Comments (9)I, too, would love to see some of the plants Norma mentions... especially since I'm sort of new to cacti and succulents, in the way that a person is new because they just began to focus on them. As I get older, I notice a distinct typing dyslexia setting in... it's most annoying, and very frustrating. I've always been a person of good grammar and punctuation, good writing skills, and it bothers me no end that I constantly need to go back to make corrections. I used to be known as the "human spellchecker"! Anyway... it is my hope that Norma finds someone to help her upload pictures of what I can only assume is a beautiful and diverse collection!...See MoreWill digging up/dividing now stunt the growth for the season?
Comments (5)i am of the opinion that hosta come up on stored energy .... if you interfere with such too much.. yes... you may set them back ... if you are simply talking about halving a large clump ... probably little or no set back ... if you are talking cutting it into 100 pieces.. then they will probably be stunted ... i tend toward late summer.. when they are already looking ratty .. others here seem to like spring ... 6 of this.. half dozen of the other ... but ...hosta never really need to be divided... which leads me to think you have a plant that is too big in a space that is too small ... why not just get rid of half of them.. and buy some smaller plants... that you dont have to dig up repeatedly??? upgrade one might say ... i dont understand why you want to divide a plant that is already too aggressive ????? so you have twice as many to divide next time????? but as always.. whatever rocks your boat is fine with me .... good luck ken PS: if you a few extra .. try growing them on the driveway .......See MoreDeja Blu
Comments (6)Yes the picture that really SELLS this plant has the white separation line. But it seems there is little more than that one picture? Or at least a few of us here are missing it on our plants, it would be a must have plant with that white line ! I will listen to AM Coast to Coast to see if they have any conspiracy theories about it ! hahahaha...See MoreSo I give up...for this season...Need help for next season..
Comments (9)Scarleta- I've had a lot of trouble with aphids in my lighted shelves indoors where I start seedlings. It's all because I foolishly brought some plants back in from outside. Those aphids really get around. Is there some time you can have the greenhouse empty to get rid of them and then never bring any plant inside that has been sitting outside to reinfest them? Perhaps it's harder with a greenhouse since it's outdoors and perhaps the aphids can find ways to get in. There must be some way to control them like Safer's Insecticidal soap or Neem. I also tried soapy water without much success and damaged a few seedlings. Have you tried the real heat-lovers in your greenhouse like okra, watermelons, and cantaloupes? It's not hot enough here to grow them in the ground. You might find lots of good ideas on the greenhouse and structures forum, /strucs. Here is a link discussing peppers. I don't have greenhouse experience to help you. Is yours heated in winter? Do you use it to start seedlings for outdoors, and make cuttings in winter? That's what I do with my lighted shelves but I don't have sufficient light or space to grow tomatoes or peppers to fruiting stage in winter, which would be nice. My peppers don't do well in our cold soil so I have them and eggplants in pots on my deck and they are fruiting and have no signs of aphids. Here is a link that might be useful: greenhouse forum on peppers...See More
