Will the miniature plants always stay miniature?
As long as the plant stays in the two inch pot, it will be confined to slow growth (i.e. bonsai). But as with all healthy plants, the minis will continue to grow and sometime it should be repotted to a slightly larger pot.


What
should I do after my mini blooms out? 'width' is a duplicate attribute name. Line 1, position 37.
Remove the old blooms to allow vegetative growth to begin.


How
often should I fertilize my mini? 'width' is a duplicate attribute name. Line 1, position 37.
Every 3 to 4 weeks.

What fertilizer should I use?'width' is a duplicate attribute name. Line 1, position 37.
Any quality water soluble fertilizer should work fine. Simply follow the directions on the package. But remember, fertilize only every 3 to 4 weeks.



My miniature plant is growing in a foam medium. Can I repot this plant in soil?'width' is a duplicate attribute name. Line 1, position 37.
The foam growing medium we use is a perfect growing medium because it allows 100% of the fertilizer to be available to your miniature plant. It also retains moisture longer than regular soil and it reduces stress to the mini during shipping. Naturally, the mini will thrive in soil and long term it should be repotted in soil.


How often
should I water my miniature plant? 'width' is a duplicate attribute name. Line 1, position 37.
As needed. Keep the soil moist. Do not allow the plant to sit in water for periods of 10 to 20 minutes.

I am seeing some yellowing leaves on my min. What should I do? 'width' is a duplicate attribute name. Line 1, position 37.
Remove the yellow leaves. I would ask myself two questions; 1. Am I keeping the plant too wet, or too dry? Is the plant getting enough light. Proper watering and light are the two biggest things you can do to assure the health of your plant.



Can I plant my miniature plant outside? 'width' is a duplicate attribute name. Line 1, position 37.
The miniature roses are hardy and may be planted outside in most regions of the country. The rest of the minis are primarily house plants, but with proper care can be outside during mild weather periods.

My mini
is in a foam medium (as opposed to soil) and the foam is getting hard. Is this bad for the plant and what should I do to keep it soft?
If your miniature plant is growing in a foam medium, it is very important to keep the medium firm, yet pliable. If you find that the medium of your mini is getting "hard" , then it is recommended, that you take a cup of water. Mix several drops of hand soap, or dish liquid, with the water. Then water the plant thoroughly with the water/soap mixture.

When
my mini rose blooms out, what should I do to keep it healthy and encourage it to bloom again?
Roses require high light to bloom again. Fertilize the plant every 2 to 3 weeks with any all-purpose plant food. Follow the directions on the fertilizer. Keep the soil moist, but not water-logged. When trimming/pinching the old blooms off, pinch back to a 5-leaf leaflet.


How long
should the bloom last on my miniature?'width' is a duplicate attribute name. Line 1, position 37.

Kalanchoe:               3 to 4 weeks

Chrysanthemum:    2 to 4 weeks

Azaleas:                    2 to 4 weeks

Roses:                       10 to 14 days (cantinas bloomer)

Cyclamen:                2 to 4 weeks

Poinsettia:                3 to 6 weeks

Begonias:                 1 to 2 weeks

Violets:                      2 to 4 weeks (cantinas bloomer)

Oxalis:                       1 to 2 weeks
The length of time the bloom will last on any plant depends significantly on how long it has been open to begin with, plus if the plant has received proper care. This is very true with miniature plants.

they real? 'width' is a duplicate attribute name. Line 1, position 37.
