Jobe's 5001T Houseplant Indoor Fertilizer Food Spikes, 50 Pack Review

Plant spikes have been around for just about as long as house plants have. They are one of the oldest ways of fertilizing potted plants as there is going. (Someone with roots in their blood once told me that solid fertilizer preceded the liquid variety by quite a respectable amount of time. The liquid variety being easier, but not necessarily better). A lot of folks don't seem to use them anymore since liquid fertilizers mixed with your regular watering are so much easier. My own experience with both is that the solid, slow dissolving spikes last longer, feed the plant the nutrients more efficiently over the longer amount of time, and genuinely do a better job of giving your plants the extra boost of good stuff all house plants can use. I am not a horticulturist and certainly do not claim to know this is a fact over a reasonable theory. What I do know is I have some the biggest, richest, and healthiest house plants I have ever witnessed among my many peers that dabble in the home spun gardening trade as well. I stopped using liquid fertilizers years ago and have had excellent results with these spikes. You thumb them down just under the surface every couple of months and watch your house plants love you for it. I highly recommend the Jobe fertilizer spikes, and, I also recommend that if you can't or don't care to locate them locally, that you buy them in bulk here on Amazon and make the shipping worth it. Made them part of a bundle package with something else and they ship for free at the time of this writing. Try them for just one or two of your plants and see if they don't make you smile...

A 5+ Year Old Juniper Bonsai Tree in Japanese Setku Bowl Review

A 5+ Year Old Juniper Bonsai Tree in Japanese Setku Bowl
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
What nicer thing to hear than your best friend telling you that his husband blurted this out with a big smile when they opened the package I sent them for their anniversary!
I had decided only days before I placed the order that I wanted to give them a bonsai tree if I could possibly afford it. I was pleasantly surprised to see how reasonable this tree was, but admit I was worried: could it possibly be as lovely as the picture?
It was! The lovely juniper bonsai was almost an exact duplicate of the online image, with the same graceful lines and attractive traditional bonsai bowl.
And although there was no option to enclose a gift card when I checked out (which is something I suggest the seller correct) I sent an email asking if a gift note with my specific wording could be added. The seller did so: accurately written and at no charge.
In addition, my friends received their gift at the very earliest date within the window of time projected.
A wonderful gift at good price; delivered with better service than I could have expected.
What more could you ask for?

Sugarloaf Pineapple Plant - Ananas - Great Indoors/Out Review

Sugarloaf Pineapple Plant - Ananas - Great Indoors/Out

10/31/07
I received the live pineapple plant (about 8" tall in a 4" pot) well-packed in excelsior with masking tape over the top & sides of the pot to keep the soil from falling out. The very tips of some of the leaves were extremely brown & dry, but, otherwise, it appeared to be in very good shape. I trimmed off the brown tips & transplanted the pineapple by itself into an 8" pot & spread glass rocks over the soil as mulch. The pot is sitting on my back porch -- southern exposure/full sun.
11/27/07
The plant started fading to a sickly yellowish-green & the leaves that I had trimmed were dying way back, so I drastically cut back on my watering, since the soil seemed to be retaining far too much moisture. The pineapple hasn't completely recovered, but the center leaves have retained their shiny/green color & there appears to be new growth. So here's hoping ...

Truly Tiny Banana Plant - Musa - Great Fruit-24" Height Review

Truly Tiny Banana Plant - Musa - Great Fruit-24 Height

I was skeptical about ordering a live plant online, but I took a chance because I liked the novelty idea of the dwarf bananas. The plant arrived in a timely fashion and was packed well with plenty of water in the soil (although the picture is definitely misleading on the size you receive). After letting the plant recover from shipping for two days I transplanted it into a large pot and within a week I already had new foliage that sprouted. It's doing very well in my dining room.
I ordered a dwarf pineapple plant from the same company that also seems to be coming along nicely. I'm definitely pleasantly surprised and rather happy with my purchases!
