Peace Lily Getting Ready For Spring HELP
Comments (2)I would just leave them alone. As long as they're not dead, those leaves will still continue to photosynthesize and provide energy for the plant. Plus, letting the leaves die back naturally will give the plant a chance to reabsorb much needed nutrients and chlorophyll back from those leaves, to reuse again in the new growth. Much the same way that trees do with their leaves in Autumn (causing them to change color), so they can reuse them again in Spring when they put out new growth. Without having to expend any more resources than what is needed....See MoreWho's ready for spring?
Comments (11)Mike, had to laugh, we are all complaining about the cold here and whining because it is only in the 70's next week. Josephs nursery in Pearland has an excellent collection of fruit trees, they had several varieties of mangos when we were there a couple of weeks ago. I bought a lychee from them last year. They also have some awesome adeniums-picked up a double red thai hybrid for $12. Let me dig through some old emails, I have an address for a guy in North Houston who has about 200 different plumeria for sale including some fairly rare ones & thai hybrids, not sure of his prices. Emerson I think is still in Florida, he usually comes home in April. Larry has his ad on Craigslist and he has a decent variety and wonderful prices (4 foot multi branched kimo I paid him $20 for). No telling what he has, he's as bad as us at swapping and trading. I haven't heard from Becky in LaMarque, I'll shoot her an e-mail, she has wonderful plants and one of her mothers cultivars that is to die for. Maas is supposed to be getting plumeria but they had none this past weekend except a few left from last year back in the greenhouse. They can be very pricey. None of the nurseries in the Heights has plumeria yet, Buchanans last newsletter said "coming soon". Houston Garden Centers has mangoes but I didn't look to see what types, I am super allergic and avoid them, even the sap on my skin causes my throat to swell. Have fun while you are down here. Everything is blooming so the pollen counts are through the roof. Tally HO!...See MoreHow to Get Your Yard Ready for Spring
Comments (5)"not the best"??.......it doesn't even come close to being accurate!! Not at all sure why someone who sells real estate feels the need to impart erroneous gardening advice. And that which has obviously been cut and pasted from somewhere else. And I'd love to know what sort of "organic herbicide" she recommends utilizing on a lawn to remove weeds............See MoreSpring project to get yard ready to spring!
