Plastic containers will look dull after some time and need to be replaced. <br /><br />I so sorry to hear about your rose plants. I am still learning lessons, brushing up my selection/observation skills in the process. Imagine having to spend more money on pest control when we get an infested/unhealthy plant.<br /><br />I find that it is better to identify the vendor - I mean if you find vendors that sell good quality plants, always go back to these vendors and experiment with any new plants they have when you are feeling adventurous. <br /><br />Eg: 1. The plant is blooming and vibrant at the store but it start to deteriorate within a short while after we bring it home. Then we get desparate and spend more money on pest control and fertilizers and loose hair and sleep over our 'poor management' of this plant. Soon it died and we blame our inexperience. Now I know that it is an unhealthy plant I have purchased but it is not easy to spot the signs. <br /><br />2. I buy a not so perfect looking plant from my "Approved Vendor List" and it survives for a long time. I have roses that are still blooming, my azaleas survived for more than 2 years and some of my hibiscus more than 6 years. This hibiscus is getting stronger without the need to water or fertilize it! Now I am able to enjoy the company of butterflies and sunbirds feeding on the hibiscus flowers from the transparent door of my living room. Peace of mind and improved confidence - It's the VENDOR!Autumn Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818422090556602092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5391999422199608913.post-81962377506869462482012-08-03T12:54:11.939+08:002012-08-03T12:54:11.939+08:00I have a big dark brown plastic container which I ...I have a big dark brown plastic container which I bought with its chrome stand. I'm using the same concept as you, to put flower pots inside :)<br />Speaking of roses, mine is all history now :( Even the nice pink ones which you like too in my last post, all gone. Kena tipu la Ms Belle. The pot was already infested with zillions of redmites when I bought it. I thought I saw something but the nursery was quite dark so I can't tell much. After I sprayed with Baba pest repellent, the true story unfolds. And it was an ugly one. Had to throw it away the next day, so sayang, but what to do. I don't want them spreading to other plants. <br />Take care Ms Belle not to buy heavy vase, need to consider our backbone. Not getting younger maa :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02584806616760270126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5391999422199608913.post-38216419206123012322012-08-02T16:58:55.288+08:002012-08-02T16:58:55.288+08:00Ash, I'm glad you my greetings ;-)
You can see...Ash, I'm glad you my greetings ;-)<br />You can see some examples of glazed ceramic containers in the last picture. I bought the white and brown colours. I use them as decorative containers, i.e. I put my plant planted in a plastic flower pot inside these containers. This way it is easy to change plants , mix and match according to my whims and fancies. The white containers can be used for English styled gardens, for your roses. The good thing about these containers is that it is easy to wash off any dust. They are not heavy but my Chinese designed vase is quite heavy.Autumn Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818422090556602092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5391999422199608913.post-72341831547133968572012-08-02T12:27:43.738+08:002012-08-02T12:27:43.738+08:00Thanks for wishing us "Ramadhan Mubarak"...Thanks for wishing us "Ramadhan Mubarak".

Lot 21 (landscape plants) and 22 (foliage plants) are indeed my faves.
