    Spider mites

    Happy belated New Year to everyone! Thank you for your great input. I was away for awhile and I had to act quickly. I searched the forum, and then I sprayed my outdoor plants with Bayer 3 in 1. I am yet to check how they are doing. Most of my plants are still in the pots because grounds are not...

    Spider mites

    The weather is hot and dry and they are everywhere! I keep washing my potted plants, but the spider mites keep coming back, and crotons in the ground are already infested. I've just ordered the ladybugs. What else can I do?

    New Stuff

    Thank you, Ana. You are right. Now I remember. *Curly Boy is not listed in the wiki; and also I was trying to say that the Herringbone is not listed (not mentioned at all).

    New Stuff

    *Are we posting here the pictures of the "new stuff" that doesn't have enough pictures in the wiki? *I also would like to find out who I got the Bonita and the William Craig from. Speaking of wiki, some crotons are not there at all, like Herringbone. (Brenda got a good plant at the auction)...

    Ana (and David), the oaks are the Laurel Oak (the second grade trees given to the developer by the county), and they are probably more than 40 years old. They will not outlive me anyway (what a nice thought! :D). They were planted too close to the foundation, causing all kinds of damage. There...

    Scott, he has 2 Ti named after him already! Why don't you name something after yourself?? The "ScotTi" is a perfect name for a plant :)... so easy to remeber:) Do not forget to give it to me, so I can brag about it (given me by its creator) as I brag about "Pixie" croton ;)

    This is a great idea! I have a new favorite - Edwin T. Meredith, that you gave me. It was looking scraggly for a long time where it was planted (in some shade), and now it is just gorgeous in full sun! I love it! I do not need anything tall where it is, and I need something green. It is...
