Keep humidity high by spraying them with water or put them in the coolest place in your house, no matter if there's light there or not (most plants can go a couple of days without light). Don't do both at the same time or you'll get mold.

Ok /an/ I was walking in the wooded area near my house and we found the biggest tree we could to chill by.

On the tree trunk about 4 feet high was pic related. It was bulging out of the tree like a boil or something. I had no idea what the fuck it was so I stuck my knife at the edges of it and it plopped out.

My money says it's a fungus or something. My gf said it was a tumor or something of the like. The light brown was a light flesh like color, like freshly chopped wood.

The indent this had looked like it was a part of the tree itself.

Anyone know what the hell this is?

yeah i think it could work, but also consider plants like miltonia/miltassia or a phallenopsis, and as a side note, the dendrobium is an incredibly adaptative plant, it was the first orchid i ever owned and it is one of the most gratifying orchids ever, pic is a D. moschatum, right know the plant consists in 15 steems of 1,4 meters.
And for the advices i have to tell you that in got my catasetum just a couple of weeks ago, and since is fall here i didnt see any grow nor change, i have it in a mixture of bark, dried moss and coal and its seem to be doing fine, but to mount it in a piece of wood with bark its acctually a beter idea, I mix resaca (its hummus and pieces of bark, i dont know how its named in english) with dried moss and tie that fist to the bark side of the piece, and after that i tie the orchid over that bed of moss. You can do the same with live moss instead of the mix and it works amazing.

hi /plant/ i come from the near board of /aq/ I have made a small flower box for my apartment patio, I planted some bell pepper and wild flower seeds in it and filed it with miracle grow dirt. I noticed today there are a few small sprouts. Will this be enough room to grow full bell peppers?

>>2392837
You need to start over dude.
Unless you have 20-25 inch deep dirt, you're not going to manage.
And we don't use miracle gro here. ESPECIALLY NOT FOR FOOD. Also your plants will not get enough light in any window that isn't facing south, because they're peppers. You put them in the garden and they get eaten too, consider a plant pot with a cage shoved down into it.

Use raw, unmodified dirt that's just rotted down mulch. I can't tell you how bad your vegetables are going to taste and how much extra watering and plant flushing, disease and rot that shit attracts.

I'm gentle on no one, you need to grow your food organically.

Did you know that there are people on earth that actually believe that plants won't grow in unmodified dirt from outside, without adding chemical fertilizer or god forbid poop?
Please don't be that guy. You'll get everything you ask answered here.

>>2392847
ok well i'll just grow the wildflowers in there for the bees, but the bell peppers are already sprouting so what do. Also the reason i mentioned /aq/ was that i used my aquariums water change water to feed the plants, maybe the nitrates will help?

Late Mother's Day present. Hopefully it doesn't take too long to grow in some.

>>2392860
Maybe, try making hot water come out of your tap and use that, it's always best to get them used to it early. Cold faucet water is basically 5-6% bleach, but using hot water, your water heater will have already boiled the chlorine off.

Go to the dollar store, bags of unmodified dirt are $1/8lbs here, 2 cubic feet. A large pot will easily take 3 of them, but you can put more than one plant in.

I would throw them away because they touched that poison, but if you want, scoop them out and grow them in seed trays until the roots fill it up. If you drop the dirt off the sprout, it dies, it's too small for a transplant but holy fuck miracle gro is so bad.

Soil mold, leaf rot, leaf fungi, fruit rots on the vine constantly, insects are attracted in droves to miracle gro plants (especially huge insects), stunted, crappy growth that ends in 5ft tall plants with 2 inch deep roots, extreme weather risks due to weakened plant, you have to cover every plant with buckets when wind is over 5mph, extremely bad tasting fruit (chemicals), constant slug and potato bug removal, droopy/overfertilized plants that can cave in and die at ANY point within 4 hours flat during the growing season.
Plants require ten times as much care as organics because of the stunting, tomatoes and peppers root to the bottom before they start making leaves and branches, and they grow stronger stalks as the wind blows and such. Miracle gro completely skips this, slows rooting MAJORLY and leaves you absolutely fucked if you work or leave the house. You have to babysit your miracle shit plants 24h and go running like a fool with buckets and trashcans if you hear thunder or wind.

Horrifying year I had with that shit. And all that fucking work turned out the WORST peppers and tomatoes I ever had in my life. Tasted like soap and raw dirt.
I pot my tomatoes and peppers now and grow organically. Peppers are insanely slow, but I don't give a shit.

>>2392879
i dont understand its just dirt how can it be poison?

>>2392879
>Cold faucet water is basically 5-6% bleach

I don't know where you live but in the United States bleach is not used in tap water. Perhaps you are thinking of chlorine or chloramine?

>>2392884
>>2392890
>>2392860
Please just ignore him, he's obviously unhinged and want's attention.
If you want to know whether there's enough room for the plants to grow you should post a photograph.

>>2392890
Replying to myself here, but apparently sodium hypochloride is used in addition to calcium hypochloride, so I was wrong. However the safe PPM was set at 4, which is way, way below 5-6%. If your water is 5-6% bleach you would die. That is as strong as the bleach you buy in the store to wash your clothes.

>>2392894
Okay, but I'm still posting this for integrity's sake as I was wrong.

>>2392884
Well, think about it. If you were a root and you didn't have to go ANYWHERE to get nutrients, would you continue to dig downwards?
This overabundance creates extremely weak plants that will break from one or two pieces of fruit growing. The caging, tangling, wiring and taming is fucking horrifying. Massive vegetables on an extremely weak dinky plant with no more than 2 inch deep roots fully grown? Trust me, go for organic dirt.

The problems miracle gro causes are fucking hellish when you compare it to organic growing and simple slug and potato bug removal. You lose a lot of shit to them, but at least you can pot up half your vegetables and have almost no pest problems inside. I'm mainly letting them eat up my broccoli while my green beans and (hopefully) carrots sneak past them, but they're getting everything outside honestly.

>>2392895
Hypochlorite* not hypochloride

I am tired.

>>2392894
i dont have a photograph, but i can estimate the dimensions for you. about 8inches high, 3 feet long and about 7 inches wide, its not alot of room.

>>2392894
You're a moron and should leave before you create more conflict. "Small planter" does not meet the 20 inch deep rooting requirements of a pepper plant. Miracle gro ruins plants.

You're whining about facts. A box made the proper size for 1 pepper would have to be nailed to the side of the house and dry weight with dirt would put it over 20lbs. Soaked, 25-30lbs. The logistics of hanging a window planter that will soak rain up til it's 30lbs PER pepper plant are out of the question, he said several plants too.

I think you just want to start internet arguments, you fucking baby. Leave.

>>2392902
Move the peppers, leave the flowers.

>>2392903
To be fair you think tapwater has the same concentration of sodium hypochlorite as laundry bleach. You're not exactly the paragon of factual arguments over there.

>>2392905
well.... i dont really have much else place to put them. I have some of those 5 gallon water dispenser things. could i plant it in that?

>>2392906
I already said I call it bleach water because it smells like bleach.

>>2392907
Yes, saw it down to about 20-24 inches tall. Drill at least 15 holes on the bottom, large ones. Don't drill in the area that touches ground, drill in the raised parts so air can pass under too. Smooth the cut area down carefully and you can put 4-5 peppers in there all season. Just pick up cleaner dirt before the transplant.

I don't put my nightcrawlers in miracle gro because I think they're going to get bigger.

I don't buy into the American mentality of "everything needs enriched and fortified," peppers are slow as shit no matter what you do.
Fastest: Green bell
Slower: Colored/mixed bells
Extra slow: Hot peppers/banana peppers, everything over 500 scovilles is a 150-170 day waiting game.

How come black plants are so rare when it's best at absorbing light?

>>2392927
Because chlorophyll is green.

>>2392898
>2 inch deep roots fully grown
You're seriously just pulling shit out your ass.

>>2392927
There is no good answer to your question.
It's either a need to absorb a certain part of the light spectrum that the color green is adept at, or god wanted them to be green.

Most plants even have to defend themselves from all the light, like tomatoes, potatoes and weed. Cilia, trichomes, niacin and sap are produced to help protect stems.
Few plants take full sun without having to defend themselves. Plus chlorophyll just happens to be green.

Could also have something to do with the nutrients they take from the soil, but potatoes and onions don't need to touch soil to produce green growth. And hydroponics produce green plants, so this might not be the answer either.

In all, a black plant would burn to a crisp in sunlight so it's not an optimal color to produce at all.

>>2392929
Year end beefsteak tomatoes in miracle gro soil with blue miracle gro crystals added periodically were pulled up with a root bundle no bigger than my fist.

You don't actually think roots dig for nutrients when they're surrounded with pure chemical fertilizer and already overfertilized and getting chemical burns, do you?
They don't root. They don't build stem. The plant goes STRAIGHT to working on flowers and fruit because you stunted it.

I can't believe how much housewife opposition I'm getting over this chemical slew that weakens plants, increases disease and insect problems and makes the produce taste like raw chemicals. I don't get it. Get the fuck out if you don't garden organically, I don't bitch at people for putting flowers in it, just vegetables.

Miracle gro is an uneducated amateur's farming go-to, and you can tell how new they are here by how fiercely they defend the use of this fertilizer..

>>2392933
>the man with a 2 inch fist
It has little to do with anything you're even saying, even with you just making shit up. Your insufferable elitism and bitchy attitude earn you every ounce of disdain you'll ever receive. Shove your nose a little harder into that organics cow's ass.

I'm honestly not sure if you are going for the long con and will start touting the magic of scott's soil and fertilizers. Or you were just growing stuff that does better with soil that holds less moisture. I think you have some pretty good advice in general. But to me you lose some credibility when you say it makes them taste like chemicals. Also bury the stem of your tomatoes when you transplant them if you want more roots.

I think most people buy miracle grow because it works pretty well for most things. I think certain vegetables/flowers do better with poorer quality soil. Peppers are a good example. Peppers need good drainage and a lot of sun. Tomatoes and peppers do taste funny without a lot of sun. I think miracle gro has its place like the dollar store soil has its place but its cheaper to get the big bag of garden soil from homedepot its $2. I don't think it means people are uneducated because they use it. I think maybe you used it for the wrong thing or your tomatoes were too wet. If you were so educated you would know that most farmers are pumping a lot of chemicals onto dirt because its cheaper. miracle gro isn't for farming because their is potting soil and garden soil. its like you didn't read the bag. their fertilizers aka blue crystals are mostly made for convenience of watering. just buy some 10-10-10 if you are planting a garden.

Guys, what causes hyacinths to melt?

I bought two hyacinths from a shitty market (they were the only two plants not already half dead) but I've never cared for hyacinths. I did my research as best as I could, but after 4-5 days the flowers literally melted, and one of them lost all leaves. The other one is looking healthy despite the flower melting, the leaves are solid. Both bulbs are okay afaik, no pests and they were repotted in a deep, wide pot.

Too much/little water? Heat?
I live in a very tropical country so I know hyacinths most likely won't survive here, just wanted to find out why they melted.

>>2393307
It just means you need to slowly get the plants acclimated to their new conditions. Even if they get full sun or bright lights indoors, it's still very different outdoors and usually they lose a bunch of leaves if you don't acclimatise them first. Basically the first day you just put them outside for one hour, the next day for two, and so on, until you just keep them outside permanently. If you don't mind losing some leaves and having your plants look sickly for a while (all new leaves will be perfectly adapted to the new environment), you can just put them outside without bothering with hardening them off.

Hey, man, I'd like to have a problem like yours! It's end of May now, and +10-12 C in European part of Russia.

I use regular rotted down mulch soil.
I was also forced to use those things that year because the garden wasn't mine and my insane grandparent required me to put it in. It actually does make the vegetables taste like shit, at least the additional blue crystal fertilizer that you dilute in water does.

I don't like the soil or the ferts they sell. There is no difference in growth rate or production with tomatoes. If you're using miracle gro you might as well use glyphosate to keep the bugs off. I don't like it, you can't change my observations of the problems that stuff causes. Keep it off the vegetables, I'm telling you.

>>2393307
I don't know specifically, but wind and movement strengthen stems by multitudes.
Do what dude said and otherwise point a fan on low towards them. You can rotate them slower too so the chasing bends the stems back and forth more, but once a day is always necessary.

You can't stop the chasing, that's what plants do. Rotation is necessary for most stuff until flowering.

>>2391786 from last thread checking back in. I've been giving my traps a few more hours of sun each day and they seem to be doing well. I think they were very over watered before. I've got two more questions this time.

I have a couple of traps that are nonresponsive no matter how much I touch the triggers. Do I cut them off, or just let them do their own thing?

Next, I've noticed some white/green stuff at the base of the plant. It seems dry and flakey. Is this part of the plant? If so, what exactly is it? If not, what could it be?

Thanks in advance~

>>2393290
>I don't believe in repotting right away because you are already changing a plants conditions pretty drastically. I have not had one in for awhile but it doesn't sound out of the ordinary. Its like when we buy an amaryllis here it might bloom for a few days or considerably longer. I would just let it stay alive until it dies back. Then you could probably refrigerate it if you need to trick it into blooming again. you don't know until you try.

>>2393680
Awesome, thanks.
I mainly repotted because they came in the tiniest of pots (there was less than my finger's width between the bulb and the pot walls). I was afraid this would stunt their growth or kill them even faster than repotting.

They look pretty happy despite one being leafless, their main stem/leaf cluster is solid, shiny and thicc (not shriveled or yellowing). I cut away the dead flower stem so they wouldn't waste energy on it.

My dudes, I come to you in need of help.

I live in Rio (Brazil) and I have an acerola tree that is 25+ years old. Twice a year it produces mad acerolas, like a bucket/day ignoring the ones that fall off naturally.

For some reason, twice last year it didn't grow fruit properly, it only made pruned/miniature acerolas.

The tree has no pests, is in an ideal area (sunny during morning/early afternoon and shade during hottest hours) and gets watered properly.
Any suggestions as to what I should feed it? I'm afraid of just following google and fucking up, I love this tree.

Just leave the traps, even if they don't respond, they are part of the leaf and photosynthetize. And most people tend to overwater flytraps, you are doing good. (But remember they dehydrate fast, don't let them dry too much either).

It was a very small bulb, so probably no flower. Hopefully.

I honestly find the leaf more interesting than the flower too, it's just so aethetic.

I'm asking myself if I should fertilze it though, on the one hand it's in fresh soil, on the other hand these fucks are HUNGRY

>>2394019
It's definitely worth experiencing, especially if a plant's never flowered before. That's not a flower anyway unfortunately.

It's Tuesday. Got 3 parsley plants, 3 red cabbage, 1 really big basil I accidentally put on the tray and about fucking 30 cal wonder peppers that are 6-8 inches. Everything else was dead or lame, sadly fucking 40 broccoli plants were dead that I could have gotten, I'm pissed about that but the peppers are going to make me a bunch of money because I grow organically.

Still had to walk, but only halfway. Friend delivering them soon and I'll post them.

Well I did bring one parsley up to work on while I waited, pruned and repotted it.
It's not as tasty as the other parsley variety they had, which died, but I like the stuff anyways.

The thing was hunting for dirt pretty hard, all their plants got zero care and the peppers are in fucking 1 inch by 2 inch seed starters so it's going to be a hell of a busy day.

I got some of those starry night petunias, and it has been interesting to watch how the amount of purple and white varies. Has to do with the weather apparently.

It's raining (finally) so here's some from the past week. Some have been almost all white, those happened about the time the heat wave started. When I looked up the growers sheet they said day/night temps create the variations.

I also got one of those heartbeat ones that are supposed to have little light pink hearts but they haven't had blooms yet. Based on what I've seen in the store, they will be far more hit and miss.

I know petunias are considered granny flowers but I like the smell and find the huge variety interesting. I mean the wave was originally found as a weed, and the black ones were created after a mutation at a growers farm got some green ones. It's just neat.

Yeah I fucking hate granny and housewife flowers beyond anything but the ones you have are pretty damn cool.

Anything that looks like a violet fucking sucks. I like peonies, cactus flowers and vegetable flowers. Morning glories are fine. Mirabilis is pretty cool. The rest of them, except this specific flower you have, can die in a fire.

>>2394223
Oh shit I didn't notice you cut them off, what did you do that for? To piss the plant off and get more flowers to come up?

>>2393825
In burgerland a late frost will have similar results. Like flowers, then frost will equal no fruit. But i have not heard of your tree.

>>2394223
Petunias have definitely made some sick gaines since these came out. Its must me like the first variation they had in a long time. I live in new jersey and had some come back up after the winter even though everybody says they are annuals.

Okay, I think I have about 4 or 5 flowers coming for this summer and this time I don't want it to go to waste like last year.
What am I supposed to do? I don't know anything about this sort stuff, this jovi is like the first living thing I've ever managed to successfully grow and not kill

>>2392736
Thanks for the advice.

I ordered two small ones. I'm just gonna put them in bark and sphagnum moss with a drainage layer at the bottom.

From what I've read they want lots of water and fertilizer during growing season, so I need good drainage. I'm still not sure if they survive full sun exposure though, in nature they apparently grow completely exposed (and the sun in the tropics is much more intense than where I am) but it seems most people shade them at least a little.

I'm gonna try both and see which one does better.

>>2394279
>what am I supposed to do?

Nothing dude, it's a succ, it'll do whatever it wants. Maybe pick those rocks out and add unfertilized dirt on the surface since they're potted.

Violas can be okay. Wide range of colour combinations and the fuzzy types are interesting, plus the weird history of how they made the first 'blue' rose by shoving pansy genes into a rose (honestly though the result just looks lavender to me and apparently the plant is hard as fuck to keep alive, gee I wonder why.) Then again I generally like flowers of all types from veg to granny.

>>2394265
Pretty much. I usually have little vases of flowers all over the house once spring gets going.

>>2394276
For a while it seems the thing they've been trying to push is the green edging, like the Picasso series. Last year there was a variegated leaf type too, but no one where I work bought it and it's not back this year. I think it flopped.

Says who? You might get an opportunist pollinator come along to help you out, who knows. Just wait for flowers to open and pollinate them yourself if you're that bothered (I can't imagine why it's a priority though - look at all that asexual reproduction going on).

>>2394288
It will seed. You can work it out from there.

>>2394288
>>2394348
>>2394349
Either way starting succulents from seed is a nightmare. They're so slow and easy to kill, if you so much as cough in the wrong direction all your seedlings just drop dead. If you want more succulents, pull off some leaves, stick them or just lay them on soil and wait for a little while. Success guaranteed. It's faster, easier and more rewarding than growing from seed, which only makes sure the new plants won't be genetic clones.

Hey guys, I don't go onto the plant general much but i don't think this question deserves it's own thread.

What kind of plant is pic related, I'm in Ontario Canada but I don't think it matters because it doesn't look native, at first I thought it was a weed because I don't remember sowing seeds for something like these but I like the colour and would like to know what they are.

I wonder where that green comes from. I wish I understood more about hybridizing. I have heard that flowers with the green edge last longer. I also wonder why temperature would have such an effect on flower color. Not that I have control to that degree but its interesting.

I once went to this house that had uncontrollable violas between all the bricks in their walkway to their house it was pretty cool looking.

They're done, fuck the church and whoever organizes this shit, I'm not dealing with it. 90 Days of hard, organic work and they fucking do this. I'm losing my fucking mind. I tagged the plant and fucking put 6 large rocks around it.

Yes, they're from Pennsylvania and they don't know what a vegetable is. I'm fucking mad. There is no grass here, it's a ditch. They should not be weedeating in a fucking ditch with nothing but dirt.
Tater was happy and had 8 flowers, growing from a russet Burbank top I was surprised to even get started.
This is fuckery. I have talked to the pastor already about firing these fucking assholes.

They cut down EIGHTEEN RASPBERRY PLANTS to the root last year because "omg thorns bad." Now I don't have my two gallons of raspberries this year and my early warning to go pick wild ones.

I lived in Pennsylvania for a while but I am completely convinced now that they do not know what the fuck plants even do.

Put some shade on them, in my garden the only one that can stand in direct sunlight is the vanilla planifolia.
You are getting one of the most interesting orchids, the catasetum has a very weird body language, losing the leaves before it flowers, growing the clusters from weird parts of the pseudobulb, and some of the most beautiful flowers ever.
I give them 30-10-10 for growing and 10-30-20 so the flowers last longer, in the flowering season i recommend diluting the fertilizer to a quarter of it's recommended dose and use it everytime you water the plant.
Pic is a cluster of flower from some dendrobium nobilis

>>2394694
Obligatory IANAL but you don't need to disclose your medical conditions to potential employers. There's exceptions of course, like if your job is a blood donor or something and you have HIV. But autism? I have autism and my employer doesn't know because it is none of their business.

>>2394724
You disclose your SSN and the SSA happily gives all their info away.

People don't think it happens, but it does. And when one person lets it slip that you were diagnosed, thousands and thousands of people will know and harass you because you receive SSI.
I've been on a 10 year long job hunt and gotten one month of work before dropping a 150lb pneumatic stream drill on my pinky and being fired for being a liability. We're talking 3,000 applications. I am not dumb or incapable, I just have some allergies and autism. Somehow employers are finding this shit out and I blame the SSA and housewife gossip.

>>2394637
Honestly no idea. Probably something to do with going through proper channels since these GE petunias were ones no one knew were GE?

From everything I've read it sounds like they won' fuck the environment and have probably been all over for years, it's that they are illegal.

(Speaking of such. Does anyone else ever see that 'illegal to propagate' line on the tags and get the urge to do it when you weren't even thinking of it before? I don't even have room for it but god it makes me want to try every time.)

Alright, will do. I don't want to kill these, they were expensive.

Sounds good, less effort too. These are too small to flower though, Fredclarkeara are damn expensive here, so I got two small ones instead of one big one that could start flowering.

One more question: Rain- or tapwater? I know most orchids want rainwater or tapwater diluted with distilled water, but tapwater here (germany) is usually really good and that way I wouldn't have to add calcium and trace elements. Might still be too hard though.

I usually use just rain water but to be honest it just rains a lot here, in "dry" months i go 50-50 with filtered tap water (i leave the buckets 48 hs in the sun) and it works perfectly, if you feel confident enough about the tap water there i say give it a shot (but i strongly recommend you do what i do with the buckets), perhaps not 50-50, but you might try 70-30 and see what happens, also remember what op said, no leaf no water.
In this pic, D. Bellatulum mounted on a piece of bark, outta say the growing rate is much slower than the one for a potted one but with the mounted ones you can say goodbye to most of the root problems, and also its pretty neat to see them "embrace the bark"

Very cool picture you too, I found a sortof similar one in my old album, pic related. So cool how they do that. My current droseras (just regular capensis) can't hold on to a bug that size yet. The best they can do is fruit flies and baby spiders.

We have people mow are yard so I can garden. It doesn't matter who you get to mow they are all that way. The only thing that might work is staking and roping things off or staking and netting. They wont weed eat things that might mess their weed eaters up like nets and rope. Its not that they don't know its just easier for them to chop things down. They stay away from bird netting and heavier nets because it will force them to stop working. Yes occasionally they will chew through some of your net and you will have to buy some more but they just don't get it.

I have had a garden most of my life and have never actually encountered a raspberry patch. Blackberries and blueberries but I have never seen a raspberry patch.
birds always eat any blackberries before I can get them though. but anyway go buy some bird netting its fairly cheap and you can reuse it a few years. takes awhile to get the hand of cutting it square though. I've tried reasoning with them but then the next week its someone else its just a losing battle. Just take a day and net off everything.

From my limited understanding of plant genes it almost has to be recessive trait. so if you were really into petunias you could try to cross it with some other petunia but it would normally revert back to the dominate color. But I really wish someone with a better grasp of such things would explain. And in Canada its not going to invade so its even less of an issue.

What if you were in new jersey and your basement is like 65F in the winter and you don't get enough light in the winter. Is their a carnivorous plant for me. I keep killing them.

They react to anything containing nitrogen; I used to feed them egg whites. It's flytraps that require mechanical stimulation.
>>2395974
You could grow temperate NA carnivorous plants like sarrcenia and some drosera outdoors. Or grow tropical plants indoors with supplemental light. 65 is a good temp for a lot of nepenthes, especially if it gets colder at night. Lights cost me like 100 for the startup costs but they only add a few dollars to each month's electricity bill. the pictured plant was grown only with artificial light this winter

>>2395971
That nephentes was just some generic one I bought at a market, it was 30cm (1ft) tall at that time. It grew to that size, the bottom stem turning to wood, over the course of ~8 years.
I live in Belgium, but back then I still lived at my parents' place, and they have a glass covered porch, so it got a lot of light and great temps year round.I really should get another one and properly take care of it myself this time, to atone for the sin of letting that glorious one die horribly.

>>2395971
>You can buy a bag of perlite to hold you over.
I don't mind putting them in pure peat (works just fine), I just don't feel like moistening the peat to put them in it only to repot them a week later.

>>2396007
Cool, I'm from Belgium as well. Good to know even in this climate you can get them that big.

I put blackberry plant and grape vine on my birthday list this year only expecting to get one, but my mom and sister decided to get me both.

I only have one dirt patch I can plant them in. How far away would they have to be from each other?
Or, would either one be okay to put in a large pot?

You shouldn't pot them. As for planting, about 10-12 inches apart. It doesn't matter at all though.

Blackberries grow quite well in containers (honestly they just grow well anywhere), and you'll be able to contain the thorny mess a bit better.

Well, I actually already have the blackberry in a 15 gallon pot and the grape in the dirt, just because I wanted to get them out of those plastic bags. Is there anything I should be looking out for in terms of plant health for them?

The pot gets more sun, if that makes a difference, and for what it's worth I used an organic potting soil made from food waste.

>about 10-12 inches apart
Won't they just get tangled up together and make a mess?

One of your plants reminds me of the man eater vines. That entire corner you've got going looks like a scene straight from the movie. Also, it's one of those childhood favorites that still holds up, in my opinion at least.

Can I do the same for pinguicula?

>>2396019
>Cool, I'm from Belgium as well. Good to know even in this climate you can get them that big.
Yeah, it did really well. On hot days I put it outside, and it caught a bunch of shit too.
I just started again with plants, and picked up some carnivorous too after browsing a few of these threads, I hope I can keep em all going well.
Which ones do you have?

Also, what can I safely use as ground cover? I want to keep a few in a nice pot and have em look as pretty as possible. Small white stones or something would be pretty neat I think. Right now I don't even have moss growing yet, so they look pretty sad.

>>2396214
Yea, but pinguicula don't move at all.

>>2396106
I was napping, you can pot anything really, but they do get hard to move. Yes they will tangle up, no it won't matter to the plant. Organic growing is always good, but try to get both in the dirt because berry vines spread about 6 by 6 feet wide and are impossible to move while potted.

The faggots that cut my lawn chopped down 18 vines last year and now I only have one vine with 40 berries. Faggots chopped down my potato yesterday too and I was screaming.

>>2396214
>>2396216 and you'll generally want to make the food pieces smaller to avoid mold. Pings are really nice too and can be even easier to grow.

Yes, but you don't really need to because they'll manage to catch all fungus gnats in your neighbourhood anyway. I also recall reading that as soon as a Pinguicula digests something, the part of the leaf that did the digestion will never get sticky again. Need a Pinguicula expert here to say if that's true.

bought a pachira plant, some hanging hosta, and a couple pots of ivy yesterday, feels good to have some more green around the house!

especially excited about the ivy since i had some small potted ones last year that grew to insane levels before they died horrifically during christmas break

looking forward to attempting these spring/summer guys though!

>>2396106
blackberrys basically stay tangled. I definitely wouldn't pot it with a grapevine. And personally I never found grapevines very enjoyable. You will also need a way to keep birds away from blackberrys. I think a pot would keep it from taking over your yard. and in the winter you can just chop it all down and move easily.

>>2395974
Oh yeah, the petunias aren't going to cause any actual trouble. They're just a paperwork problem. I just find the whole story fascinating. Someone stole petunias from some lab, people only found out because of one guy seeing them in Finland, and now your orange petunias are illegal and you gotta burn them. It's kinda funny.

Also I found 3 on the list at a place for cheap so I bought them. I'm going to make them a petunia jail.

They go dormant in winter, and they need huge pots to grow well. I'm growing a tiny fig cutting indoors because the scent of the leaves is delicious, but they really should be grown outside.

crispy could mean the sun is too much or the heat in your bedroom is too high and you're not giving it enough water! try watering it a bit more, finding an identification for what plant it is for better care tips, and give it a couple days of daily watering, possibly until the water runs out of the bottom of the pot

give it a go!

The white one, does it have enough space? I'm going to clean the surroundings of weeds and debris but are those dividers going to block it from growing at all?
The third rose bush looking thing, is it just a rose bush that hasn't bloomed yet?
And how do you go about planting a rose bush, we just got a tiny red rose that needs to be planted.

Thanks for the reply mate! I would have posted more info but I didn't really know what was relevant.
I live in Athens, Greece, so Mediterranean hot climate I guess. My balcony space is shady, but I think it gets a lot plenty of indirect light throughout the day.
I'd love to get something with nice flowers, I've been looking into petunias but I don't know much about them - orchids look great too. I also don't want something that will take 2 years or so to bloom, at least for my first plants. My mother visited a while back and recommended that I also plant some herbs like rosemary, oregano or basil, so I'd like to do that too since I cook occasionally and it would be a big plus. Aside from that I don't really know, I'm open to pretty much any plant that looks or smells good and wouldn't struggle too much to survive on my balcony.
I went through the videos I took from the gardens and here's a picture I extracted, I like all 3 and especially the red bushy-flowery plant but I'm guessing it's probably some rare kind of indigenous plant that they had there.

I'm probably not the most informed on rose bushes, but I can tell you what I know.
Clear all weeds and debris in a drip edge ring around the entire bush. However big the entire bush, is how big of an area to clear, clean, mulch and fertilize. On knockout roses such as yours go one inch below the first Union, or fork/tee on the plant. Leave a mound up to this point, of clean or fertilized/mulched dirt around the circumference of the plant.
Dead head, or remove previous blooms and all dead looking blooms and growth periodically. Water daily, morning and evenings, unless during rainy days.
Specialized rose fertilizer probably works, I've never tried it. No strings or anything required for knockouts.
Hope this helps.

I live in Maryland so that's a zone 6 or 7 area. I'm trying to find a good plant that can survive in a planter all year and not have to be brought in during the winter.

I'm tired of dealing with the miniscule mulch beds near my front door and want to just lay some decorative rocks and put planters in each instead. Also want to build some large planters on my deck.

I'm also looking for some cat safe indoor plants that don't require any direct sun light. I had a wandering jew and peperomia that were supposed to be great indoor plants but they're on their last leg.

ey no problem man, the more the merrier here.
I have never owned petunias (same with the edibles) but some african violets might be nice to have there, and they thrive in decent indirect light, also is a very easy plant to grow, or a rhododendro if you like something more bushy (with this one it must be a decent quantity of indirect light, or with your climate it will burn).
If you like orchids go with Dendrobium/Vanda/Cattleya, those are really nice to begin with (especially dendrobium) and they wil do just fine with the heat and the indirect light.
Also there is a guy from spain who always posts his awesome collection of carnivores here, you might ask him given that you guys share the climate.
Pic is dendrobium moschatum, excellent for medium to high indirect light and it can grow very fast and reach very big sizes. Contra, you gotta buy an adult plant if you want flowers right away, and D.moschatum is know for its slow maturity

Thanks for the tips and advice. I'll make these the best damn roses in my neighborhood.

I've been wanting to start beekeeping but i'm not sure if i can do it on my property, I'll have to check that out.
When I was taking my dog outside I saw a bee go into one of the roses, I picked it up to look inside and it was going crazy on the inside. Bigger bee than I thought too.
Bees are cute. Cute!

That's not a rose bush.
Hydrangea maybe?

Thanks again! I spent some time looking into the plants you suggested, you gave me some great options for flowers! I'm wondering, though, how do I go about finding specific flowers? My initial plan for starting my garden was to go to a plantshop and pick from what they have on display. I doubt I could find e.g. african violets on the spot. Should I look into ordering specific plants online?
I've also looked into orchids and how to care for them, I'm pretty sure I'll end up getting one or two. I'm intrigued though, how come they are considered so special?
Pic is another one from the botanic gardens, Glasgow. Pretty amazing collection. Unfortunately I didn't get to see their carnivorous plants, I'll keep the spanish guy in mind for that! I'd love to have a fly-eating plant on my window

Wow thats a very beutiful garden.
A good piece of advice would be to start in a green house asking for native flowers of couse, but things like the violets, rhododendro, lilyes or chrysantemus are very wide spread, and all of the have very beutiful flowers.
As for the orchids i cannot really tell you why, i guess that it has to be because they look oddly, their flowers are alien like, even the roots look weird. And there is also that thing where they attach themselves to barks like in pic related (maxillaria juergensii), which is really neat.
Im not being objective truly, i just love them
And finally for the ordering plant i dont know, you should ask that to someone in europe, i m not familiar with sites from there.
Best of lucks with that dude

Are you sure those are knockouts? Do they smell?

Good advice. Although those roses are doing much better than mine the bigger one needs some pruning. It will look better and reduce aphids and black-spot. If they don't smell its probably a knockout a just prune at will. If its hybrid-T or similar read a guide on pruning is your best bet but its better to have someone show you in person. Most roses will produce growth that will never bloom.

if you live in a close or typical trailer park nobody wants bees that close to them.

>>2397873
most of what you can do are going to be your typical perennial flowers or bulbs. Yarrow, asters, maybe tulips. Some elephant ears. Try to find bulbs that are hardy the zone above you.
You will still have to mulch over or something if its a rough winter. But mostly when you see a big planter its annuals or something someone is dedicated to bringing inside.
>>2397955
different adnon but I have lots of african violets. most people can't keep them alive outside because of insects and rain. They are easily overwatered. If you do get one you are probably better off getting the one they have at a big box store because if you picked a fancy one out online it will be seriously hard to grow. I'm not trying to discourage african violets I love them but I don't want you to be disappointed because the awesome ones pictured online aren't beginner friendly.

IMO you may be better off going local because they will carry plants that are successful in your area.

>>2397873
IIRC prayer plant does well in indirect light. Boston fern and spider plant are both low maintenance and cat safe.

Peace lily is a very, very hardy plant, and quite pretty. It will be listed as toxic to cats, but the toxicity is from oxalate crystals, which are more of an irritant than anything, and aren't dangerous unless your cat manages to choke down half a pound of leaves or something. I have one and my cats learned to stop scrwwibg with it after chewing up a couple of leaves.

Cletus does best on a south facing porch with a shotgun and a beer. A wooden chair might be necessary too.

I impulse bought a pitcher plant at an auction. It had a "care guide" with it that I figured I could follow, but it turned out to just be a short physical description of the plant. It's labeled as Sarracenia alata, and there's a small butterwort in the planter with it.

I don't really know much about either one. I've read that butterworts don't need RO water, but that Sarracenia do. Can I keep them in the same pot? Do I need to repot them soon? What kind of soil should I use? Do I need to put them outside?

Right now they get about 90 minutes of morning sun and 10 hours from a power compact fluorescent. I've been using RO water for them and have the pot sitting in a little less than ½ inch of RO water in a tray.

Sorry if these are all noob questions, and thanks in advance for any help.

My peace lily bloomed for the first time since I got it 3 years ago.

>>2398532
Sarracenia really does need to go outside. They are full sun all day plants. Especially since it needs to go dormant yearly to live long term. Repot at the very start of next spring.

>>2398532
I only know some pitcher info, but these are pretty easy. Soil should be a peat-perlite mix ideally (1-1), do not fertilize, only water with destilled/ro/rainwater.
More light is better, and like the other anon said, they need a cool season to go dormant, or they'll burn out in a year or 2.
Cut off dead pitchers when they are mostly black and/or brown, or you'll get mold quickly.

>>2398532
Those are both temperate plants and should be grown outside if possible. If not, you need to put them in the fridge or in a cold room (light doesn't matter then) during winter months (November to February). Outside of winter just give them as much and as intense light as possible, and give them rain/distilled/RO water as you've been doing. If you want to put them in a bigger pot, you can plant them in moss or peat (which is moss that's been composted for hundreds of years).

The Pinguicula/butterwort has tiny roots so don't be afraid you've accidentally killed it if you ever take it out of its current pot.

Thanks for the replies. I'll put them outside and start looking at a pot for them. I'm in zone 9b. It isn't going to get too cold for them?

>>2398590
No, your pretty much in the ideal climate zone. You'll only need to protect them if it drops well below freezing for more than a few days in a row. In a larger pot even this isn't necessary. People have bogs gardens of these plants in places like New England which is in zone 5 and 6

>>2398590
The pot they're in right now should do fine really, as long as they get slightly more protection from deep frost in winter. I don't know much about zones, but their normal climate is in zone 8, and lots of Sarracenia live and thrive in zones colder than that.

>>2398590
You've got the perfect weather for them, just blast the with sunlight. Also Sarracenia do better with cold winters.
