Where is the best place to get aquatic soil for water lilies and lotus in Honolulu? And if I want to create the mixture myself, where is the best place to get the ingredients?
Is there somewhere on the big island, Kona side, where I can find the Blue Java Banana Saplings
So, clearly that little guy appears to be close to ripeness. My concern is that it was not months ahead of the rest of them and is pretty small comparatively. Is that thing ACTUALLY almost ripe. Or is it just an outlier and should be discarded?
https://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/oc/freepubs/pdf/B-91.pdf Probably the most extensive list of information from people testing out Hawaii's growing climate I've ever found.
Does anyone know what the name of this flower is and where I can get it? I've used Google ID and came up with a bunch of names, but none matched what I'm looking for. I've seen this on people's sidewalks and wanted to get for my house.
Hi all! I recently moved to Hickam Field on Oahu and I believe that is zone 11. I love to grow vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers, but the issue I’m running into is that my home only ever receives direct sunlight in the afternoons. What suggestions do you have? Should I use a shade cloth? I bought some tomatoes plants from the nursery and I believe that the sun is too harsh (some leaves are burned a bit and they tend to get very droopy no matter how much I water them in the mornings). Should I use a shade cloth? To note, they are not yet in garden beds that I plan on using that are raised. They are currently only in pots.
Does anyone have scions available from a reed, sharwil, or Pinkerton tree? I’m also looking for julie, and dwarf Hawaiian mango scions
I'm a recent owner of Pink Princess and I'm looking for small bags of coco coir, perlite, and a moss/coco coir stand for the plant to climb on. I've checked Lowe's and Home Depot but they don't have any in stock. I know these can be bought online but preferably I'd like to get them soon for a repot. From my google search I see a place called I & J LLC but the google images only show a neighborhood so I'm unsure... Any suggestions? I'm new to this all.
