     Hi Kay.......I really think they're beyond help.......why tho couldn't
I see them thru my magnified lens......you would think that something that
does that much damage you'd be able to see!! I already threw out about 15
of my plants......it broke my heart....but it just wasn't no use to 'save'
them :-(

      None that I can remember. I sent away for this REALLY GREAT MAT!!!
It's electric 'heating pad' so to speak....and when I get it I'm gonna take
alot of **HEALTHY** leaves....plant them up and put them on the mat....it's
said it does wonders with A.V. cuttings to get good strong root systems.
I can't wait!!! :->

  Sincerely yours,Anne,Sasha and Tex(the bare wonder)
     .....and Pepsee and Angel.... in God's hands now.
