Ok we are all bored while we are being told to stay home, so lets trade sage gardening advice. You know, that advice you always got/get from people who you consult for help, or from mentors that you have had over the years of your plant addiction that particularly stayed with you.

Here is one of mine. This was imparted to me by a plant mentor whose advice almost always was totally correct. At the time, she was about 20 years older then me, and we were shared lovers of all things heliconia. I was growing over 40 different species and cultivars.

"It's almost impossible to kill a heliconia with overwatering when its planted in the ground planted in the ground, but very PROBABLE that you will overwater and kill a heliconia planted in a container." And this is truth.
