Yeah I read that exact same tip on a homesteading blog once. Changed my whole setup.

FOUR HOURS for a panel swap? That's brutal, buddy.

$15,000 seems like a pricey way to learn how to read.

Yeah @wade767 not all premium spots are equal though, the end of a row near the bathrooms pulls way less than the center of the main aisle in my experience. Have you noticed if yours came with natural foot traffic or just a higher price tag?

Ngl, my buddy Eric killed his orchid the exact same way a few months back. He was all proud of his grocery store phal and dumped water right into the crown during his morning coffee routine. Within a week that thing was mush from the inside out, leaves just flopping over like wet paper. He tried to save it by cutting off the rotted parts but it was too late, the whole stem had rotted through. Now he only bottom waters, lets the pot sit in a bowl of water for like 15 minutes then drains it completely. Honestly I've switched to bottom watering for all mine after seeing his mess, way less risk of water sitting in those little crevices. Just make sure your bark is chunky enough to drain fast or you'll drown the roots instead.
