I love potted plants as they can be moved around if they outgrow the areas they are in. I enjoy changing my gardens around as the growing season progresses.Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032033918798053005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-26974263730005965172015-03-16T00:21:13.347+00:002015-03-16T00:21:13.347+00:00Euphorbias are a favourite of mine because they do...Euphorbias are a favourite of mine because they don't need much (if any) looking after.

I bought a pack of diapers. I take out the stuffing, put it in a bowl and wet it. Then I shove it into the soil and add more soil. All those little crystals that trap urine work equally well for holding water and keeping the plant moist between rain and watering. Using potted plants dry out too quickly outside which is why I think most fail. They even sell those "magic" little crystals at nurseries. A friend taught me this and we both have thriving pots at locations we are not at full time.Razmatazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757164543598076420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-69791524131873289742015-03-15T12:46:41.307+00:002015-03-15T12:46:41.307+00:00There are over 2000 species of Euphorbias in the w...There are over 2000 species of Euphorbias in the world.
