Thanks, Lynn, I'll see if I can use tweezers on that. Sadly I really have no drier place, but I sure could redo the potting mix and try to move it out of the rain, and avoid watering it.... I did put it under cover again last night as there was a bit of rain, not much, but ya never know!
As for the two plants, they are so snug together I don't know if I will be able to see anything, but at least I know there is no warning sign, like, OH NO that red center means it has a disease, or something, which was my first thought.
