Rolling on the floor laughing That is how this one went down to one leaf and almost died. I am not one that water houseplants. I have 100s but they have to chase me down and push a water can into my hand. This one I put it in a pot with no drainage holes and that seemed to work with my NO WATER PROBLEM.

Also, as I stated above it is a hungry plant. Probably because of all the white in the leaves it needs more fertilizer than other plants and the epsom salt helps.
