sunflower plants
« on: May 11, 2010, 12:40 »
asked my OH to buy some bedding and flowering plants on saturday and she came back with regular few and two sunflower pots £4 each  :ohmy:. cant believe how much money she has.
Anyway the pots are drying mad, yesterday evening they looked sorry so i put them in a tray of water and they couldnt suck it in at all. I watered them from top and all the water seeped down straightaway. did this 5 time to make it reasonable moist and let it in the garage for goodnight sleep. Cant pot them untill weekend. how can I maintain the moist in them?
One kid is handful. Two kids.... Example for chaos theory. Hats off to my mum who managed three...

If you've now got them moist, you shouldn't have a problem.

It's when the compost gets really dry that the water just runs straight through.

If it's still dry, plunge them in a bucket of water, rather than just a tray.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
