Hey Swords,
I would generally agree, but as myself and others have already tried to help concerning the first Ceph that was expressing distress as it was subject to poor conditions, I no longer think that the concern is really there. Via what was expressed in return for peoples advice and the attitude observed in following posts, it became obvious (to me and a couple others at least) that there was more to these posts than was being openly presented.
I too feel sorry for the situation these poor life-forms are experiencing. These are desirable plants to many here, and research has been done previously to find out which plants people here value most, before these were chosen and presented in the way they have been.
A lot of us have been here long enough to see when someone new openly introduces themselves, the plants they are growing and any problems they are having. It is interesting how things proceeded in this instance, and how a plea for help turned into the stance that has been exhibited.
While I am somewhat concerned about how people handle correctly identifying their plants, especially if they are going to potentially be trading or selling them to others some day, I am not all that bent about it either. But to me I see things going on here that are more than meets the eye, and it is that in which I am pointing out.
I have read all these posts from the beginning, and watched people sincerely try to help. I am not responding about this post alone, but considering all the posts together in order to understand the big picture.
There are other ones beyond this one also, and they are getting quite obvious and funny actually. I can't believe how far things are going with all this.
It no longer appears to me that there is a real and normal concern for these plants well being, as help has been offered for over a month now and it seems it has not been pursued normuch indication of any of it tried or followed, other than pruning dead leaves.
I guess I am just saying, I can appreciate the help you are trying to provide, but then, they aren't my plants! We can only hope that your advice is appreciated by others too.
