Yeah, thanks, I think you're right. I may have put it 1/4 inch down, but when I watered it, I think she floated to the top. My bad. She's dead, and I'm sad , but her sisters are doing good.

That just goes to show that no matter how long you do this, it's still and art and science, and that you can never know everything.
