We Bought A Flat, And Made It Our Home

[fairydust 0]

Hi fairydust, no I've not, yes, Lush n Xclusive are expensive, internet also not much cheaper, I'll go Hommage and talk to the boss Eric again....

Hi Blackcookie, thanks for dropping by my t-blog... .. Yes, I'll go and ask Eric about his minimum order and then update here or start a thread on the poines, but most probably I will not start a group buy, I'll direct members to Eric instead so he can deal direct... will see his price and conditions first

Will keep you guy updated on my findings, paying Hommage a visit next week...

Hi Kobelala, thanks for the effort in making a trip down to Hommage! can't wait to hear good news from you!

Ahh..

Having a balcony is nice, wish I had one..

Envious of you guys with a balcony..

Haha, I'm also envious of your Marble MBR restroom

Hi Kobelala, thanks for the effort in making a trip down to Hommage! can't wait to hear good news from you!

Hi Fairydust, no problem as I'm very keen to get the ponies...

Sis Marshy, I think I've over watered botht the plants, now they look "lembek" (in Malay) or in hokkien "ai si ai si" like that.... I've stop watering them for the past 2 days, and see if they become better.... am going to the nursery to check with the people there...

I gave them about 1.5 litres of water each daily.... I think that's a little too much, the plants feel "drowned" now need to do some research on how to take care of them properly....

Hi Kobelala,

I think its a great idea to put cactus at the balcony! I suppose they should be maintenance free? Like desert cactus? Im thinking of getting a couple myself for my new flat so will check it out at Kovan.. there used to be quite a few nurseries there but think most of them have shifted.

1.5 litres daily really seemed to be a lot.. how about rainy days?

Hi Zone23, thanks for dropping by our t-blog

yes, i agree that 1.5 litres is too much, I kept relating ths plants water consumption to my own water consumption... also when i bought it from the Kovan nursery, I'm attended by their Bangladeshi gardener.... when i ask him : "easy to keep this plant ?"... his reply was "very easy boss, just put water".... so I followed his instructions blindly... but wife heard him saying "just put water every 2 days boss"......

LOL, I think I'm quite nuts in a way to have over watered them..... but have learnt from this experience hopefully they won't drown, otherwise it'll be an expensive experience

1.5litres per day...I think he try to drown the plant la sister

Bro Kobelala, what the plants don’t like is water, water, water and no drain, drain, drain. The water must be drained off if the roots are to survive and not drown. The roots need oxygen to function properly, move nutrients, collect moisture and support the plant.

Cos the plants are slightly taller than me.... so i thought.... they need as much water as me... quite stupid of me LOL..... Yes, the rubbish chute is at 1 corner, we are still thinking of ways to hide it...

Hahaha Sis lady_R, yes I think I almost drown the plants but hopefully they are ok, seems like you got some experience in planting, can you share more tips ?? like when to water, when to use fertilizers... thanks thanks

Dear Bros n Sis, we are lookiing for these ponies.... but cheap ones, anyone know where to get ? We know that Lush n Xclusiv have, but the way they mark up these ponies is IMO pretty unreasonable.... Hommage Eric cannot import for me as I'm only getting 2....

Should be Big Size ones... ...

kobelala, did you manage to source for cheaper alternatives for the Aarnio Pony? it's really cute! Lush is selling it at $600+ which is so expensive.

Kobelala, you mentioned that Hommage couldn't bring in because you wanted only 2. Can I suggest that (if you really want the pony and haven't gotten them) you speak to Eric of Hommage and ask him how many minimum to bring in and if you can get a better price. Group buys will guarantee a certain amount of revenue for them anyway. You can post a thread here and see if you can get some response. The rest of us can also check within our circle for friends who are keen.

Dear sis n Bros,

I was at hommage today and spoke to Eric on the ponies, he'll be able to bring in the ponies with minimum order of 10 pieces, $350.00 each.... I spoke to him and he may accept order of about 8 pieces, and he can keep 2 at his showroom to sell...

His supplier is only doing Orange and green Pony.... 80cm in length... anyone confirm interested ?

We'll do a group order if we got enough names :

1) Kobelala 2 ponies...

350 is a good price Hmm...
