My wife loves to buy plants for home HD or LO's. Especially if her parents are coming over or friends for dinner. She has to get plants to "dress up" the deck.
She'll water them and keep them looking good for about a week and then poof, nothing.
Last year she bought serveral Poinsettia's for the Deck for Christmas, and also someone had a real nice small azalea plant sent to her at the Church. (She's the Childrens Director at our Church).
Well I dont think she watered any of them once. The other day I noticed they were all looking droopy, and wilted. In all of the plants but one I sprinkled in a "dash" of Plant Wash and watered. The other one I just watered.
The next day, all the plants that got the "dash" of plant wash looked as healthy and alive as ever. The one with the water only, took about 2 days before it started to come back around.

Remember I mentioned I have a hort degree? I spent 7 years in that industry. Now I know how to grow plants and really kill them. The SoftWash Systems TM Plant Wash TM was what I always wanted to brew up b ut never had the time. We just used a generic version of miracle grow and ran with that. When I got off the merry go round two years ago I finally had the time to refine and impliment some of my dreams and the Plant Wash TM was one of them.
AC, I had a customer's nandina's loose the leaves. All the rest of the plants are fine. How long should it reasonably take for the leaves to return? Customer of course is concerned, but I want to give them a reasonable expectation.
