Phil, I can't say that I grow them somewhere. I do not have that many and it is my second attempt only. The fungus gnats just seem to like all my potted plants. I learned to control them, but to me their presence is a sign that something is wrong with the soil anyway. First cuttings that I...

I need help with potting mix :(I keep killing my rooted cuttings with root rot, and always have fungus gnats although I try not to water too often. I bought a moisture meter. Last time I used the Miracle Gro "Palm and Cactus" potting soil and added more perlite. I believe the fungus is already...

I am not often here, and I am sorry that I didn't reply to some messages. I speak from my own experience. The first plant was so rare that it was easy to still all together with its name; and it was enough just to screen this forum to find it. The businesses of interest would do this. It is...

Hi, palmdude, nice to meet you:). Yes, Scott is really very nice :). ........... I got a message of your reply to this thread. ........... I am stil hoping that the palm I am growing are not what they said it is... How about Chamaedorea radicalis??

This is bad. They were who you know and who have been in your garden. When hundreds of these plants will be offered for sale under the different name it will be hard to prove the origin. ...but there is an another version: the online stealing. I've been a victim and a witness of so many! Large...

Hi Randy, I am willing to pay the shipping cost (the plants in plastic in the box without pots) and your time; I do not care what you have :) I do not care about their names either :)

There are tons of other gardening forums around. It’s easy to search. …Cinnamon powder, chamomile tea… I almost lost my dill and rucola (arugula) seedlings due to the fungus gnats again but thanks to Google it didn’t happen. …and to get rid of snails it is enough to water heavily and...

These are soooo beautiful! I do not have anything similar but the third from the bottom :). Therefore I think that it is Stoplight:D

Thank you, Dean:). The fungus is in the soil. It is mold. I already figured out that I have to use a sterile potting mix and not keep it open in my garage for months. However even with fresh medium I am always getting fungus in my house plants. Then all of the sudden the house is full of fungus...

Thank you, Dean:). If plant survives my loving care :pI will post more pictures.

It is beautiful and low to the ground, i like it:). I was given 3 cuttings, all of them rooted, and now I have 3 long stems. I cut one in half to see what it does. It was a pity to cut all of them because a lot of buds were developing. How do you keep yours low?

What to do with the rooted cuttings? I root them in potting soil. I never made a special mix. I discovered that if potting soil is not fresh (was in the opened bag for a while), the cuttings die due to fungus. I also can successfully kill the rooted ones :(. So, what to do next with these? I...

Got a new plant. Supposedly Tabermontana divaricata, but variegated and of sage color. Comes from Mexico.

And this I was given last Tuesday. Hibiscus vine. Never heard about this one before. Supposedly very easy, with roots, but didn't look well after a day in the bag. I planted it but I do not have much hope. The leaves are maple type again.

Here is an update on Cranberry Hibiscus (how it looks now). I do not know how to trim it yet.

Here are my cuttings. They came out of the plastic bag where they were sitting for 6 (or more) weeks alive and rooted...but I have no clue what to do with them next. I usually kill my cuttings with fungus and fungus gnats:(... I wish we would have a sub-forum on general gardening... Three of...

:):):) Mine also broke off my wings:(

WOW! Is it 14 month already?? Thanks again sooo much, Lamar! Look, isn't this something :)?

Oh, thank you Lamar! I am so sorry, I had my family (with 3 years old) visiting from Europe and I was completely out of everything garden related :(. I am within half an hour of Longfellow Ave in South Tampa. And if you hold to it a little longer, I plan to participate in something on the East...

Most Floridians are ex-northerners and the Phoenix looks like The Palm to them. First thing I bought after the house was the Phoenix roebelinii because it looks like the palm tree is supposed to look to me and because it is small and will never grow out of my view. Unfortunately, the date palms...
