Plant Masto, can anyone recommend a good lamp for overwinter for my succulent friend here?
Right now, Mildred is the healthiest she's ever been after spending the summer outside, but she loses color and stretches out bad whe I bring her in for the winter, even with the halo lamp I bought.
Is there a specific one that might be better at mimicking sunlight?
...not for good reasons though. Wish this would stop happening every year. Glad we're finally getting some coverage of it though; you'd think after the arson last year there would've been at least some attention.
Today for you I have joyous lilies, lychnis, phlox buddleia, rhubarb, Brussels sprouts and more. It's a long shot of the garden because I always love when other gardeners share these.
Morning glory Grandpa Otts: this electric beauty surprises me every morning as its trumpets open at different places on the vine. I managed to keep the slugs off (garlic spray!) when they were babies, so now about a dozen plants are climbing through the August garden. Each flower opens for just one day. But what a day.
The fruits of Rhipsalis baccifera are pretty cute. Apparently they are edible, too! These are jungle cacti that grow on trees, so I’ve mine mounted on a slab.
Hi fedi, I'm looking for help with a #gardening issue. My poblano plant started with an aphid infestation, and I've treated it multiple times with neem oil, but now the infestation has spread to neighboring plants. I found out by way of ants crawling around, and saw a ladybug on it this evening, so there's enough for them to feed too I guess.
Both plants look a little wilty in terms of the leaves. My poblano has barely fruited and the one tiny one it produced so far tasted awful.
What's the next treatment step for the aphids besides neem oil? I can try and treat over and over more but I don't think it's helping now :< It doesn't help that it's been very rainy lately. #plantstodon#Bloomscrolling#Garden#homegrown
Googling potato maturation time (seeing the leaves on my potatoes turning yellow at the bottom [normal] and red at the tips [normal?]) and stumbled across a very wholesome reddit thread where people are learning that you can just slam a potato into the ground and get a lot more potatoes.
Je donne des graines de calebasse si ça intéresse des gens.
(Y'en a 20 dans chaque paquet. Test de germination concluant)
ça se mange pas mais ça couvre joliment un grillage moche et c'est parfait si on aime passer de longues soirées pluvieuses à bricoler des vases ou autres bols. #plantstodon#jardinage#crafting
Haven't posted a pic of my Aloe plants in awhile. In the last few months, the pup "junior" has been struggling. I'm not sure why, but i've moved it into a better window in hopes that it will do better.
The other plants are doing well, to the point where I can no longer tell which one was the weaker one when i first got them. Unfortunately one of them I've forgotten to rotate so it's got a pretty obvious tilt.
It's been about a month since my last post so here's an update. They're all getting so much bigger. Junior (the pup) is much healthier.
Turns out it was over-watered & not being watered for 2 weeks while I was on vacation did it wonders. The 2 bigger plants are continuing to get bigger.
Junior has been growing so fast this month, I swear it has been growing noticeable every single day. The plant in the first picture, I'm hoping it's doing ok as it hasn't sent to be grown as much. I'm wondering if it may not be getting enough sunlight. It's in a South facing window but that may not be good enough... I've got some plant lights ordered. The plant in the second picture has also been doing quite well. #Aloe#AloeVera#succulents#succulent#plant#plants#plantstodon
