Haven’t seen a money plant for sale here. But that could sounds like a good idea :-)

Maybe I’ll have more money!

Then you should really consider to take care a kitten than a plant :p

Oh boy. I didnt anticipate that taking care of a flower would be so fastidious! All I thought was that I’d water it once a day and that would be enough. However does your mum keep up with 50?

Cart and I visited the florist in the evening and I realised that I watered the flowers too much …

Haha! I’m sure its not that bad!

For me, ehm, I have a neighbour next door that pops out every now and then so I feel a little ehm, a little self conscious.

Isnt it enough to give the flowers a hypnotic stare? Thou shalt bloom. Thou shalt not die.

YesssPecan

I didnt know about the panadol trick! Thanks!

And yes, I’ve killed cactus too! Gosh, it was overzealousness that did it! I overwatered it! Just like I overwatered my begonias I think!

Ok, I will learn to control myself and not pay too much attention to the flowers.

Nashe

Haha, I think I am the same as you, but I dont want to give up! Will try again till I’m somewhat acceptable at gardening :-)

Not coming back for national day though Cart and I are coming back in December! Whee! Cant wait! Did you know that there are a couple of bloggers who has a priority preview of the event? Pity. Only when I’m in Italy then all these blogger events start popping up :P

eKa

Sure, understandable. That’s what my hibiscus plants do too. It buds, bloom for one day and then dies. But I dont worry too much because others will bloom soon :-)

But my begonias … and my whatsiscalled name … not only the flower died, the entire freaking plant died!

STUMPBO

But flowers are much nicer mah … hehehehe

Must try! Never give up! Even cactus have flowers too!

Tales

Maybe you are the same as me? I managed to kill a cactus one time … I realised it this evening with Cart when we visited a gardener. I am overzealous at watering. Too much love kills too …

I agree with MKL and eKa. Each plant is different and requires different care, and some plants only bloom once and then die, whereas others come back year after year.

I’ve never had much luck with plants myself. The only thing I’ve managed not to kill is a cactus, and I came close with that.
