🍃Hi Nancy here, I garden in zone 4b/5a💚 I want to share gardening tips, garden projects, garden tours & anything related to gardening. Also, I want to share the different projects I have planned in order to design, redesign and maintain my garden beds. I hope my videos will inspire you or you can get something out of them🌺
Moreover, I want to share my love for hostas and lilies. I actually started collecting hostas in 2015 and lilies in 2016.
Although I have made some changes to my current garden beds, I am not even close to being finished. Please join me through my journey of change!
Yes, this is a great video. My mother has a coleus plant that she has been utilizing the technique of placing cuttings in the water for 42 years. So, every year, she gives out pieces of this now 42 year old plant.
Thank u for sharing I going to plant them out in my name t with a home made chinken wire around them as these plants are very very toxic to kids and pets ! Cats love to eat them ! But I love these plants ! So thought to make chicken wire box ❤
I did save cuttings last winter. They survived in water all winter in jars on my windowsill. I finally moved them to soil in April. I had to keep the soil very wet while the roots transitioned. I plan to do this every year.
I've been wondering what is happening with my hnsta too; although , I do have slug issues (and use Slugo Plus) and there is tree root competition. I will have to check for jumping worms. Thanks for the info. I am wondering if it would be best to kill these worms rather than putting them in the trash to prevent them from spreading.
I have a vegetable garden that was very lush and productive. This year was terrible. Last fall I discovered jumping worms. I caught and destroyed a lot. Now I’m working on restoring my garden. Keep your containers off the ground so the jumping worms don’t get in them.
Oh I am sorry to hear that. I never heard of jumping worms until I heard it from my neighbor who is also struggling with jumping worms and so I looked for more info and also on how to control it because I have a LOT of them. Yes, I will and thank you for the advice😊
That's what I thought and didn't do anything before. But the coffee grounds soil is when you know you have jumping worms and they are very squirmy. Plus my hostas were struggling or dying and so I decided to look up for more info and found out about jumping worms.
I first heard about them when I read that an arboretum in Wisconsin lost trees due to these worms. It has been a big issue in their state forests for more than 10 years. The worms have been found now in 38 states and provinces in Canada. They are very destructive.
The first time I heard about them was last year when the annual Minnesota plant sale apologized for not having too many plants because of the jumping worms. And the reason I did this video is to let gardeners know as sometimes we think they are the regular earthworms. Thank you for sharing 😊
Thank you so much for your very clear instructions. I am going to try this. I just started watching your videos and they are so informative! Thanks again.
I really love your amaryllis, and your video is very informative, easy, easy to follow and you speak very clearly easy to understand. Thank you for sharing. I will continue to watch your videos.
I always save cuttings of coleus in water for the whole winter and plant them outside in the spring, this way I never need to buy more each year. Thank you for the video!
Hi, just found your channel today and watched because I pinched a couple of cuttings from a relative's outdoor Coleuses and they wilted on the short drive home. I treated them with Neem Oil because I saw a Squiggly (and I hate Squigglies🤣🤢) and have them in water. I hope they pep up like you said. Great video!!
I have tried these methods a few times and sometimes works sometimes didn't. One thing I found was I had waited too long to take cuttings and they had developed the starts of the flowers. Even cutting the flowers off, seemed to make the cutting do that rot thing you showed. And I never was able to get them rooted nicely directly into the soil. I believe a lot had to do with the lack of any good light in my apartment. But I enjoyed the ones directly in water for a long time, as long as I did not let them flower!
I have lots of Coleus and a friend has asked me for 20-30 plants in the spring. My problem is that we don't have any places with light. We live in a backsplit house and don't have window sills. We're in a 5b zone, so nothing can stay outside. I'm hoping you can give me some advice because your video was really informative.
Great timing coming across your page. I had no idea you could root coleus, this will be my Sunday project tomorrow morning. Thank you, very informative!!
Nancy, I loved your fall shopping trip video! Can’t wait to see your front porch all decorated for fall. And thank you for checking out the hosta …I always do the same.😊
Very informative thank you. I will do the repotting method as my geraniums are in large heavy pots. I am wondering why the roots must have the soil rinsed away? Is that for insect control while they’re in the house? Would I use the systemic insecticide with this method? Thank you.
