  • My jaw just about dropped to the floor when you watered that!!! absolutely NEVER water a phal like that ( allowing the crown to get water in it) that is a sure fire way to kill one!!!

  • You're very lucky with your technique, as you must be draining off the plastic pot very well. The less troublesome method is to use a pot that has a lot of drainage holes in the bottom. This way the water drains off naturally and you don't risk any root rot at the bottom!

  • expertkillit..lol

  • @biosphere1000 guess the sense of humor didn't come across in my comment - I didnt mean to sound angry about it! but it is kind of a pity that the family has lost the ability to pronounce their family name. By the way I am not Dutch.

  • It's a pity you seem to come from Dutch decent but can't pronounce you name correctly ! it's pronounced Vane not Veen -  vane as in window pane

    Your great Grandparents from Holland will be spinning in their graves!

  • NEVER water your favorites with tap water...chlorine kills good bacteria in soil, fluoride stunts plant growth, salts slowly poison the roots.yes your plants will live (usually), yes they will grow new flowers etc. but if you want yur plant to FLOURISH treat it like your baby. distilled or purified water only...DONT use mircle grow, or any other synthetic fert. use organic as it doesnt kill the good bacteria in the roots and cause dependency for the plants. and tell them how beautiful they are:)

  • lol "if you kill it don't take it personally" lol

  • Cheers thanks for sharing!
