Jarrahdale (upon sampling) has very little flavor
Comments (15)Hi Sue, I know you set your Jarrahdale free, but I thought I'd post pics of seeds from one I opened today. The light-colored seeds are from one that I picked early (maybe early August or something) because it was getting a soft spot on it. It wasn't very tasty. The darker seeds are from the smaller one (below) that's been sitting on the basement steps for the last few months. I didn't get to cook any of it tonight. Maybe tomorrow night. Do you remember if the seeds from yours were lighter or darker colored? Here's a pic of the color the fruits had ripened to. The smaller one set on in July or so, while the larger one probably set on at least a month later. It was on a vine that escaped to the alley, hence all the scarring. Here's how the smaller one looked on August 6. I couldn't resist posting it when I saw the same "freckles" and everything, lol....See MoreHelp? Little white things crawling in my Hydrangea roots!!
Comments (2)Hi Shannon, Although far from being an expert (I don't even think I deserve amateur status yet) I thought I would respond to your question since I've been doing quite a bit of research on these very same (or very similar) critters. I have some morning glory seedlings that have an infestation of some sort in the surrounding soil. I posted a question and link on the Growing from Seed forum a few days ago. I thought I had it figured out and that what I was seeing were called symphylans (do a google search or follow the link below). But I kept reading that symphylans are wary of light and I kept seeing these things on top of the soil. So now I think they could be newly hatched centipedes, which look quite similar (I hope anyway - check out: http://www.ent3.orst.edu/smartkey/display.cfm?pagename=Centipedes&groupname=nogroup) However, your grain of rice reference sounds like soil mealy bugs, but you say they are fast moving and I don't think that these bugs are very mobile (not sure though). It's strange, I searched all over these forums for information on these critters and couldn't find anything. You are now the third person (myself included) that has asked about this in the last few days. There is even another post in this forum from a yesterday that has another link (my original link) to a page about symphylans. At least I finally get to ANSWER a question for once. Good luck. Let me know what you find out and if your solution works. Here is a link that might be useful: symphylans...See MoreMy 8' cuttng has rooted, has one leaf... now what?
Comments (6)I dont think plumerias will like clay pots because they will just break most of them when the get older. Give it a pot at least 2 or 3 times wider than the pot its in now. A 1-3 gallon pot should be good. They grow pretty fast. Some are more compact so they dont get as tall, but the ones that are less compact can get 4 or 5 feet of new growth a year. These plants arent too heavy even at a height of 7 or 8 feet so as long as its dry (so it isnt as heavy) you can take it inside. Take it in to a room that stays above freezing. They dont mind being cool, but should not be allowed to see temps in the 30s. In a cold room, all the leaves will drop off, but the plant is still very much alive as long as the stem isnt mushy. Also if its in a cold room dont water it much and if it has no leaves dont water it at all. In its habitat it loses its leaves during the dry season and is used to getting very little if any rain at all in its dormant period. I would not prune it this year because when you prune it, it delays blooms for about a year. You can prune it every year to keep it small and you will have a nice full plant, but you wont be able to see blooms on it until the pruning is stopped. I would prune it when it gets too tall to go inside so you can continue to bring it in every winter. They are great plants and their blooms are amazing especially when you grow them yourself! Good luck!...See MoreWhen plumeria has little roots, can I pot up and start watering?
Comments (7)Here's a tip... When rooting a cutting, always be sure to plant it at least 3" deep into the potting mix and add a layer of pea gravel (small rocks) on top to hold cutting in place (roots are tender and can break easily if cutting moves). I planted my first cuttings this way (and have used this method since), they all rooted within a month and had new branch starts- indoors (during February) with no extra lighting!... I used a 50/50 mix of Perlite and peat/potting soil, watered deeply at planting time and let them dry out for a month before rewatering. *Never plant a 'fresh' cutting, always allow at least a week or so for the cut to heal/dry. Hope this helps....See Morenewhostalady Z6 ON, Canada
