Well I love you loads Vanessa, But don't you to Lyn. I have had these plants 11 years and there still here. They were house warming present 11 h ears ago and the palm tree has four branches about an inch thick and about sic feet tall. The rubber plant had reached the ceiling which is about 8 feet high. So I had to cut it right back to about 1 foot highr. Did you know that when you cut a rubber plant you have to bandage it or you'll have sticky rubbers glue all over the place. Anyway I cut it back and now it is about 2 feet away from the ceiling again. So I must be doing something right. Follow that one tit marsh. Hehehehehe. love Malcolm. xxxx.

A CRY FOR HELP Hi Plant Lovers I'm writing on behalf of 3 very thirsty plants which belong to Malcolm Bowker. Well, these plants,which include a rubber plant, live in Malcolm's house and sadly, they're withering away, due to the fact that he keeps forgetting to water them. I don't know whether there's a society for neglected plants, like there is for animals and children, but I do know that without water they're slowly dying. I'm hoping that you kind people out there will take pity on these poor defenceless plants and shame Malcolm into watering them once in a while, 'cause when all's said and done, they're living things and deserve a bit of tlc before it's too late.
