Bad habits? What bad habits? *whistles innocently* Seriously, I think my worst is a lack of patience. Instead of waiting for what I have to grow up and flower, waiting until I have the culture right,...

I'm guilty of all of the above (except the labeling, I'm pretty diligent when it comes to that) But my worst is repotting. I was so overwhelmed with my huge collection that I shut down and did nothing...

For me, it's going overboard. I can't have just 1 good, double, red standard - I have to grow 10 different ones and choose my favorite. That's not a habit I'm likely to change. Worse is killing a...

Definitely, watering is my biggest fault - either too much or too little. But I am definitely getting better. Second - not being able to discard any babies or leaves, no matter how many I have of the...

Guilty, guilty. I'm also very guilty of finding an awesome plant by a particular hybridizer and then thinking that I would love every plant by that same hybridizer and all of their plants would all...

My guilt is just plain wastefulness. Since I spent 3 years trying to get rid of my soil mealies I now buy with the intention of throwing out plants when infected with this silly but sturdy version of...

My biggest mistake probably has to be neglecting my violets. I sometimes forget to water some of my violets and I can see the leaves get droopy. This usually happens when it's midterm season and I...

Insomnia is having it's way with me, so I'm lulling myself by pouring over old threads I've not yet read. WOW!!! Violet, your photobucket was astounding. Several more AV's went on my "wish list."...
