          To be fair at our local Wilko's store they always care for the plants, I've seen them watering, misting and even dead heading, its the best care I've seen any store show towards their plants.....:love30: :dbgrtmb:

          Aldi on the other hand are shocking, no watering policy, zip, when they die they die..:mad:

              Your lucky Bilbo, the Wilkos in Weymouth and Poole are a plant graveyard.

              Noooooooo!!!!!!!! :gaah:

              I hoped you stopped that person. I've had some good results from plants knocked down to silly prices once they'd attained the status (and clearly labelled!): "dying". That "someone" is, potentially, denying me a bargain! :th scifD36:
