Cactus plants

You can pick up a soil moisture meter for a few quid - such as the one at: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gardman-Soil.../dp/B000QVSI5M Though there were some of almost identical design in my local Aldi store this week at less than two pounds. The scale was marked for the optimal soil moisture state for both houseplants and cacti. I also have, but am not sure where they came from, some ceramic waterers as at: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/astral....mp/waterer.jpg They come in different designs and water by capillary action through the unglazed 'nose' from a reservoir in the body. They seem to work quite well with cacti. You might try a garden centre if little china figures nestling in your plants is to your taste. Mel. |
