What's "worm tea"? or is that a typo and you meant "warm tea"? Both are confusing to me in this context. I guess I'd rather drink warm tea myself. Not as good as Hot tea, but probably better than the other choice.

Ha. I thought the same thing initially. I had to read up on it. It's actually a type of fertilizer/water mixture, made from basically a tea of worm poo. I'd recommend googling it, as it's an interesting read about how to make/use/store it.

Mine came today!!!

It's not as big as most of yours. It's largest leaf is only 4" and the plack it's on is 6x3. It not a new mount, as it has roots attached to the wood. But it's not established enough to remove the fishing line. its perked up some since I watered it.

Question- how firm are the leaves on yours? Mine aren't too firm

Bob, mine weren't either when I got it, but it is coming along nicely. I believe that you and I got ours from the same place. Give it a good soak in the morning and then mist it a couple of times a day. Should perk up in no time.

I've been having some strange dreams the last week or so, but, like you say, so long as you remember that they're just dreams

Ysa, it looks like you had fun at the show, I guess we'll all have more of your pretties to look at soon

.... so, I'm just curious (in case I've missed someone's post), am I the only one so far with a potted Gastro?
