My peach miniature rose, doing very well. It is now blooming again.

How do you get those glass bulbs to work, Raquel? Mine kept draining out within a day--not much use for long term watering!

I've found it depends on how dry your soil is and how much direct sun your plants get. Some of mine drain within a day as well, and when I've changed the soil or tilled it to plant something else I found the top layer wet, but not the middle. That may be why so many of my plants died. So now I water with a watering can and use the globes as deep-pot watering...some of my globes can last up to 2 or 3 days, but not the week the ads mention. You might also have a micro-climate, as I do on my balcony. It was downright chilly today outside but on mybalcony, with direct sunlight, it was still a toasty 90 F (almost 30 C).

Well, mine was in a Bamboo Palm (Chamaedorea seifrizii) on a shaded patio, but the temps were more like 110 F (a little over 43 C)!

Well, that's how it was in July-August and part of September....just horrible. So I sympathize.
