Thank you :) That sounds like good advice. Only similar to what another friend has told me. Though it's not so much a partuclar plant I want to grow as not killing my bushes. But your advice should work for that as well.

On the up side, I do have a small succulent plant inside that I have managed to keep alive since mother's day, and it even appears to be getting bigger, so I'm quiet pleased with that.

It seems the biggest thing is to not be afraid of making mistakes, and to not worry too much about doing it "wrong".
