		<description>Sophia, when we first moved in Rob's colleague gave us a pair of Jade plants - and like the crystal they are supposed to bring healing and protection!

Neil, save the planet, buy a watering can! It's more fun anyway and you get to control how much water each plant gets (all different).

When flowers wilt, cut them off so the plant takes up less energy to try to make them drop off. Or something like that. The flowers should also bloom more often that way.

You should get some orchids, they are very low-maintenance and hardy and beautiful! (national flower of Singapore :)</description>

		<description>Plain Jane -- Sophia already knew that about pesticides and cancer, and even asked her doctor.  That's why she wants ME to spray everything outside while she leaves the house for several hours.  Of course, I asked her, "What about MY health," and she said I shouldn't be concerned.  Hmm....</description>

		<description>Home use of pesticides may be linked to cancer and Parkinson's, its not worth the risk and there are plenty of no/low toxic alternative.  Especially since the lovely Sophia has already had a bout with cancer.

Check out pesticide.org for alternatives, for example, here is the link about aphids http://www.pesticide.org/aphids.pdf</description>
