My Davallia, Dave, just returned from his New England flower show triumph. He got a second place. I water him in the laundry sink. He is a large, old plant,I estimate about 15 years old. I ahave had him for about 8 years. I put him in water in the sink and water him with the spray nozzle of my hose. I let him sit in the water for about an hour and then drain the sink and let him drip out. He goes back to his stand in my sunroom. I do this about once a month. Watering him from the top is chancy business indoors without the sink. He has been well leafed out this year, hence his second place ribbon. he grew out a bald spot from last year's show where he only got a third place. I root little dave, Jrs. and they are a popular item at our garden club plant sale.
