I know that person! no pool though I just put my mounted mega phal right next to it. For inspiration. If that doesn't work... I'll try yelling.

I remind all mine that their flowers make me happy and a happy owner is more likely to take care of them and feed them than an unhappy owner!

or drown them. that is a story that'll stick with me.

i can always drown it in my fishtank

A quick update on my little guy!
On the left, the little original nubbin looks more and more like a spike, though I guess it's stalled as it hasn't grown at all. Now a new roots is forming alongside my spike on the left. There's also a new root forming behind the plant that you can't see. It apparently likes most of what it's getting!
I'll hold off on telling it about potential pool drowning. I feel it's tri-weekly waterboarding dunks in water is getting it done.

[Call_Me_Bob]

how wide are you leaves?

[zxyqu]

The longest is 3.5", total length is 6.75"

[Call_Me_Bob]

no, the width of the leaf. not how long..

[zxyqu]

Ahh. Sorry. The widest one is about 3/4" wide, most are at least 1/2" wide. Why you ask?

[Call_Me_Bob]

just wondering, yours seems large! mine is only 1/2" at the largest. maybe a hair wider skinny leaves but some are about 3 1/2"
