Hey, Ken, I think you need to update your link in your signature line. I got the same "not found" message, too. (And Daisy was referring to this Rodney)

@Daisyl, you left someone off your list. Sighing! I feel like Rodney Dangerfield. Sad


Thank you guys so much for all the great advice and information!

On closer inspection of the small pot the plant is actually in, I can see what appears to be a fairly dense collection of roots and as best I can tell, the medium isn't as soggy as all the surrounding stuff I pulled it out of led me to believe. The pot has side slits and the bottom also has multiple slits for good drainage. I was thinking I'd just leave it alone for a while to let it acclimate to the spot it's in now, which is a room with south facing, but sheltered French doors that let in lots of light, but stays between 65 to 75 degrees. I've read that they prefer to be somewhat root bound, but how much is too much?
Confidence is that feeling you have right before you do something really stupid.
