here's an odd one- Never thank a person for giving you a plant, or it will die; in fact, the best way to ensure that plant slips will thrive is to steal them.

My sister made that one untrue. Never seen a slip she was given not grow into something HUGE.
Too bad she couldn't/wouldn't see the forest thru the trees.
I may not have liked her all the time but I loved her and miss her. I hope where ever she is she's getting the help she wasn't able to get here on earth.

Never heard that one before...

Think I'll stick with politeness and honesty, seems to work best in the long run!

Had a big rubber plant when I was single. Got tipped over, Beer dumped in it, Butts put out in it. Mom took it when I went into the Army. Few weeks a big worm killed it.

My grandmother told me the same thing after I thanked her for a plant she'd given me. Didn't I go and forget it in the truck in the cold weather and killed it!

Mother gave me a Rubber plant when we married it would grow on or two leaves the drop the last two it was just plain ugly. We built a solarium on the south side of the house put the darn ugly Poland out there and in a month it was growing like crazy and we had to keep cutting it back. I guess they love hot weather.
