Update on the high winds and the Rosa sinensis

[Wikibobo]

I've been watering once or twice a week, and Rosa perks up quickly.  I just have to figure out how much water to add because I'm having a bit of an overflow problem. Fortunately, I have hardwood floors, so it's an easy clean up.

Any advice for convincing the cat to ignore it, especially when I'm ignoring the cat?

We finally found some deep saucers to put under our indoor hibiscus. That works well as would self watering pots.

For cats I guess we've been lucky - 3 cats that don't do more than rub up against the odd stem and leave some cat hair behind. Anybody else have any cat repellant ideas?

Love cats but sometimes they try my patience.

I have two, or should i say two cats have me to serve their every need.

there is a product at home depot in the rug department, its clear carpet protector that comes in rolls about 2 to three feet wide. the bottom has many tiny plastic spikes to keep the protector from slipping around the carpet.

get some pieces, cut to fit around the plants and have the spikes turned up. the cats do not like to walk on the spikes. it will not hurt them. after a while, they will not go anywhere the plants. work of caution though, don't walk on the spikes in your bare feet. you will use some words that you forgot you knew.

Lou, that is a great suggestion. I think we need to create a new topic about cats and make your post the first one in it. My cats, who have access to the backyard, do not bother our houseplants, but I've heard that indoor cats can be a problem for houseplants. Need their chlorophyl fix perhaps. Anyway, thanks for posting.
