So I inherited a 30 year old Goldfish plant. Its winter, we get little sunlight, and the drat thing is flowering. What's up? It's supposed to be losing leaves and be hibernating....

Anything special I need to know about Kalanchoe longiflora or Crassula argentea besides not letting the soil dry completely and giving them sun? They're pretty boring now but hey! I got goldfish plants! They started off as just the big one. I'm up to...12? Odds are I'll give away the ones in the Patron bottles, start some more in actual pots. The big one is pushing 40 years old. I know very little other than they are fussy plants.  P.S. Anyone in the Seattle area want one of the small ones?

I've got a 35 year old goldfish plant in its original pot. It's overcrowded and not doing too well. Apparently I need to trim the root ball, but I'm not sure where to start, and if I can do it without risking the plant. Any advice?

So I put some Sedum in with a couple goldfish plant starts in an 8" pot. I figured the goldfish plant is really susceptible to root rot, so having something else to wick up excess water is a good idea. They both seem quite happy, the Nematanthus growing slowly as usual and the Sedum exploding. I've trimmed back the Sedum some, at least the few parts that are outpacing the Nematanthus and planted them in the yard. If I keep the Sedum trimmed, should these two live together in harmony?

That is a gorgeous Crassula. I can't even begin to guess how old it is.

On the topic of Crassula, I have C. ovata, real young one. Anything I need to be aware of that the internet hasn't told me already?

My 40 year old Nematanthus is dead. I'm still not sure why. I may have burned the leaves, but that wouldn't account for how severe the damage was. I'm not sure what to do, I've never lost a plant this old.

My surviving Nematanthus has aphids, fungus gnats, and springtails. What the hell do I do?

unprofessional posted:Springtails are beneficial to your soil medium, but I can understand why you wouldn't want bugs on your plants in general. You can do neem oil treatments fairly effectively, but you generally have to keep reapplying it for a while for it to have long-term effectiveness. I would consider repotting into fresh media, as well as the neem oil treatment. Also, make sure the top of your potting media is drying out a bit before you are watering. I'm not sure if nematanthus can take aphid and bug spray. The drat aphids are doing a fair amount of damage. Any ideas?

Any idea how I can get a few kudzu seeds? I'd like to try growing in indoors, fry some leaves up, make a salad, and generally have a houseplant that grows faster than bamboo..

Got these little white bugs all over a six year old African Violet. No clue what they are, but there are also aphids on the drat thing. http://imgur.com/fFSKFbb What are they, and how do I kill them? Kilo147 fucked around with this message at 05:39 on Sep 10, 2014 |

Strongylocentrotus posted:No idea, 7thBatallion, I'm sorry. Any chance they might be springtails? No way they are springtails. They are far smaller, barely move if at all, are fuzzy, and at least one looks like a little white scorpion. They are just bigger than the eye of a needle. And they all must die.

So, I'm looking at making some Kudzu blosom jelly and Mead. Maybe some beer as well. I've considered growing it indoors under extremely controlled conditions, which if I eat or burn any unused bits would be pretty drat safe. Beyond that, any ideas how to get the blossoms?

Weird rear end question. How does Kudzu grow indoors? Trimming it regularly, keeping it under say, four feet, will it still flower? Can it even grow indoors?
