Thanks for help, yea I pretty much been following what has been advised to me in this post, I also have another Meltonia that I purchased at trader joes. The other one is red color flower with yellow coloration inside, that one I had separated in 2 different plants and its in same exact condition as this white flower Meltonia I was worried if it might have been some sort of an illness such as a parasite or fungus.. And as I mentioned above it is now repotted into small plastic orchid pot.

Hi folks, I took all of the wonderful information I was given and used it well. I took Stella out of her cramped condo and cut off 30% of her root ball. I then cut wedges into four sides of the root ball. I put Stella in a pot just slightly larger than her original pot with fresh potting mix in bottom and around sides. I used 3 cups of BioTone Starter Plus mixed into the potting mix. I watered and waited. I figured she would live or die. Well thanks to you good folks Stella is alive and beginning to thrive. She now has new leaf clusters on each of the old leaf cluster points. I will post updated photo soon. Now mind you Stella will not win any robust fig tree contest this year but she is 'in training'. Now for the final question - Will Stella survive if I put her in the ground in September?? Sorry to keep talking about this fig tree like a person but it has been quite an experience - I'm a total newbie at this. DL

It sounds like you could also substitute "Lite" versions of the cream cheese and Cool Whip, use skim milk instead of whole milk, Sugar Free pudding mixes instead of the loaded variety, to make this a little bit "lighter". But could you substitute light tub margarine for the stick butter? (Light tub margarine has no trans fats. I have yet to find a stick butter that does NOT have trans fats.) PS The name of the recipe may eventually have to be updated to something like "Better Than Johnny Depp Dessert", grin. Say "Robert Redford" to most of today's youngsters and they don't have the slightest idea who you're talking about! Always on the lookout for a good lite dessert, DonnaR/CA

Feel better those of you who are under the weather. The N95 disposable respirators can help protect you and others. If you're shopping or doing errands and you hear people (kids?!) coughing, gurgling and sniffing, get outta there! Shop when no one is around and sniffling kiddies (who touch everything, haha) are asleep at their homes. Use a tissue, then toss it right into the trash. I have this friend who I've not seen in a while, who would use a tissue, then return it to her pocket. I cannot express how that practice makes my skin crawl. Ich. It's worse than when people put their (been everywhere) handbags on a kitchen counter or dining table. (Hello.) Stock up on all sizes of that alcohol-based hand sanitizer. I buy large bottles to refill the purse/pocket sized bottles. I so abhor catching a head cold, that I can seem a little too Howie Mandel. However, it truly bugs me to come down with a head cold and the exhaustion and discomfort and time lost is a drag. If someone, in cold season, calls and wants to stop by, I listen for the cough, or the sound of a tissue being removed from the box. Maybe that's a catch in their throat that I hear? Didn't they tell me the week before that little Larry-Bob had a horrible cold? Hmm. Geez, sorry, we're painting the kitchen again -- perhaps another time. Here is the CDC influenza update link: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/ See if the cooties are beating a path to your neighborhood. Sounds like some of you are really struggling. I'm so sorry and hope you feel well soon.
