Hi everyone.... [wayey] [gabby]
I finally gave up on my ZZ plant...I put it outside in our -10 [Frown] weather and it went off to my garage...
I did everything i was supposed to...I even gave up watering it for a month..Each day another leaf would turn yellow and drop... [Frown] I think i will stick with pothos and spider plants....ZZ isn't so "easy" to care for after all....oh well.. [Razz]
Stay warm everyone.. [flower] Greg [angel] [lala]

sorry 'bout your zz greg. but you gave it a good fight, and its death wasn't due to lack of trying! now, if i could convince my spiders and pothos that i mean well... never had trouble with spiders before, but they sure don't like me right now!

Thanks for the update greg even though it didn't turn out for the best! [angel] I haven't seen any here yet...but haven't really looked.

You peaked my interest now....and might have to give it a try! I feel a challenge...ZZ vs. Catlover! [Big Grin] I'll let you know when I find one!

I know what you mean about the spider plants...Mine was really taking off when i had it out all summer..then when i brought them in all the big leaves turned yellow and i started out again with little ones! [dunno]
Oh well...I never knew my apt. would be such a challenge to grow things in! [gabby]
I hope u have better luck with the zz's when u find them.. [thumb]
