My brother gave me a Zinnia plant in one of those small plastic planters from the store.

I see the directions both on the card and on line but I still do not understand.

What the hell does "moderate" water mean?

Can it stay out 24/7 or do I need to bring it in at some point? I do not get anywhere near enough sunshine in my apartment.

Should I take the time and expense to repot it into a somewhat bigger pot? In other words how long will this last in this climate ( particularly now? )

If it helps with better explanation on where I am I am in Centralia in Lewis county.

I knew there was a reason I should not have looked at the news.

Love you champ. It was an honor to have you as one of our first pets.
