Lin, you've encouraged me to take better care of mine. I cleaned it up and fed it yesterday. I'd already put it outdoors under a tree. We've been getting so much rain that I decided to take the hanging basket down and drilled holes in it for draining. I'd been turning the pots on their sides so that they could dry out. I drilled right through the saucer because the basket just doesn't look good without it. I keep my ric rack plant in my garage along with my neglected oxypetalum (which I also trimmed up and fed yesterday) during the winter months. So it's not like I have to worry about water dripping on the floor. My oxy buds failed to open & just wilted last fall, because I brought it in too soon & also forgot to mark the side facing the sun. Grumbling We had a short & miserably wet fall, so the plant was going through a lot at that time. Hopefully things with be better this year. I will put it under the roof overhand before the fall rains, and wait until bloom night to bring it in for the show. Happy Blooms!
