I have problems doing the "without guilt" part. Plant funerals are so hard for me, standing there before the compost pile, trying to hold back the tears, always wondering why it's never the dandelions or kudzu. Never quite knowing the appropriate words: "There goes $xx down the drain" just doesn't quite seem right for the eulogy. Then of course there's all those veggies glaring at me at the buffet table afterward... Yes, the guilt runs deep...

Thanks for the input Ursula. That sounds easy enough. I heard someone complain once about some of their orchids "growing too many aerial roots". I wondered what part of epiphyte they didn't quite get.
