Hi Butterfly,

I did use sterile scissors when trimming each plant by applying rubbing alcohol to my scissors. I was hoping to get another spike of flowers but I guess they might be too weak to do that at this point and the potting mix I think is not helping either. I will cut them and re-pot them in something better and hope I'll get some improvement. The smaller plant has rigid leaves but the bigger one the leaves are rather floppy. I think it's just the potting mix suffocating it. I unfortunately threw away the clear pot one of them came in but was smart enough to keep the second one. So should I re-pot one back in the clear pot it came in? Right now they are both in 6" ceramic pots.
