i work on the theory that all house plants should be just that - plants and they get planted in the garden. it is up to them what they decide to do - live or die.
I got mine a m&s voucher for€50 she loves that place so can get whatever she wants....no point in having a houseful of flowers that die when she can have something that lasts.
Have not been yet ...we did go to spend her Xmas vouchers....she got loads of stuff and was like a cat with the cream going home with all those bags !!
