I have my own carnivorous plant question: I live in New England and rent and would love some carnivorous plants. I can't really keep any/many outdoor ones myself, but I plan to help my dad build a small pond+bog filter this summer at his house and my plan is to order some compatible ones for him to plant then. So far so good right? Will they be able to tolerate CT winters or will they need to be brought into a garage?

There are pitcher plants that grow in New England in bogs. I used to go to the Hawley Bog in Mass all the time and they had a ton. As long as you get the correct type, they should be fine.

On a side note: if you have time to visit that area, definitely go. The bog has a lot of interesting plant life. It�s also near Bear Swamp State Forest. In the spring there are so many beautiful native wild flowers there.

I�m wondering if anyone has some ideas.

We live in a very shady spot zone 6b. I�ve tried to put grass seed down so many times, but it�s too shady. All we can seem to grow is moss. That would be fine except moss gets so easily kicked up leaving bare dirt patches everywhere. We also have a toddler who will be making this situation worse soon.

What can I grow that will stay put?

Thyme actually sounds like an awesome idea. Thank you!

If you insist on grass, [b]it may be more adverse conditions than just a bit of shade causing moss build up[b] and there are grass seed mixes that do better in shade.

What else could be causing it?

We're thinking about bumping our beds out a little more into the shadiest parts of the lawn and filling them with pachysandra, which is growing beautifully in deep shade at our library a half-mile down the road. Since it's not a grass analogue or soft like thyme (which I do love in containers), though, it wouldn't really provide your little one with a "grassy" area to play. And it can get expensive if you have a lot of space to fill.

There�s pachysandra all over here. It�s nice, but a bit too bushy for the whole yard. It grows amazingly well here.

Is your whole lawn super shady or just parts of it? If it's just parts of it you may be better off putting in shrubs or more garden or just a shade loving groundcover that isn't walkable.

If it is your whole lawn you might try out a few different shade groundcovers and see what does well. As mentioned some creeping thymes are alright with shade (and make a nice lawn) though I have found them fairly slow to spread. Mentha requienii (Corsican mint) might also work but it won't stand up to super heavy foot traffic and it will die off when it gets cold (should reseed itself for next year, though).

I was sooo interested in Corsican mint, but it apparently won�t withstand the winter months here. Too bad because it�s beautiful.

It�s our whole lawn except a small 30�x30� area.

Glad I asked you all. All good info. Thank you!

Our soil is definitely acidic. I can try to work on that and the compacted soil as well.

Wallet posted:

It won't withstand the winter but your lawn is going to be browned out anyway. It should reseed itself for next year, though, so you could maybe mix it with something else.

Ok now I might have to seriously think about doing this.

So, my parents gave Mrs. ROJO a phalaenopsis for her first mother's day. My Mom received one on her first mother's day, and has kept it going 37 years now, so *no pressure*

We've had it for a few weeks now at this point, and I have been looking at it's roots for indication that it needs water - I gave it a good watering a week after receiving it, but it the roots still seem green and moist, so I've been letting it do it's own thing. Put it by a south-west facing sliding door, because it is unfortunately really the only option for it to get moderate, but not severe and direct light.

A few days ago, I noticed this brown/yellow spot on the tip of one of the leaves, and it appears to be working it's way farther back towards the rest of the plant.

I know that phalaenopsis can lose their lowest leaves, but this one is about halfway up. Is this something I should be worried about or is it indicative of something? The rest of the leaves seem perfectly fine. Thanks in advance.

What is this potted in/where was it purchased? Can you see the roots inside the pot? Store bought orchids are often potted terribly and the roots rot. This looks like dehydration which is either from root problems or not watering frequently enough.

# ¿ Jun 13, 2021 01:08

Bloody Cat Farm: Oct 20, 2010; I can smell your pussy, Clarice.

It definitely needs a new pot and medium. Get an orchid pot. Use an orchid medium with bark. Repotme has some good mixes.

Basically, those roots need to breathe and the water needs to drain better. You�re correct, though, that you may lose the flowers.

The Btg is a bacteria, and it's safe for human contact, water supplies, and pollinators/bees. Apply soon or before all the grubs disappear deeper for the winter months.

Heck yeah, just ordered a bunch of dahlia tubers! I've grown a bunch of random ones from seed before, so it will be a nice change to put tubers in the ground and hopefully get those massive dinnerplate blooms. I can list the cultivars if anyone is curious.

I also had a question I'm reposting from the gardening thread:

Ugh love those so much. I live in zone 6 so none for me because a) I can�t see myself digging them up in the fall and b) I don�t have the heart to let them die if I don�t dig them up

That Birkin looks great.

So I got some IKEA cabinets for indoor 'greenhouses' and there is a whole little niche community on Facebook/Reddit dedicated to transforming these things into vivariums. Got one set up last night and some plants in it - I have some fans and other stuff on the way still, but so far it's pretty neat. I had to make a little instagram photo set (I don't actually use instagram).

So jealous!! I�m waiting for them to come back into stock at the ikea near me so I can get one to set up for my orchids.

For anyone that has any sort of interest in this sort of thing, I ended up contacting a USDA export expert found using the USDA website. This contact has been incredibly helpful and answered a ton of questions. I�m very excited, as it seems very possible to bring my plants!

Anyone have experience removing pachysandra? The beds in our front yard are lousy with it. I've tried to tackle it in the past, but it holds onto the soil way too well. And there are tons of bigger, shallow roots under it too, presumably from a nearby oak, that make it really hard to tackle with a spade.

Trying to figure if it's really plausible to do by hand or if I need to go nuclear with some black plastic or something.

I was going to take out some by hand with a Japanese weeding sickle last summer. However we had someone with a excavator at our house for another project. I paid him to dig out a huge patch of it. Super fast and easy with an excavator.

I tried once to use a rototiller on some and it just jammed the whole machine up. Would not recommend.
