Thanks Southpark!

It's the only Catt I have right now, it's been a few years since my last one, I don't recall the others doing this though. I think it's done it every year I've owned it (2-3)...

Hi SouthPark:
It's a good thought. It's got a clear pot; the roots look good. They're white and plump, when they're not green, all through the medium and in the bottom. This summer I was...

Hi estación seca:

It's a good point. They're outside, 1 shelf below the top shelf. Here in Texas the sun is a fierce force, they're all screened by a 30% shade cloth, eastern sun. I did the...

Thanks for replying Carebear2! This is semi-hydro and the whole point is for there to be water at the bottom of the pot. If you look at the lecca picture, you can see all the roots are above the...

Thank you SouthPark, estación seca, camille1585!
