Re: Flower baskets


You should not feed it for about 4 weeks if you have top dressed it Mags....mine was in the greenhouse all winter...but twice the glass was smashed with the wind...its growing well now, but not as big as yours or Kazz's...

Re: Flower baskets


I think you two are spoiling your Acers mine will start getting jealous and moving on out.....I stick mine in soil and if in a pot make sure it has enough water on hot days....thats it.....no food no fleece, just a change of the compost on the top every now and again.......
