HollyAnnS said:I use water crystals in all my containers, a real plant saver for me. Years ago when I was still working I would see a plant on my way out the door and think when I get home I have to water that. By the time I got home they were languishing. Then I started mixing water crystals into my potting soil and never had that problem again.
These are my new head planters, I was looking for something kind of hair like but I just fell in love with these Sparks Will Fly Begonias,
Yeah, I do the same thing - "I'll water them when I get home..." Never works. Seems like I should figure that out and change my ways at some point. The moisture control potting soil has the crystals in it - and they do help for sure, but the pots still need to be watered when they need it! Duh!
