Make certain that your pot has a drain hole and install a few inches of stone over it covered by a sheet of Landscsping fabric to keep the drain open.

Purchased the pot on sale and the plant ($140) at Village Palms on 466 & Rolling Acres Rd.
those are pretty but full of thorns and also very messy with the flowers when they drop off........they dont need lots of water otherwise they wont bloom i will never have any moving forward
