Where I used to work, many moons ago, the receptionist asked me if I knew what was wrong with the plant on her desk.

Before I got too near it, I could smell it...... absolutely rotten, and lots of little bugs flying around it.

She said........ "I know tea is good for plants, do you think I gave it too much?"

I asked the obvious.......... "Do you take milk and sugar in your tea?"


Yes, she was pouring the slops from her milky, sugary tea on the poor plant... and yes, it died.

I'd never do that - I drink ALL my tea up :-)

Sylvia - every 2 or 3 weeks!!! Mine have to tolerate drought conditions.

I have a variegated agave baby I bought back from mum's garden in Portugal.
Mum died in December 2013.
That agave is still in the pot (no soil) I put it in when I extricated it from my suitcase. It gets watered (flooded) when I realise it's totally dry - I have no idea how long it has had no water :-(
It's (amazingly) still alive and slightly bigger than when first put in the pot.

I bought some sand about 2 years ago to plant it in.......one day I'll do it.
I just need a very small terracotta pot now.......
