This channel was created to help share ideas, and ways to help maximize our garden's beauty and versatility without spending big bucks on landscape design. I'll show you easy and simple ways to add more diversity, and improve your garden's natural beauty through simple techniques that you can start implementing today. You'll see a lot of propagation on this channel-- it's so much fun to create something from nothing-- which is one of my favorite ways to grow plants for free. We are all about learning and growing together, so I encourage you to join the journey by sharing your ideas in the comments :) Subscribe to join the community!
You can grow them in Pennsylvania! They will do well there as Yarrow grows in zones 3-9, and Pennsylvania’s range of hardiness zones are from 5b-7a. Just make sure they get full sun and well draining soil ❣️
I have seen mine bloom the first year but I’ve noticed the flowers improve each year (more full). I have heard that they can bloom the second year so I would say it’s between 1-2 years
Hi dear! Thanks for watching :) here are some native plants for Delaware :) Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) - Provides nectar for bees and butterflies. Black-Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta) - Pollinated by bees and butterflies. Eastern Blazing Star (Liatris scariosa) - Attracts butterflies and bees. Wild Bergamot (Monarda fistulosa) - Loved by bees and butterflies for its nectar. Joe-Pye Weed (Eutrochium spp.) - Pollinated by butterflies and bees. Goldenrod (Solidago spp.) - Important late-season food source for many pollinators. Virginia Bluebells (Mertensia virginica) - Attracts early-season pollinators (bees). Swamp Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) - Provides nectar for butterflies and bees.
Thank you for validating what I have learned from my naturalized alstroemerias! Can I send you my pictures?? I’m from central California, and Alstroemerias are my favorite flower.🥰
not sure about the Fiddle Leaf tree coz I bought 3 bigger ones and they just died. I really like to have big tree plants inside but I just cant succeed in keeping fiddle
okay, but actual bamboo or dracaena? Because some kinds of dracaena (madagascar dragon tree) are marketed as "lucky bamboo," but are not actually bamboo at all. still very easy and fun plants tho :)
Fiddle leaf figs cap!!!!!!!! 🧢 Those plants are notoriously difficult. Agree with all the others though! Would add Hoyas to this as well but otherwise a great list other than the fiddle leaf flops
Here are some native flowers that are pollinator-friendly in your region: Brazilian verbena (Verbena bonariensis) Bougainvillea Brazilian vervain Golden Trumpet Tree Brazilian Plume (Justicia carnea): Brazilian firecracker plant (Russelia equisetiformis): Brazilian button flower (Centratherum intermedium) Brazilian ginger (Alpinia purpurata)
You can keep your plant on a shelf or somewhere up high where you cat can't get to as in most cases even if the cat manages to snag a bite it only causes mild tummy ache or maybe some puking but it they aren't actually poisonous. The only plant to 100% keep out of a pet household are lilies as they are the only actually toxic plant to cats
Most ornamental house and garden plants contain toxins and will cause vomiting and stomach issues when ingested by humans and animals, but fortunately very few are lethal or will require a trip to the vet/ER. Cats usually learn that that will happen, so they will only chew on plants to induce vomiting to get rid of hairballs. That's why we give them cat grass which does exactly that by "just" irritating the cat's stomach due to their inability to digest it. But cat grass does not contain toxins and is therefore a safer option for hair balls. So rather research if a plant is dangerous or lethal for pets and kids. For example any kind"s of lilies [including peace/calla lilies and hyacinths] are VERY dangerous for cats because even any pollen that falls on the cat's fur when accidentally brushing the plant or drinking the water from the vase can cause fatal kidney damage. Other dangerous plants are anything with bulbs like Tulips, Narcissus, Amaryllis, Daffodils, Crocus etc - which will cause organ failure, tremors and seizures. Fortunately, the toxins are mostly concentrated in the bulb and cats usually can't even stand their smell and won't dig them up. Bigger risk for kids and dogs! Oleanders and Azaleas - can cause cardiac arrest even in humans‼️ Dieffenbachia - causes burning and swelling in the mouth and throat in animals and humans, similar to anaphylactic shock [called "Dumb Cane" for that reason] Sago Palm - even small amounts can lead to liver failure and extreme stomach issues.
@@thatplant42 btw, I like your page! I clicked it thinking it’s about plants, but was happy to see you’re doing shorts on anime. My favorite show of all time is Avatar the Last Airbender.. just recently watched Naruto. Was going to leave you a comment but saw they’ve been disabled. Good job and keep it up 👏🏻
I’m sure you have a green thumb 🤗 We’re in California- I had a fiddle fig leaf in the front yard that I propagated from.. perhaps they enjoy the dry California air? Thanks for tuning in ❤️
My rubber tree thrives on my balcony getting plenty of morning sun and frequent watering. Otherwise, with low light and lack of water it just sits there as if it's an artifical plant. My experience - all house plants LOVE morning sun!
I really don’t do much tbh. I water mine when I see the leaves wilting a bit, and keep them in bright indirect sunlight. Sometimes I’ll add crushed eggshells and coffee grounds to their soil. They like humidity so placing them in the kitchen or bathroom may make them a little bit happier. Good luck 😘❤️
Fiddle figs are notoriously hard to look after. And I've killed bamboo and pothos. I definitely recommend monstera deliciousa though.. Even if things go bad they bounce back eventually
