Looking for all kinds of Herbs, Cacti & Succulents!
Comments (4)Hi, I am interested in the tomatoes,peppers, and the gourds. I have some of the herbs that you want and also some hen and chicks. Let me know if this would be a good trade for you, Suzy...See MoreCan I put these 2 plants together?
Comments (4)Thanks! will do it tomorrow.. it will look a bit chewed up tho. the starter of the Potho was chewed up too... stupid cat anyway. I am hoping that sooner or later those leaves won't matter much and new ones will hide them some. I don't have the gritty mix yet, not sure when I will be able to get it. All I have atm is some MG soil and perlite. The bark my daughter was going to give me is being used. I think I misunderstood her when (I think) she offered it to me, oh well, no biggy. Was going to put 2pt perlite to 1pt soil for now.. would that be ok till I can get the gritty mix? I have a feeling it will be a while before I can get that. Humm.. maybe I will throw a spider or 2 in it too!! Just to see.. ;) or not. So far I have been treating all my plants basicly the same for the most part. So maybe that would work. Experimenting with them..just to see.. Just thinking about it is fun! Marjie...See MoreWhen/How low the temp should I bring my Cacti and Succulent in?
Comments (20)Im in zone 9 southern california (in a valley of hell named Perris) so alot of things can stay out during winter :D But there is, of coarse, those that need cold protection such as Kalanchoe, pachypodium, and Asclepiads. As of now, we are still having 90�s during the day, and around 60�-70� at night. Last year was really the first year i got into succulents, and i started to bring thing into my green house in mid october, and that is finally when temps start to get 40�-50� at night here. The average winter temps here are around 40� at night, but sometimes it can dip to 26�. We even had snow in 2007, and that is when i almost lost one of my beloved aloes D: Id say, bring them inside the green house is good for you right now, just to be on the safe side, as the temps are reaching 50 and lower. I really wish i could start having a cool down here......See MoreOverpotting Cacti & Succulents: should I re-pot these?
Comments (16)Mara I try to avoid any separating just the same, but often find that there is lots of dust in perlite. I don't measure any particles, but visually try to keep them approximately same size...they are never exactly the same, but trying to avoid 1/2" bark together with 1/8th" grit - that is easy to see. Keeping humus/soil to small amount is something I believe in too (I use it seldom, and if - maybe 10% of total volume, max 20% - and I don't measure it, again just visually). chunsa With the high humidity, some plants may have hard time - ask Neil :) If it was me, I would keep mix pretty gritty to help air circulation too. Too much soil in hot and humid climate could be too heavy, JMO. Lava rock is good, perlite is not absolutely necessary - I use it since it is easy for me to get. And it is light (in windy conditions, it may 'fly' around...:) Grouping plants is personal choice, some ppl like each plant individually. As long as you keep plants with very similar water/light requirements together, it should be easy, space-saving and probably quite nice. Combining plants that needs more water or sun with plant's that don't is making it more difficult on grower. Again, JMO :) Rina...See MoreDesen Hasra Turkey (7b)
