Well, that’s good to know! I guess if you think about it, it does makes some sense! The pup was already established with roots and stuff compared to top that has to start growing it’s own roots and isn’t established. So now I’m glad I bought some already growing plants! I should have a better start then! Hey, either way you should end up with a nice plant though!

OMG! You comment about planting spiny plants under the window is hilarious! I love it! You’re right it certainly would cause them to not want to bother with you or your house! Great idea!
