I find these plants really artistic and they look amazing. I have been trying to search for days, what they are, without any luck. Can someone help me identify, what type of plants are this ? How can I get this look ?
I’m in southern California and we recently bought four mature, crêpe, myrtles and planted them in our backyard. They’re about six years old each, and it’s only been three weeks, and the leaves are curling and turning yellow. Also many of the leaves have died and fallen to the ground. What can I do to revive my tree? It’s only been planted four weeks ago. I need all the help I can get them worried I’ve been watering them every three days the first two weeks. I was watering them every four days and I realize they needed more water so I started watering them every three days but it doesn’t look like it’s getting better.
My friend got this seed starter kit for cilantro and gave me this. I’m assuming you just wet the block and put the seeds on it but I wanted to make sure before I did anything! Also, would you recommend I put the seeds outside on the porch (west facing) or under a good grow light I have? Thank you!!
I'm only growing inside twice this summer two of my plants have died outside on my deck. Is this because of climate change?
I have 3 cuttings from an old apple tree on my property that I stuck in a jar with water, I didn't expect them to root but they all did, they've had tiny root nubs on them for a few weeks now and have even grown some new leaves but id like the roots to get longer before I put them in soil, is there anything I could do to encourage the roots to start growing? I've been using clean tap water but I also have a fish tank maybe I could put some fish water in there for nutrients?
Assuming nothing would happen (like usual for me), I put some seeds from a cherry tomato into this 3 ounce cup with my mom's potting soil and to my shock this happened in a week or so. I'll obviously have to move them to a much bigger container, but as they grow, won't their stems/roots become a tangled mess? If they need to be separated, can that be done without damaging them? Not sure where to go from here. Sorry, I'm a gardening noob. Ty! 🙏
There's a shop on Etsy that sells resin decorations containing different kinds of plants and flowers. Their most popular selling items seem to be cubes containing four-leaf clovers, specifically the trifolium repens species, which is the kind that's believed to be lucky. Looking closely at the pictures of the items, they do appear to be genuine and not another "impostor" species.
The shop owner says she is a stay-at-home mom with a big interest in plants. She says all the plants and flowers in her items are handpicked and dried.
From what I can see she has sold 80+ items with these four-leaf clovers. Considering that this species can typically be expected to have just one four-leaf clover in every 10,000, 80+ seems like a big number to me.
So I'm wondering how she could possibly be getting so many? I'm thinking she might buy them from someone else and then puts them in resin, but then I have to wonder how her source is growing so many.
I am overrun with white tail deer. Like more than a dozen every night. I use liquid fence to keep them off my hydrangeas and other plants. It’s worked really well, except now they’ve horned my Japanese maple. Obviously the spray isn’t going to keep them off. Any advice to get rid of them, and will my little tree make it? I just planted it in the spring
Looking to take advantage of my tenacious native Dayflowers' blue blooms but not sure what ground cover type will work well with them especially given the conditions where they'll be.
Partial sunlight, maybe leaning a bit towards shade than sun, 4 inches or so of soil depth, dirt topped with mulch, and a sheet of that drainage tarp stuff. Willing to cut that barrier if the newcomers need deeper rooting and to be away from the mulch. Not a lot of space so looking to give a perennial a head start before I need to manage the dayflowers' bullying in spring.
I have had vegetable gardens for years but after buying a house and redoing the yard I now have a lot of different types of plants to care for and don't want to have 45 different fertilizers since quality organic fertilizer is expensive and has a shelf life. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks in advance.
The biggest flower from the garden this year.
Found these little tiny white buggies on a few of my ferns leaves. Help with ID?
I want to buy Physalis grisea but I've only found one place selling it and I don't trust that they've labeled it correctly. I'm specifically interested in plants native to Ontario, are there university departments, horticultural societies, or seed banks that sell this type of thing?
Last time I did a backyard garden I struggled with insects getting into my veggies and ruining them. I need to do an above ground or potted garden and I plan to only start with either peppers or culantro this time. I live in a tropical region so it’s sunny year round and it stays in the mid 80s. Any tips on what I can do this time?
I want something easy to do myself that is attractive and inexpensive. The pvc idea is looking a little destitute now lol.
I recently moved into a house I am renting with a large patch of grow space/lawn space. I am growing grass from seed in a portion of that space and a bunch of these guys popped up. Any idea if they are weeds or seeds of some sort? I've used my plant identifying app, google image searched them, and get no precise results that match up with what I have. Help would be appreciated!
Just got sod installed for the first time in our backyard. How often would you water it ? The builder didn’t really say anything.
