How To Manage Your Collection

Many new growers can quickly become overwhelmed with the number of plants they are caring for.  If watering your plants is becoming a chore, it may be time to reduce your collection.

Examine your plants one at a time.  If it is not growing well, the center looks funny, you may want to take a leaf and start the plant over.  Then throw out the old plant.  If you are not in love with the variety, give it to someone else or donate it to a nursing home.

When grooming and removing outer leaves, throw these old leaves out.  DO NOT try to propagate them.
If you are propagating leaves, DO NOT pot every baby plant.  Save only the strongest two.

Aim to have only 1 light stand and don't crowd the plants.  AVs need room to grow.  Remember, this hobby is supposed to be fun, not a burden.
