Bloomsz

[AnthonyRibis]

Was in Home Depot and came across Bloomsz, they were aquatic plant you can buy for like $10. They offer a few different types. Wondering if anyone has tried them?

Never heard of them. What do they look like?

 

[sissy]

never heard of them either

Folk have been shipping bulk plants in cheap from places like China, chopping them to bits and putting them in fancy schmancy boxes for some years.

Same old wheeze, pot luck if the badly shrivelled stumps do anything. For some time

Bloomsz is some KY reseller, who splits bulk loads into boxes and ships them to big box stores

Are they pre-packaged in boxes? Might have seen those. If it's what I'm thinking, it's like the water lilies I bought from Lowes a few years ago. I bought 2 and they were fine.

So it's just a brand name of some company then. Well now I know as I too bought my first water lily from Lowes in one of those boxes. Don't know if same company but it was a James Brydon lily and did fine.

Yes Bloomsz is the name of the company. They have a few different lilies and marginals, figured for $10 it was worth a shot. I got my pond started at the end of the season, so I never notice them before.

Thought this looked nice.

The water lily I got a couple summers ago was from Home Depot, so probably a Bloomsz product. It did very well the first year. It got to the point where there was 40 pads at once so I had thin it out a little because it was in my 30g pond. Last year in the 400g, I couldn't get any flowers out of it and pads were smaller, so I'll probably have to put it in a larger pot this year.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh it's a very pretty bright yellow jb

I stopped putting lilies in pots. For the past couple years, I've just put the tubers under rocks. Everything has bloomed prolifically. Maybe I'm just lucky?

JB I got a hardy waterlily that looks just like that (same leaves and same color) but it was from Petsmart and it is actually doing really well. I don't know the name of mine though.

Yeah it was really cool. I had one from Menards before that, that never did anything, so when that first flower popped up it was pretty awesome! I hope I can get it to flower again this year.

Garbage, I bought 5 and not a single one did anything, pulled them all out and took them back to Home Depot and got my money back.
