Wowza! Update, Part II

Just wanted to post a quick note to update you on how tall the canna lily has grown! I had to rig up some support with skewers and twine!

The lantana are doing well but the vinca were taking over. I decided to remove them, which meant refreshing the soil. I also used Solo cups in the bottom to create water reservoirs. I didn’t do much with my “sturdy boy” but the leggy lantana got pruned, big time. I put the clippings in to water — I mean, you never know, right?

I haven’t used any fertilizer. It’s just been potting mix, water, and light. I do think I’ll run the ceiling fan in the room when we go to bed, just a couple nights a week. Air circulation is important for plants!

I have a few videos for you, about what I did and why. End result, I think these Upotic Planters are doing a great job keeping my annuals alive. I mean, the holidays were busy and I wasn’t remembering to water!

If you have a Upotic Planter, I would love to hear how you like it and what you’re doing with it! Leave me some comments!
