My peperomia plant has lost majority of its lower leaves. When/ how is the best way to trim it back so it can grow back it's beautiful leaves again. For reference it's a Peperomia Obtusifolia.

I'm in Canada so bare in mind our winter is coming so sunlight is shorter. Would it be a better idea to wait till spring to do anything?

I've just come across this concept and it looks interesting, but I am curious to know if it actually works? Many thanks :)

This gardenia is in zone 7 and just started to have all these yellow leaves.

I live in zone 7. It has been dry here but I try to water it when I can. What is going on with these leaves?

Rosemary is slowly starting to die. Lately it rained a lot but right now the soil is dry again. I live in Buenos Aires so the climate is pretty humid.

i have a doubt, example i grow carrot and then after i uproot the plant and consume, the plant is gone... so why is carrot classified as a biennial vegetable? how will it produce flower and seed to be considered as biennial after have uprooted and consumed the carrot. Also if i grow and harvest sweet potato, i uproot the plant and consume the root, now its gone. so how come sweet potato is classified as perrenial vegetable?

So we had an orange tree-- not sure what variety-- that after a couple of years as a young tree, finally produced several delicious oranges which we harvested in December 2019. Unfortunately it died in a freak snowstorm in January 2021 so we dug it out. However, something started coming up in its place and this year it started producing green fruits. One of them split open, ripe, so we tasted it and a few others like it, which were pale green inside and tasted and smelled exactly like limes from the store. So, somehow a lime tree. But we left several fruits on the tree and they took on the shape, color, and taste of lemons. Obviously whatever this is, is coming from the rootstock, but is it possible to have different fruit on the same tree? I know overripe limes can turn yellow but these taste like actual lemons.

Can someone pls advice me , what should i do with the flowers of my air layered apple tree , it's been six months since i potted it and there are at least 12 flowers on this one branch , should i remove them all or can i keep some and let it fruit? ,btw i live in the subtropics , (southern hemisphere)so there are no spring frost here, i manually remove all the leaves during our "winter which we get 10 hours of sunlight and min temp reaching 14ºC at night" to trick the plant into dormancy

Does anyone ship plants to CA or AZ successfully? If so how can this be done?

How do people store these for the Winter? I dig them out, let.them dry out wrap in paper and put them in a co tainer.

Considering leaving an administrative position overseeing operations to instead be a farm hand at a small scale farm. I know for some people on this sub this move sounds absolutely ridiculous ,but I am returning back to school to complete my bachelors and my current work load is immense and exempt making returning to school impossible without neglecting my home life. For further context, the reason I am considering being a farm hand due to the convenience of the hours, which would be from 8 to 4 and will transition to 8 to 2 in the summer months. My current position is 9 to 6 but I’m salaried so I usually work more hours than scheduled. My current position also requires me to travel to several different locations throughout the week in the afternoons. I’m tired of commuting and I use my own car. I do not want to continue to put more miles on it than I already have. The farm position doesn’t require travel and it is a location fairly close to where I live. The question I have regarding the position really has to do with the fact that I haven’t had any real work experience regarding hard labor. The closest experience I’ve had was volunteering long-term at a botanical garden where I worked for about four months. Aside from that I’ve had experience regarding recreational sports, kayaking, and served as a life guard which I’m not sure if that would be considered as physical labor or not.

For those working in this field is there any advice you could give me whether or not I should go for it? Is the physical labor difficult to adjust to? Or some insight on what I could expect if I do take the position? I am fortunate I am not too concerned with the pay as I know it will definitely be a pay cut compared to what I am making now. Starting pay is $17 then a raise in three months. I’m an avid gardener and have an Associates in Environmental Science so I thought this position would be a nice stable position to have while I attend school. Any input is appreciated!

Growing fall tomatoes, spotted some mosaic patterning and thought surely I don’t have white flies. Moved the leaves around and sure enough I have white flies lol. Treated with neem oil, just wondering if it’s been actually infected with mosaic virus and the tomatoes are doomed?

Hi all I just graduated in may with a technical theatre degree. While I love the work and will continue to work in it on the side I’m delaying going back and getting a horticultural degree. I rekindled my love for plants in January and with the design aspect taught in my degree made me want to be a landscape designer or open my own plant shop. Any advice? Or tips or stories?

I have an MSc in botany, sp know a lot about plant diversity / physiology etc. but would like some texts to guide me through horticulture principles specifically. Any recommendations?
