ONE TREE DEAD ANOTHER ON THE FRITZ HELP!!!! Jun 14, 2006 02:23 PM
(Total replies: 2)
I'm not sure what a basjo tree is but from your description it sounds like they're getting to much water. You mentioned that the soil was real wet when you planted them, You say you mulched them, which, helps keep moisture in the ground, and you water it 3-4 times a week. Way more plants are killed by over watering than under watering. You say you easily pulled the little one out of the ground. When it came out, what did the roots look like? If they were brown and soggy than over watering is definitely the problem. If not, more info. on the state of the roots would be very helpful in figuring out what the problem is. Julie

Mahogany seeds Mar 18, 2006 10:36 AM
(Total replies: 2)
I had no problems with these at all (keeping the seedlings healthy was another story) lightly scarify, then soak in warm water for 24 hours, bottom heat is helpful but not essential. I had close to 100% success rate within 1 month of planting. They got spider mites almost right away. And when I treated the mites, I killed all the seedlings (accidently) except for 1 wish is 6 months old now and is fighting a never ending battle against spider mites. Julie

Aloe Mitriformis-Help Mar 7, 2006 09:06 AM
(Total replies: 0)
Someone gave me an Aloe Mitriformis That was starting to rot, thinking I could save it. Its really far gone and in order to cut out all the rotted pieces I had to cut it down to the base. I know if you cut an aloe’s growing point it dies, but since aloes reproduce by sending out pups, and the roots look nice and healthy, is it possible that it would do that or is the plant a lost cause? thanks, Julie

growing tropicals as indoor plants Feb 10, 2006 04:21 PM
(Total replies: 1)
Absolutely! I live in a zone 3, grow nothing but tropicals,and have never yet found a plant that couldn’t adapt. I have several gingers, which bloom successful, and many bananas that double in size outside in the summer than sit in my sunniest window threw the winter (they keep growing indoors but at a much slower rate) I have no proteas but I hope to try them soon. Hope that was helpful Julie

I am very interested in Aloes Unfortunately here in Canada they are almost impossible to come by. I have Aloe variegata Aloe ferox and Aloe vera. (Obviously nothing you don’t have) but could I interest you in trading Aloes for anything else? If so, e-mail me at juliealley96@yahoo.ca and I’ll send you a list of all the other tropicals I have. Thanks Julie

Just didn't want to be a sour cactus Jan 7, 2006 05:18 PM

Hi, I’m also in Canada (Quebec) I’m a zone 3 but its closer to a zone 2 because I’m at a high altitude. I also managed to chill my pineapple last August. I also chilled my Orchid tree and a Mexican hat plant but my lemon and my orange trees seem to have benefitted from the chilly nights, They all grew a lot. and are now producing tuns more fruit than ever before

Help growing coffee, papaya and pomegranate trees please? Jan 2, 2006 11:12 PM
(Total replies: 3)
Hi, I live in a zone 3 and have a coffee tree and a papaya. They both hate to dry out. And they both like to be misted often. The papaya needs much more humidity. And they will both benefit from direct sun. I grew mine from seed both are a few years old now. I ‘ve herd they have difficulty adjusting to house plant from a green house, give me an update as to how yours are doing. Thanks Julie

Hi Jody I found them very easy to start. I soaked my seeds for 24 hours then planted in normal potting soil and gave them some bottom heat. ( I used a heating pad but the top of a refrigerator works well. ) All my seeds had germinated within a week. Julie

Are baobobs evergreen? Nov 16, 2005 02:16 PM
(Total replies: 7)
I grew a Baobob (Adansonia Digitata) from seed in the spring. I brought it in for the winter about 1 month ago. Afew days latter it started losing its leaves now it’s completely bare. It seems to be healthy other than that, Its about 1 foot high, no bugs, the stem is still a bright green. I thought baobobs were evergreen, was I misinformed? |
