Hi Jasmini
Thanks for the tips. I went to FEF on Sat and got some great stuff. It gets delivered tomorrow. I went to their store in Tampines as they offer a 'gardening' service and are going to come and re-pot everything for me and put some of the plants I bought into the garden. The Tamines place is slightly cheaper if you are buying a lot but generally the plants are not as pretty as they are not as established.
I was tempted by the hoses but forgot to check the size of my taps...
