Probably a rose kampung after all :) But it blooms pretty flowers.<br /><br />I was told that tea leaves may not be as acidic as used grounded coffee but they are organic. Could try them on other plants instead. Oh by the way, I'm no longer with the Malaysian Rose Society. I have also sent an email to Ros Sifu but no reply from her till now. Maybe she's busy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02584806616760270126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199598360874806232.post-26226093636534503222012-06-10T23:52:55.470+08:002012-06-10T23:52:55.470+08:00A "Benson and Hedges" rose?

The roses seem to bloom radiantly after that. I'm not so sure what to do with the used tea leaves. Maybe you can post this question in Malaysian Rose Society group in Facebook or ask the Ros sifu.

Will be on the lookout for more :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02584806616760270126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199598360874806232.post-10667944326134871242012-05-29T09:25:39.907+08:002012-05-29T09:25:39.907+08:00I agree that the glazed ceramic pots are so much m...I agree that the glazed ceramic pots are so much more beautiful than plastic, even if they are heavier. I have a local store that sells them so much cheaper than the garden centers, so I always buy mine there.RobinLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09543576456983999997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199598360874806232.post-62224583088732406132012-05-25T14:35:04.150+08:002012-05-25T14:35:04.150+08:00Hi Ms Belle!

I used to laugh at my mom when she did that and now look at me..hahaha!<br />I hope I did a big favor for my rose, it's a 'benson and hedges gold' species. Yesterday, I buried small pieces of banana peel into the pot, just by the side of it, for potassium and phosphorus. It's ok right? <br />What about used tea leaves? Can I put it too as fertilizer? I heard contradicting comments on it so I dare not do so.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02584806616760270126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199598360874806232.post-6381238282374903282012-05-24T23:43:52.444+08:002012-05-24T23:43:52.444+08:00The glazed flowers are beautiful and they blend in...The glazed flowers are beautiful and they blend in with the greenery of your window garden. You are very smart to send your plants for repotting by the experts. Now, they are happy and cheerful. Like us, plants need the beauty treatment too. Yours just went for a pedicure. Now the roots can breath easily.Autumn Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818422090556602092noreply@blogger.com
