I've loved all of the episode of the podcast. But this is absolutely my favorite. So refreshing, so powerful and encouraging. Thanks guys for being awesome and being you!
Absolutely FANTASTIC Episode! GREAT Content. Definitely One I'll be watching again for sure. Ya'll ROCK!!🤗 Have FUN this weekend..... Michelle from Southeast NH
Shade in zone 8a, South Mississippi. Mine do best with a little morning sun and shade the rest of the day and mulch to hold in the moisture. I think pine needles are best for holding moisture as bark seems to heat up in our brutal sun and droughts.
Good info. I’m 70 yo sr cit and grew up on the east end of Houston and remember picking pomegranates off my grandfathers tree when I was a kid. Mostly to chunk at Howard who lived across the street but sometimes I would eat one. I have been planning to grow some this year. I am going to start with a bunch of seeds and see if that works. Too bad Howard’s not around anymore. BTW raw honey is a great root stimulator and you can spread it on your toast.
Thank you for sharing. I will be getting some of that. Now how long do you have to wait to allow your fur babies to go into the yard after you apply it?
Love the content i just started my DR journey this spring and had to save the caudex from rot and its now growing healty and is solid. Got it planted in a italian terracotta short pot.
I enjoy your videos. I live in Frankfort, KY and it is getting near Fall. Unfortunately my husband and I live in a one bedroom apartment. it has a patio, which is where I put my outdoor plants. I do have to keep the number of plants down due to lack of space. Wish we did have a house with a yard. Oh, well, I do what I can with what I have.
Love this video! I'm learning so much about Desert Roses and plants like it - sounds like I can take a lot of the tips here and apply it to succulents. Hi from Austin!
Beautiful plant 👍 ive just researched desert rose. its totally bonkers the variety and how massive these plants can grow. you might need a bigger garden 😂
I really like your videos, I’ve learned a lot from them! I have recently fallen in love with Desert Roses and I bought my first one from Home Depot (of all places) for 30 bucks and it is huge. I’m also from Houston… where do you buy your pots from? I’m having a hard time finding affordable ones…
Oh yea. They all bloom. This one didn’t have any on it when I bought it but it’s because they had it in the shade. It’ll go out in full sun soon and get some blooms this fall.
I've yet to try them but service berries are apparently even tastier than blueberries and a lot of people have no idea. Ginkgo trees can stink really bad if you get the wrong sex. I can't remember if it's the male or female that stink but their leaves are so beautiful. Hydrangeas do best in part sun in zone 8 so if that's you or warmer maybe try one in a shadier space.
We had a plumeria in a pot that was blown over in the wind. The stem broke off and I stuck it in a raised bed. I was surprised that it survived and did better than when it was in a pot.
Thank you! I'm so encouraged! I just moved and had to downsize my yard by A LOT and am now renting. I have been at a loss at what to do in the small foot print but this gives me SO MANY ideas for my massive garden and plant babies. ❤
Canadian here, when I plant hydrangeas I dig the hole, toss in some bone meal, compost & top off with mulch. Have you considered trying to plant them in a shadier area to stop them from baking in your glorious Texas heat? They need water every morning & night too, even here in Canada. Ours are bright blue due to the high soil pH. The ones in BC are always pink due to the low pH. Pretty cool plant. ❤
I live in South Texas Desert. I have had a couple of these pop up as seedlings. Last year I took one that was about 8-12 inches tall and transplanted it in the fall to a very unfriendly area. The hottest area where everything dies -South facing full sun devils strip. There is irrigation there, but even then it's a rough location. This year it is 2 to 3 feet tall, and 2 to 3 feet wide, gorgeous, constantly in bloom, full of pollinators. To my delight, I have a new seedling this year that will join the first transplant. Love this plant!
Pineapple’s produce in cycles, if you plant a top from the large pineapple at the store it will produce a tiny pineapple in about 24 months, the top from that tiny pineapple (if replanted) will then grow a nice big full size pineapple again. however you can also take the top off a big store bought pineapple, cut it into quaters and remove the leaves that would have been the center growth of the plant, put the quaters in soil and keep moist and in bright light (if using sunlight aim for indirect bright light). It will take a month or so but you should see new side shoots/pups growing, these side shoots should produce a full sized large pineapple in about 18 months rather than the 24 it would take planting the top out right, also you’d get multiple full sized pineapples with this method instead of the one small one. Happy growing and pineapple journey to you friend! 😊
I don't even have a balcony. The only potted plant in my home is an Aloe Vera that dried out years ago. I still listen very attentively. Just in case.😂
