I just received plants that I purchased from another member and it made me remember something my Mother stressed upon me as a little girl.... "Never say 'thank you' for a plant because it will die if you do!" She always said "I appreciate you sharing this plant with me." To this day I still can't say "thank you" when someone shares a plant!!

Does anyone else follow that tale?? What do you say??

What other old wives tales do you "believe" in when it comes to plants etc.....
I hate losing plants....I know they are "just plants" but when you nurse them along and baby them and get them to grow, bloom, and be pretty and they die....it's like losing a friend..... Crying
