Pontsettias...life or death situation...

[Alice]

Hello DanielC, for a whole lot of reasons you don't want to hear about I dumped mine in the greenhouse and went on holiday and haven't looked at it since I came back a few days ago. Will look tomorrow. Shame on you Alice ! Maybe I'll be lucky.

Well....( shame faced....)..I have to admit that having re-read the thread again today that I'm looking forward to buying a huge, green and red, bushy plant in about 7 weeks !!!!!.....

Never had a lot of luck with these. I obviously don't provide the sort of TLC they require. I bought one just before Christmas several years ago and stood it in the middle of the dining table. Within days it looked wilty. I mentioned this to the nurseryman I'd bought it from. 'Is it in a draught?' he asked. 'Yes' I said, 'It's just in front of my mouth when I'm talking!'

Haven't bothered since.

Could have been at Christmas - usual tipple is G&T or red wine.
