Oh, noooooo, Ecuadog, maybe help Mrs. Ecuadog by getting a little sprinkling can and some Miracle-Gro in the single packs. (Those are great because you can just snip the end and mix in the right proportions. The big Miracle-Gro or the hose attachments do not work for me because I am a klutz and always get that blue stuff all over me and end up looking like a Smurf.)
You can help more by making sure there are holes in the bottom of those pots. A few rocks in the bottom will help with drainage, too.
But please do not give her those things as a present. While it is a very good thing to pinch the heads off flowers after a time, you do not want to get your own head pinched off.
