ubza_1234 Posted December 23, 2010 i ordered some pet plants a while back and finally got them for christmas! yay! but a lil too late for what i wanted to do with them. http://www.aliexpress.com/fm-store/102788/210237387-360521795/100X-pet-plant-PET-TREES-Plant-selection-Mobile-Phone-Charm-cell-phone-straps-keyring-handbag-accessories.html i only bought 5 by the way, not 100, anyway.. i wanted to pull out the cactus and put cuttings from my own plant, lets name her sally for now, and then send some away for christmas to the quickest person on the plant trade topic, here but alas, i only recieved them a few days ago so i havent got time to check they will survive and be fully rooted when i ship them out. i guess i not need a reason for shipping them out, even tho christmas is a good reason. oh well... i'll post a thing up when there all healthy 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll take everyones name down that have shown interest here in a pet plant and pull names out of the hat there, so i got whitnesses and that ;) everyone will have an equal chance that way. Even you rahli. I'd give you a potted pet plant if you were in my state, but your not Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ubza_1234 Posted December 27, 2010 i still have the box they cam in so it will look very nice and professional when it makes it to the winners door; like a bought one! which it is.. i guess.. the only prob is it's mostly in japanese or chinese or something, but i guess you plant heads should be clever enough to work it out. lotsa water and a lil sun and she'll be right! the lil cuties..

incognito Posted December 27, 2010 how does the potting mix in the lil pot not get emptied with plant when the capsule is swinging around on ur phone/bag/whatever? good idea. i bet not many plants survive the capsule! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ubza_1234 Posted December 27, 2010 the capsule has 5 parts: the cover the pot/cup the soil in the cup the plant in the soil the rubber ring everything but the rubber ring is pretty self explanatory from the pics. th trick is in the soil and rubber ring. first the soil is packed in quite tight so it cant realy fall. as well as this, there is a stiff rubber, perhaps soft plastic ring that sits around the base of the plant, held above the soil and wedged into the top of the cup. if you nook carefully at the pic, you can see this ring. this leaves a lil, roughly 10mm hole in the middle of the ring for the plant to grow in. as long as its packed in propperly, it doesnt seem to fall too much into the capsule Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ubza_1234 Posted December 27, 2010 actually, the pic shows a lil crap has fallen in the capsule Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J Smith Posted December 28, 2010 Hi ubza, Can I have my name in the hat too please, or do I have to attend the Melbourne meet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dworx Posted December 28, 2010 Hope my name went in?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ubza_1234 Posted December 28, 2010 so far its 4 names now, that includes you madhouses, plus whoever wants to be in it at the melb plant meet. The melb meet Just seems like an appropriate place to draw it less then 3 weeks to go before the draw! Sorry its so far away. I dont even know if they will survive, i hope they do. Hopefully they do, but dont worry, if they dont the winner will still get something good. Be sure of that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
