Thanks for the sympathies Jennyfleur and Roscie. I've put it down to experience and will (eventually) learn from my mistakes.

Sorry to hear about yours Rosie. I can guess how upset your hubby would have been, never nice when accidents happen.
I Think I may mount the Free-Running Phal soon. At least it wont tip over then

I live in hope that I (and others) don't have another "DUH!" moment for quite some time

(but I may just have jinxed things there)

ack I bought some peanuts today .you know the ones you put down in the bottom of the pots. Well I didnt pay any attention to what kind of peanuts they were.Peanuts are peanuts right?

WRONG...I put a few down in the bottom of a plant I was re building. Stacked some peanuts up in the bottom. Carefully laid my plant in the pot. Watered it in a little bit. My plant fell over right away..Hmmm..Damn peanuts freeking melted..

Ha ha! I didn't know you could get bio deg ones!! I'll have to watch out myself in the future!

My only DUH!! moment lately was a couple of days ago I was looking at my sophronitis purpurata (or laelia purpurata, if you prefer) which has been growing a nice little root steadily out of the pot for a couple of months. Well, I thought I saw some 'fluff' on the tip, so I pulled it off (as you do) - turns out it was attached to the tip and so, off came the tip. Now, it's stopped growing! So, no more perceived 'fluff' clean up for me in future!
