Thanks for asking,

You know, i worked on the DANA FARBER CANCER CENTER, Boston, and got to know lots of the doctors very well. A real eye opener. One doc said, of all the CHRONIC DISEASES, cancer is the most treatable. another one told me, how much he hated the word Cancer because as he said, it is not just one disease, it is a catchall word for many diseases, many of them totally eradicable within the body, but a patient hears the WORD and often goes bonkers.
Now, as the official List Jewish Mother, the one thing I need to know is that you are at a FIRST RATE FACILITY and all your doctors have won Pulitzer and Nobel prizes for their accomplishments at fixing your condition. And I know you will be FINE. this is all the reassurance I need.

At the Dana Farber, the pro radiation docs and the  pro chemo docs 
used to duke it out. this hospital did not even have a surgery suite, 
they sent the surgery people out and then started really treating them.

this was like thirty years ago and the rate of cures they were 
getting back then was ASTONISHING!

Grigsby, well I cannot prove it, but "Spikey" is not something which 
I can see slipping from the lips of Dave Grigsby!
he was not fond of cute names.

If in pots, and the sun blazing down on the sides, it could cook the roots if they get too hot.  So that is why they grow and near large rocks, so the roots can hide from the blazing sun in the wild.  Yes you are right and seem to understand everything that we attempt to write.  Norma


One of the horrid stresses of growing plants in containers is how HOT the root mass gets, the soil and everything. on some of our killer hot days, i have watered bamboo in black plastic 25 gallon containers and seen steam come up from the soil. the roots really want the constant temperature they would get in nature, whatever that would be.

Re: Algae Growing in Pots

Ooooooh, that phase, "scraped the... roots"  has such a nasty connotation.  I can hear those little root hairs yelling and screaming, "Stop!  What did I do?  You are killing me!"

Re: Algae Growing in Pots

The reason I scraped the roots is because I hate cacti, but not enough to pitch them when my C&S club gives them away as door prizes. :-)  If you think that's cruel, you should have seen what I did to a large aloe that had a broken leaf in the middle of the rosette. I reduced it from a 12" pot to a 6". I am ambivalent toward aloes.

Re: Algae Growing in Pots

Eeeek!  I read right over that word, "cactus" !  I thought you were talking about Sansevieria!!  

I totally agree.  Cactuses are for nerds that should long ago have been killed off - the cactuses, I mean.

Re: Hello everyone

They want to see if they can use drugs to stimulate the bone marrow to start working again first, before they look at other options. No plans yet.....
 
Thanks for asking :-)
