Well, it was raining for months straight, then I put the pot outside to get rained on, and the daily raining cycle immediately stopped. Go figure. It rained once on it in the couple weeks it was out there. Anyhoo, yesterday I gave up on waiting and used almost an entire gallon of distilled to pour over it, then I brought it to the back porch to repot the plants into it. Man, I just TOOK that plastic pot OFF of it, piece by cracking piece. Made it alot easier.. otherwise there was gonna be no possible way to get those plants out of that pot. Anyway, I repotted it into the large pot.. wow, what a depletion of distilled water, trying to wet that soil. The frickin' water drained out of the pot before it soaked into the dirt!! For crying out loud, I had almost a gallon of distilled water spread across the floor by the time I was done. Anyway, since the dirt still wasn't wet enough, when we got hit by a Hurricane Dennis rain band, I put it outside to get rained on. For some reason it rained on one side of the yard, and on the side I set the plant, it rained very little once I put it there. It's all against me, I tell you.
