The poor practice of overdyeing plants

There was a variety of fresh flowers, fresh floral arrangements and potted plants on sale for Mother’s Day. Tropical blooms, imported flowers, orchids and potted plants were on the market competing with each other. I must say they all had their followers.

The aftermath of dealing with them comes with a headache especially for first-time shoppers who have little or no knowledge on how to care for them. All week, I have had calls and visits from people in distress over their new plants. 

I have always suggested that persons get to know the sellers and read up on as much as possible on their plant purchases. Not everyone who sells plants knows about them; the seller may not be able to provide care instructions.
