And so we meet again, Sirius! 
I'd originally attempted to respond to this post some time last week when I first saw it, but somehow the topic had been closed. I emailed the site and asked why - the response was that the closure had been inadvertent; so they opened it up again! Yaay!
As an herbalist, this topic intrigues me - although I don't really have much to contribute to the discussion.
A question: Why are plants considered "2D"?
As for growing plants, I am quite embarrassed to say I've neglected most of my house plants to the point where many of them passed on. It says a lot about me (the human me) that as good as I am at what I do, I fail miserably at taking care of beings who do not have some ability to care for themselves. I guess I'm just not a "total care" sort of person.
*shrug* I yam what I yam. (pun very much intended)
Anyway... back when I was actively and successfully caring for my house plants, I found they did a lot better if I spent time, at least whenever I gave them water (and sometimes just for the heck of it) focusing healing/health energy into them. Even for those who have no healing training this is not a difficult thing to do -- it's all about intent. I don't use my own personal energy for any kind of healing work; I draw the energy from outside my self into my hands - which is simply an act of will/intent - and use my hands to focus the energy where I intuitively feel it's needed. My hands usually warm up quite a bit while I'm doing this, and often I'll feel a vibration in my palms and fingertips.
A few small quartz crystals laid on the top of the soil plus citrine points in the water filter pitcher I used to filter the tap water before watering them (the citrine would sit in the water, at a minimum, over night) seemed to be really good for their health as well. It certainly is good for mine. I've come to discern between water that has thus been energized and water that has not; I'm sure the plants could tell the difference too.
Of course that last bit came sneakily close to being "watering advice"....
Please keep us posted as you explore this subject!
