The oft parroted advice against 'over-potting' is usually issued by those who take for granted that you're using an excessively water-retentive soil and/or don't understand soil/water relationships. If they DO understand that relationship and DON'T take anything for granted, the advice will be qualified with the recognition that as your soil's drainage characteristics and aeration increase, the spectre of 'over-potting disappears. Over-potting needs to be guarded against only when using water retentive soils that support significant amounts of perched water (the water that stays in the pot AFTER it stops draining and causes that soggy layer of soil at the pot's bottom). When using soils that support little or no perched water, it becomes virtually impossible to over-pot. Using these types of soils allows you to achieve superlative growth and vitality, even if you pot very small plants in large soil volumes. This is a pivotal issue when it comes to consistently maintaining plants that grow well & in good vitality, so please ask if you want more information. Your plant would appreciate the free-draining and well aerated soil I described, that allows you to flush the soil with copious volumes of water at every watering w/o accompanying concern for root (rot) issues or impaired root function due to a saturated soil. It wants VERY bright but indirect light. Let the soil become quite, but not completely dry between waterings. Fertilize frequently but weakly with a fertilizer in a 2:1:2 or 3:1:2 (more commonly found) RATIO. Ratios are different than NPK %s. 24-8-16, 12-4-8, and 9-3-6 are all commonly used 3:1:2 RATIO fertilizers. Keep the plant warm. It will grow best at somewhere near 70*. Below 60 is too cool and above 80 is too warm for best growth. R-humidity higher than 40-45% would be helpful, but misting does nothing to improve humidity beyond the 5 minutes it takes the mist to dry. Al

Great story! At least, he didn't decide to change his name to "Adam", the only human who was never a fetus, according to the story of the origin of everything, in Genesis! The Hebrews loved a good story, that was play on words. The word "ad-em-ah" in Hebrew was "dust" ... and someone said that God took some "ad-em-ah", "dust", blew some of His/(Her) breath into it, and it began breathing, and S/He called it "Ad-am" ... which carries a parallel meaning of "Mankind" ... or a person called "Adam": the first man. ole joyful

Well today was my 33rd birthday and part of my family came up for the evening to watch the Huskers play football. My youngest sis came up early and helped us clean the house, which really needed it. I had to laugh at my sis that is prego with twins. She was going nuts that the cheese dip she made tasted weird, that something smelled bad in the living room and was so crabby. Boy am I glad that even though I am pregnant that first time around experiences early on are over. It seems that first pregnancy all that weird experiences play with your mind and you just know that you are right. I did ask DH and he said that yep I was that bad. It is just funny seeing someone else going through it especially after having gone through this 4 times. Stacie girlsingardens

Bigack, I'm glad it worked for you! Right after I'd hit the "submit" button I got to thinking that what I wrote is correct for Internet Explorer, but I don't know what browser you use, and I'm not familiar with any of the others...
