Plant speak
Добавлен 17 янв 2015
Plant speak is a way for me to share and talk about plants. I was introduced to gardening at a very young age, and after years of experiencing and experimenting, I realized that sharing knowledge with each other about plants is a huge source of fuel in my life. Aside from my friends and family, nothing else seems more important than focusing on the natural world around us.
Amaryllis - flowering bulbs/caring for/waxed bulbs/how to grow/plant profile/target blooming
Ah, the amaryllis! Such a fantastic plant to have in your home, or if you're in zones 8-11, in your outdoor garden! It was hard to make a short video on this plant. There is so much to know about it! This video includes a plant profile, an explanation of waxed vs. non waxed bulbs, target blooming, growing preferences, dormancy cycles, troubleshooting in regards to no re-blooming, and toxicity.
I hope you enjoy, and, as always, please leave me any comments, questions, or stories regarding the amaryllis
Happy new year!

Просмотров 2,5 тыс.2 года назад
A unique and underappreciated plant, in my humble opinion! If you enter the physalis genus, most people tend to prefer the beautiful orange-calyxed "Chinese lantern plant," or they want to consume their physalis plants and so they grow the edible options - cape gooseberries, or tomatillos. But this plant has it's own special feature - It's a whitefly deterrent! White fly is a common pest in the...

Anemone Sylvestris - snowdrop windflower/Spring perennials/ groundcover/fragrant/cut flower

In this video I'll show you an easy way to identify anemones...
