Flower, A couple of thoughts: How did the roots look when you re-potted it? Were they white or brown? Most soil sold for av's is still too heavy. It needs to be lightened up with perlite and/or vermiculite. You could try re-potting it into a lighter soil, removing any brown areas and then bag or dome it. Also, you can take the sucker, pot it up separately and then bag it. They usually grow roots in about two weeks or so. I would not remove any leaves for now as your plant needs all the help it can get. Better damaged leaves than no leaves. Unless they start to go brown and mushy, leave them. If rot has set in, there is really nothing you can do. Try taking a leaf or two, soak in warm water with a bit of sugar and superthrive if you have it and then pot them up. Bag these as well. If your larger plant dies, you may have babies from the leaves. Good luck! Linda

Donna, the funny thing is the parents never took the babies to the woods like last year. They have been in my yard the whole time only hidden in the trees. I have heard the babies since they fledged. They are now starting to come to the deck. They haven't figured out where the mealworms come from yet, but I'm sure they will :) Karen

I wish I knew how to help you. I am so very pleased that you are helping this baby. I wish you all the luck in the world. i am sure we would all like to know the outcome.

Clutter is invited into my house on very very rare occassions. So that's never really been an issue of mine. "Hotspots" are a little more common on both mine and my husband's desks. I just distinguished a desk hotspot last night :) What makes or breaks my mood is a clean (or dirty) floor. So one late night on the computer, I stumbled upon a hard surface robot called Mint, by Evolution. It's a dry and wet cleaner. LOVE it! Bought another. It cleans my floors while I'm doing other house work or shopping or sleeping :) How nice it is to wake up in the morning (it makes no noise) to a freshly mopped kitchen :) A few years ago iRobot bought the Mint. It's now called Braava. Oh wouldn't it be wonderful if dishwasher unloading could be automated!
