OK all of you experts on miniature avs. Help me please. I have recently purchased some beautiful miniature avs and I would love to keep them healthy and happy. I printed a sheet from the Pittsburgh AV Society that says miniatures tend to rot using wick watering. What is your experience with watering miniature av?

Second question. All of the mini avs I recently purchased have leaves that are growing upward with long stems. There are several rows of leaves. Do minis grow differently than standards? Should I remove leaves and create a round-evenly distributed leaf base for the plants?

Thanks for your help.

Nanna
