Thank you. I actually have a tendency to over-love (read: over water) my plants, but I'm trying to be careful about that this year. Having more plants means less time and energy to water them all, so hopefully that will force me to water a little less; which, hopefully, will mean less likelihood of root rot in my plants.

Hopefully.

(I've been doing really good so far this year, though...)

I made some cuttings of my Star "Jasmine" (**) and so far they have not died. In the past, I have had no luck, If they do take, in the Spring I could send you one for postage.

That is so generous of you, thank you! I might take you up on that. I'll see how my green thumb develops and if all seems well enough come spring, I would love to try the Star Jasmine you have.

(If I kill off my plants with too much love, though, I won't accept your generous offer...I don't want to kill your cuttings that you worked hard to grow.)

** Like Stephanotis, Star Jasmine is not a true jasmine either but a member of the Trachelospermum genus. True Jasmines are in the genus Jasminum

I'm okay with that.
