but happy and healthy, spores through the air that suggest to your subconscious pre-mortal one-with-the-universe mind "feed me!" . tee hee<BR/>actually, grandma Hiatt's plan is the best - once a week, unless the dirt is still moist when you check it after a week, then wait aa little longer - like every 10 days.<BR/>Loved B's salad! but no cucumbers :(<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>Grandma SweatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28467399.post-1163022424209902152006-11-08T16:47:00.000-05:002006-11-08T16:47:00.000-05:00Theatre directors know very little about house pla...Theatre directors know very little about house plants. But the third picture looks good to me. Find out what kind of plant it is, then ask a florist how to care for it re exposure to light, water, cold air, etc.<BR/>Shirley says she waters our house plants once a week and we've had one of them for YEARS.<BR/>(Unfortunately none will make the trip to SLC next week.)<BR/>Brandon, your salad looks great and probably tasted great, too.<BR/>But, hey, B-train, that dish your Mom made sounds delicious. Give it a try, you might like it. (But you'll never know unless you take at least one bite.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
