Planting and care

Every leaf has a growth bud, so removing old flower blossoms encourages the plant to make more flowers instead of using the energy to make seeds. Clean away from around the base of the rosebushes any trimmed debris that can harbor disease and insects.Late in the season, stop deadheading rugosas so that hips will form on the plants.

Ageratum houstonianum care

After a good rain, find a spot that is the first to dry out. Water trapped beneath the scales may rot the bulb, so a well-drained site is essential.

Beautiful indoor plants

Plants came in beautiful and perfect. Would have given more stars for packaging if possible. All the plates were seperately packed. Plants were fresh, nice and lively. They were in small white mug size pot.
Delivery was prompt and on time which was very important factor for me as it was a birthday gift for my mom. I am happy and so is the birthday girl.

Perfect justice

Although i was very anxious and worried about whether the plants I received would be healthy or not.
When I saw the containers and the plants, i was so happy.. You should buy at nurserylive exclusively. The pink and the jade syngnoniun (however it's spelled) I ordered from another places were tiny in terms of size. The pot was adorable, but it too was small. However, the ones from nurserylive are large and healthy.. You can view the photos.
