Although gunnera tinctoria has been banned for a number of years due to its invasive nature in certain parts of the UK, most nurseries circumvented this by simply listing all gunnera as the hitherto perfectly legal gunnera manicata.

I live in South Carolina so it doesnt just grow here but I'm serious about trying this to see if I can heal myself, Where and how do I know if I'm getting the right seed for Peyote? Any help on where I can get seeds from would be much appreciated.

    Agree with u on the washingtonia robusta, not had a great deal of luck with them do fine during summer here on the west coast of Scotland, but not so good if u get a really harsh winter! Dont get me wrong if they do get fried with the cold, if they've still got a bit of green in the growing point they will push out new growth rapidly once temps warm up! 🚀 just went and bought approximately a 5ft one from B&M was originally £50 but priced down to a tenner as a few dead fronds on it, plenty of green in centre & really just needed repotted! So result 😁🤞

  • @tropicalpdx1341
    @tropicalpdx1341 13 дней назад

    I agree the damage to the Opuntia is from slugs or snails. They love soft new pads. As far as your Y rostrata, it looks in very poor shape. The central growing point should be producing all blue new leaves. These are very adaptable and do not need a pure gravel growing medium. I hope that its roots are able to reach the native soil underneath. These, as well as the agaves come from areas that experience summer monsoons. So they do best with water in summer and it helps their growth. I would leave it alone and make sure it gets some water. Good luck.

      Re Yucca Rostrata. Mine used to do the same with the foliage when they were potted. When I planted it into a deep raised bed with gritty soil this all resolved. I assumed it was due to the suboptimal drainage in the pot. I don't cover the two yucca rostratas in winter yet despite this remains decent with little damage. I suspect the plant is recovering from the poor conditions it was in previously prior to you planting it in the well drained bed. Hopefully this will resolve in time🤞

I lost palms that were 50 ft high and shrubs that were supposed to be able to withstand those temperatures, and my musa basjoo and musa blue bananas froze to the ground! 3 years later , its like it never happened. I think if you have them in light shade thinking they are protected , you dont allow the sun to warm up the soil and thats what causes rot. The fact that they were in full son is , in my opinion, what saved them . Before that they with stood 29 to 32 no problem
