GigiPlumeria said:Will do Lynn! I now think the one that I planted with the combo planter is doing good because the Amaryllis, paddle plant (or flap jack) , cordeline and Fireball Lily are all shading and protecting it from the brutal Fl sun nodding


Gigi, I saw that lovely combo planter you made. My only caution there will be the flap jack, that one does not like getting too wet either. I would consider moving that in a drier set-up.

Lynn Thank You! for the reminder. Yes, the majority of the plant in my planters do not like wet feet. I added a florida cordeline to the combo to drink the excess water. I'll keep a close eye on my planters now that we get the regular afternoon shower. I almost lost my 8 feet plumeria 3 years ago due to blocked drainage.

Oh my, that would be tragic to lose a plant that size.
