[quote="talha.bin.ayub"]That's a hard question. As u can see I have them in a cement pot filled with peat moss. I didn't take them out of their small plastic pots and placed the pots in the cement pot. My dripper was placed in the cement pot and not in any of the plastic pots directly. So any moisture these got was from the bottom hole of their pots or from rain.
Low the watering was pretty low overall


It is a lovely arrangement. I would like to re produce it. What I gather is that;
You bought the plants which were in small plastic pots and placed them in this container filled with peat moss only.
My questions,
Size of the original pots in inches?
The medium in original pots?
Did you change the original medium? or just placed it in peat moss.
How many small pots of each colours are there in this container?
Fertiliser, quality and quantity?
Regards

Sir these r 3-4" pots. The medium in these is only peat moss. I never added any fertilizer. Whatever part broke off I poked it back in and it seems to have rooted. These are 4 pots in the 14" wide cement pot

I m sure u have seem these. Apparently these come from Europe? And the small plastic pots are same for each. They are usually sold for 1200-2000 each pot. But I don't buy them from garden centre when stock freshly arrives and the nursery traders are asking for high prices. I got them when their blooms had somewhat faded and the nursery people had gotten their desired profits apparently so the lower price

But it's only garden center in model town who offer the lower price. A person named ashfaq there

Not the Diamond nursery, many other nurseries have them... Diamond nursery is only an import based nursery and not the biggest.. these Kalanchoes were imported 5-6 years back and were 1000-1200 per pot... but the local nurserymen propagated them extensively in local soil.. the rates are reducing every year..

[talha.bin.ayub]

I m happy to hear so:) it's a pity we waste money on importing the same plants every year
