Just got the only one off the truck at the grocery store! This is all the info I was looking for
I live in Florida and my chenille plants love it
I love this plant. I got one at the corner plant shop and I'm obsessed with it. It started to turn yellow and sad looking, but some synthetic fertilizer healed the yellowing and turned the flowers a brilliant red-purple.
Catkins.... what an adorable word.
Loved the tips thanks
I got my first one yesterday!! So excited. Thank you for the great video!
Very informative. Mine also does let me know it is time for it’s water and it loves water. Almost 2 years old now and nonstop blooms all year. Sometimes it does get a little haircut just to clean her up. I also pick off the darker dying catkins.
Just brought two today thanks great info 😊
Super useful video! Was wondering why my Chenille started producing less and less catkins. Now it's getting more sunlight and is already starting to grow to be much more healthy! Thank you!
Great video short and informative. keep the wonderful work going. gonna try planting chenille planet after watching this video.
Love this plant!
I love this plant
These make excellent landscape plants here in South Florida USDA zone 10
Just got one in an outdoor wall hanging plastic bag and wonder how I can bring it inside for the winter!
Thanks
I have a chenille plant, but I think mine is just a plant and not a tree if thats possible. It grows on my shady porch and does really well. It really likes to vine.
Could but low light will cause that problem. They like sun.
I bought one from you guys and its growing like crazy and keeps making lots of bloom spikes but they keep falling off when they get around a inch and a half. Its indoors and always warm. Could low humidity be a issue because I live in Nevada?
I live in zone 8b and just bought 3 of these beautiful plants, so far everything was fine but today I noticed some brown/black markings on some of the flowers. Could it be because they got wet? Or outside too cold? I noticed it on all 3 plants . Can you burn the flowers if in full sun? I am at a loss.
If the catkins get wet or watered with cold water they will not do well, will look brown, and will sometimes die. This plant likes full sun. They also need to be above 60 degrees F.
Oh how I wish I found this several months ago! I got this as a gift several months ago. I live in zone 6 and recently brought it inside. What should I do for it over winter? Do I cut it back? Do I continue weekly liquid fertilizer?
Cease fertilizer and keep in a sunny location. This plant will go into a dormant period during the winter.
@@LogeesPlants thank you so much. What about watering?
Once per week should be sufficient.
@@LogeesPlants thank you so much. I wasn't able to find much information on this plant for my area.
I thought this was an amaranth.
