Landlords generally suck. I've been told crap like this in the
past. Stupid. After all, what's a backyard FOR, if not to grow
plants in?

My apt. complex is going to have the exterior power washed then
painted over the next week or two. I now have to move my CP to
the middle of my `yard', and hope the painters don't get them.
I will put poly over the anti-fauna cage on 3 4 sides of the cube
to hopefully keep windblown pollutants out. I'll be leaving one
open side to keep heat buildup down. Here's hoping....

'trailing' is supposed to be a feature with this plant isn't it?
My single plant in a slack-pot long ago started trailing. It
produced 4 blooms this year, and from the leaf nodes below the
blooms I now have more, vertical, growth. it looks like a couple
of new plants, but of course isn't. I'll now see if my plant lasts
past blooming, but so far it seems happy.

On other fronts:

- one of my "dead" D. falconeri may be coming back from the
roots in my work setup under lights.

- my dead D. prolifera is also coming back, unfortunately with
aphids. Time to spray before they infest the rest of the
terrarium.
