I have been putting off getting a new bag of soil and a few pots. I forgot the last time I was in Walmart. And it's far from my house so we don't really go that often. I have a Target and Home Depot right down the street. I usually end up paying a little more but it saves on having to drive over and deal with the traffic.
Right now I am browsing at Home Depot's website to see what the damage to my wallet is going to be. I am thinking I have to get a big bag because I have a few I need to re-pot. The Lemon Tree really needs more dirt. It doesn't need a bigger pot because I didn't fill it all the way. I bought the pot a little big so I wouldn't have to get a new pot so fast. However, if I do it I am for sure going to bring it in. I don't want the new soil to get bugs. I need to get a new pot for this plant I bought at Fry's last month, it does not seem to like the pot it came in. I was hoping to get away with leaving it in the one it came in until spring. It is in a hanging pot now so I would like to get a hanging planter for it and the main spider plant I have. And, I have to re-pot the False Aralia and a few smaller plants need fresh dirt.
So with 6 plus plants needing some TLC I am sure a big bag will be needed. If there is any left over I will just have to remember to close it up right so I don't waste it like I did the last bag. I want to get the good stuff too. I have learned that you don't want to be a penny-pincher when it comes to your plants soil. You will just end up buying more of cheap stuff so spend the money upfront.
I will get pictures of what I end up buying, and how much I spend.
