Pick a south window and water once a week

WalMart now carries them. You can get one for under $20.

@dede18 be careful they are very addictive

South window and I water them once a week. I start filling the kitchen sink with lukewarm water and add them to it. I wet the bark and set them in the sink, anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. Drain the water and set them back in the window. I fertilize once a month. 4 of them were 'distressed' sale plants and they seem to be surviving - at least I get to find out what color they are going to be

@Heidi68 You can also water them using ice cubes placed on the topsoil. It trickles down slowly and waters them perfectly.

@RavenCT I have heard that but haven't tried it. Am afraid to change my ritual since it seems to be working for me.

@Heidi68 I've been doing it for several years. I don't blame you for not switching if it works well for you!

I do the root soaking when I transplant them.

But the ice cubes have worked really well for me - this one is in it's third or fourth bloom. It would have done better but one of the kitties decided to knock it on the floor which knocked it for a loop. (Root shock). The little terrors!

@RavenCT I keep thinking about going for a hike to find a cool log. I want to put some of my smaller ones one the log - then I might have to do the ice cube thing.

Thank you

Thank you

Yes they are!
