SMdoubleXL Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 While I was at it, still... I decided to up out my Oxalis, also. It’s a cool and very pretty plant; delicate though. its roots are a bulb system and those lil section can just be snapped off and planted. this plant went so limp and looks weak after it’s transition. I hope it forgives me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMdoubleXL Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 I’ve never even tried roses or even played with em but I figure I’d try a few things. These get direct sunlight until the sun is set. They require more water than anyone should use in this desert. applied a few pruning techniques and solid Correctly watering at the right time of day (early am), keeping base free of weeds. To ensure a bushy rose bush, when you notice it blooming and go to dead head it, trim it back to the leaflet with 5 or more leaves on it -it will produce a bushy flowering plant. There's no flowers yet but the pruning has allowed it to push its energy to the healthy parts instead of wasting energy tying to feed useless parts (people should actually do this too ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMdoubleXL Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) has anyone ever made/experimented with Hypertufa? I haven’t yet but I will eventually. It seems like a cool lil project to do and super customizable to what you want/need. there are plenty of websites that provide common recipes and directions Some recipes go into a lot of detail Some recipes are more basic. in case any of you have the resources and/or desire to play around while you’re at home.

Ko SprueOne Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Transplanted some sage into the ground this weekend. It was in a pot at a friend's house. They're moving and so were getting rid of stuff. I spotted the Sage plant and asked for it. Sage granted. Made a watering device so I could fill it then walk away to do other stuff. I always end up just standing there and watching because of the interest in watching water do sht. Painted an old Kimchi jar after drilling three 1/8" holes at the bottom rim of one side. Set it on top of a metal thing I found at a thrift store. Filled it with water. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ko SprueOne Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Just throwin this out there for anyone who knows, in no particular order. @SMdoubleXL @nicklesndimes @One Man Banned @LUGR @KILZ FILLZ @simon sandleshit @Hua Guofang @Dirty_habiT Blooms is over for this lavender for this year. The bees dig these. My neighbor says it gives them a sort of 'stoney trip'. How do I prune this? Do I cut the seed pods off only?

One Man Banned Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Not 100 on this but I believe you prune/shape it all down but don't go too low and always leave some green at the bottom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMdoubleXL Posted August 22, 2021 Author Share Posted August 22, 2021 I’ve been thinking of this thread lately. thank you bumping it. @Ko SprueOne A few docent things to do with those depending on what you want your end result to be. Any flower (all of you) should be dead headed (cut it off) after it blooms. If that old flower falls in your plant it could lead to a bacteria or even mold to grow. UNLESS you are trying to get seeds from it. i would harvest those seeds-and cut the bloom off. If you are keeping it-you should definitely be able to give it a rejuvenation prune. All the way down and allow it go dormant in the winter and start fresh when’s it’s time. Im not 100 if you can take it all the way down to the stalk- but just in case leave a few branches with a few nodes so it has some new growth starter points. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead Headed to avoid bacteria and mold, Good info. I didn't know that. I'm not trying to harvest the seeds for now. The ones that fell a couple years ago grew this one in the picture. When you say, All the way down to the stalk, does that mean under the bloom until it reaches the branch it's growing from? See the red lines in the picture. Or further down than that?

Thanks for the replies, awesome thread! Exactly. Where the stem starts at the leaves. yea. Any dead or dying plant matter (including flowers) should be removed from and from around any plant. also. If you see a dying/I’ll branch /leaf or any part of a plant that isn’t doing well, cut it off!! the plant will use its energy to keep trying to repair that instead of sending that energy to new growth. kinda similar to life. we can learn a lot from plants.

SMdoubleXL Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 This is what they looked like 8/21 aftrr that radical (first root) is long enough , I’ll turn it root side down over a jar with a mouth opening wide enough to allow root to sit in that water. Topping water daily to prevent any pert of the root to dry out 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
