Oh Steven, I could never even try to moderate a tropical plant forum like they have here because my knowledge is limited to TROPICAL HOUSE PLANTS. That is what I keep telling them is so different. You can plant all the large leaf tropicals outside you want, but try and grow them inside. Tropical House Plants are a breed of their own and I can not seem to get that across to this administration. I am just going to visit the different groups, add where I can and then keep moving on because I see no future for a tropical house plant forum here. It is so needed for people like us and our hobby house plant gardeners. Everyone is very kind but there is a big road block up for a Tropical House Plant forum and I am not sure if it is a personal thing against me, or the topic itself. If it is me, I wish someone would tell me and I can disappear and stop wasting my time. I see so many people here who are interested in my topic but it falls on deaf ears.
Thank you for your kind words about my old girl. I hope she survives this winter. I have my doubts. She is not looking too good. She is very pot bound and I already have her in a muck bucket with holes in the bottom to drain. I can not find anything bigger.
