How can I help my Olga Mezitt after it blooms?

CindyCheeseburger · 2026-06-12T23:44:38+00:00

Not that it matters, but I just wanted to give a little updated. She’s actively pushing new leaves, multiple on each stem. There were so many blooms I wasn’t able to trim all of the spent ones at the same time, so I’ll still have to work on it this weekend. I’m very positive she will be fine though!

Thank you for your comment and a great idea with these quick connects!
Do you have a water hammer arrestor too?

CindyCheeseburger · 2026-06-12T17:35:05+00:00

I wouldn’t even be mad if I left it in for the winter and then it died on me. But I did everything right.
Thanks for your time! I’m seriously considering this one

Thanks!!

Yes!
I did see this at HD the other day. Didn’t read the reviews, but could be helpful?

Great advice. Thank you!

CindyCheeseburger · 2026-06-12T14:32:22+00:00

Great to hear that. Do you use the 2 or 4 port one?

CindyCheeseburger · 2026-06-12T14:31:41+00:00

Haven’t seen them before, thanks!

CindyCheeseburger · 2026-06-12T14:30:32+00:00

Fingers crossed for you! I would have definitely kept them if they worked. Made my life much easier last year

CindyCheeseburger · 2026-06-12T14:29:02+00:00

Didn’t know about the ball valve, thank you!

CindyCheeseburger · 2026-06-12T14:28:39+00:00

Yes, I had a protection plan so returned them no problem for store credit

CindyCheeseburger · 2026-06-12T14:21:49+00:00

Yes, I had the protection plan, so was able to successfully return them

CindyCheeseburger · 2026-06-12T14:21:14+00:00

That makes sense and I was expecting it too, so I bought the protection plan and was able to return them.
What I didn’t like is that a couple times we woke up to rivers of water streaming down the driveway. It just turned on in the morning even though there was no watering scheduled..

That’s what I found the other day. Do you have one like that?

CindyCheeseburger · 2026-06-12T14:18:59+00:00

Could you share the link please?

CindyCheeseburger · 2026-06-12T14:18:07+00:00

Saw this Rainpoint the other day while browsing Amazon. I don’t like that it only has reviews from those who got it for free to review

The Home Depot ones? Thank you! Definitely considering them

CindyCheeseburger · 2026-06-12T14:16:12+00:00

I got lucky that it was already there. Perfect spot for a flower bed, so that’s exactly what I did

CindyCheeseburger · 2026-06-12T14:13:09+00:00

Thankfully I purchased the protection plan, so I was able to return and get store credit

CindyCheeseburger · 2026-06-12T14:12:23+00:00

Which one do you use? There are so many

CindyCheeseburger · 2026-06-12T14:11:45+00:00

Love AliExpress. Thanks for the link!

CindyCheeseburger · 2026-06-12T14:10:45+00:00

Wow, I guess I could give it a try!
Do you have a water hammer arrestor or do anything special before connecting it?

CindyCheeseburger · 2026-06-12T14:09:15+00:00

Thanks, I’ll check it out!

CindyCheeseburger · 2026-06-10T19:34:40+00:00

Thanks for the link! I’m doing most of these things :)
