Plant Pot Deals & Offers

Great price op. Good advice from other posters.

Remember when it starts to freeze out side and pond temperatures drop the fish metabolism slows down kind of hibernate, bring you fish indoors, put then in a box and in the airing cupboard. In the spring they will be well rested and ready to go back out. Or, break up the ice to make somewhere for the gasses to be released, keep water flow flowing or air stone to keep water bellow the ice oxygenated.

Below-freezing is frozen, that seems a bit unlikely for a water based creature unless they can be reanimated upon defrost... I'll test with some fish fingers and report back.

We have the grand half moon of this, it is beautiful

Goldfish can survive below-freezing temps, they just need an air stone and some of the ice cover to be broken to allow harmful gases to escape.

Agree with all of the above, and I've found that when an orchid bounces back it can be even better. It's worth trying different growing mediums like bark and leaf mold. Many places now use bark nowadays as well as clear plastic (I've experimented with glass but if it's in the sun it can overheat).

If you water weakly, weekly and don't mind waiting for at least 9 months while tending to a drab plant, you usually get rewarded. Don't forget that the roots like light, so repotting in glass pot's helps.

I bought a multi-stem stem orchid from Hombase 2 years ago and has done very well reblooming. About to re-bloom again having had its previous flowers from Nov to last month! Bay window seems to help! Picked up a couple from homebase last week - 90% of the roots were dead on one so pick carefully, and give some TLC.

I bought a 4 stem orchid from Lidl 2 years ago & except for 2 weeks a month ago it had flowered continuously & is growing 2 more new stems. I have a windowsill full of orchids which have finished flowering & only occasionally reflower so I ve no idea why this particular orchid has been so amazing.

Its totally natural for orchids to finish flowering. It is not necessarily anything you are doing. Have a look on youtube for miss orchid girl. She does loads of beginner orchid keeper videos. I learned so much from her. Orchids do need different care to other plants because many types of orchids including the most popular one the Phaelanopsis, live on trees and not in soil which is why they are usually potted in bark and moss combinations rather than soil. :D Happy orchid keeping! Its so exciting when they bloom again!

I bought this and it was so flimsy it collapsed immediately . I had much back and forth with them and finally had a refund.

Thanks for posting :)

ordered - thanks for sharing @ajpwright (y)

Agreed - showing voucher there, albeit at 6.99 rather than 4.99

Mine is still offering the £10 voucher, discounting down to £6.99 which is still goooood! I would un-expire the deal!

Yep same on mine which is a shame as I quite liked these and the price was fab (annoyed)

....to make microplastic :)

Good l wish all plastic did this

Recycled :( means it'll crumble to dust in a few years

How many eggs can you store at a time ?
