Plant MONSTER. posted:No advice but I just wanted to share your lamentations wrt stores selling their mesembs in the wrong kind of soil. We receive them occasionally at our store and they're always planted in heavily water retentive potting mixes in plastic pots. One of my mesembs didn't make it through the winter. Definitely not over watering, I think it was too chilly by the window for it :/

elgarbo posted:Last year, I sowed a stupid 4000 seeds and now, almost 100% survival AND they're big and robust and healthy. And now I'm facing the cactus apocalypse. Where the hell am I supposed to house this ungodly number of plants when they inevitably need to be potted up? Maybe by then I'll build a bigger greenhouse. Maybe start the great goon cactus exchange? Your greenhouse and plants look amazing

For some potted plants it's super important to have some layer down to protect from disease splashing up from the soil.

Hirayuki posted:I bought a charming little planter that sits on a cup of water with a wick that keeps the soil very very wet. The included dwarf strawberry seeds barely got to the sprouting point before they succumbed to mold; the jalapeno seeds I planted next on a whim also have done not a drat thing. I think I'm going to abandon the whole from-seed deal and put in a miniature houseplant that loves wet feet. Does anyone have any recommendations? The planter is about 1 cu. inch, so we're talking fairy-garden tiny. The planter is currently in an east-facing window, but its very compact size means it can be moved just about anywhere. Sedum seems to handle anything. Maybe a mini ivy?

My city has a list of big heritage trees like that, it's pretty cool to go around and see giants of each species. I never thought about state records though!! Dang now I want to go see the biggest of all my favorite species, can you imagine the worlds largest madrone? Oil of Paris posted:Thank you for your service to arboreal record keeping, goochspider69 Basically, I bet they have a sweet photo book of all the monsters Edit: is there a big weed=trees joke I'm missing or was someone just stoned in a backyard looking at a big tree? Either way lol cool tree Harry Potter on Ice fucked around with this message at 17:16 on Aug 27, 2020 |

snailshell posted:Native is always best if you're trying to encourage pollinator diversity, and if y'all are concerned with monarchs, as you seem to be from the milkweed comment, there are many native milkweeds that are preferred to the commercial/ornamental ones. Here's a list of Arkansas native milkweeds (some of them may not be possible to find for sale/in nurseries, so if not, contact your local Department of Fish and Wildlife and extension office to see if anyone's doing seed propagation programs). Wow what an awesome post especially all them bees. Saving these links thanks!

RickRogers posted:I have managed to successfully produce one Korean chili plant (tepin?) And one ghost pepper from 20 seeds each this summer. The seeds all sprouted, but I am a terrible and forgetful plant parent. I may have used too rough a potting compost and it took them ages to get good roots. Something that helped my aji this year was a Dixie cup over them, it created a little greenhouse. I didn't figure this out until I lost most of them lil poopendorfer posted:I got a grow light and it's been like easy mode for propogation, I just put them in a sealed Tupperware and mist a couple times a week. I've been able to crank the intensity of light they receive without worrying about them cooking, like w the sun. Is there a post of yours explaining this better? Sounds amazing!
