How do you know when the parent has had it?
Comments (2)My orinocos have just been sitting there for several weeks now because of this cool weather. Have you cut the top of the pseudostem to see what the middle looks like? I'd do that, and if you find brown in the middle, keep cutting down until you find green (or yellow). Then just wait for the heat to come and it should take off. By the way, was that nursery TyTy by any chance? Don't believe one thing they print on their website....See Morespring in the bronx has arrived
Comments (2)Good Looking Palms, Looks like there doing well. Where abouts in the bronx are you at ?. I have family up that way and in Long island....See Morespring exchange has arrived!
Comments (150)Livnlife I admire you for tackling such a small ball and I love it with the iridescent glass background. Eklypz, I can't believe this is your first Van Gogh glass!!! Diamondjennie, your ball looks so dainty and elegant. Flagtruck, using cup handles to make a built in stand for that gorgeous ball, was absolutely brilliant!!! Ahem...I can't believe that the person who ran this exchange and told everyone to make sure they took a picture of their ball before they sent it, failed to do that with their own ball and is going to make us all wait anxiuosly for Momof3 to find her camera! LOL Hey momof3...did you find that camera yet? Barb...See MoreOrdering roses for Spring 2019...do you pot up your new arrivals?
Comments (6)Jen, Grafted, bareroot grade #1 roses, and the equivalent size own root roses can go straight into the ground where you permanently want them. They're mature enough to adjust wonderfully. With gallon size own root, or any equivalent sized lower grade grafted/bare root, it's a judgement call. With excellent care they often take off growing fine. Liner size roses are very young, sometimes barely 4-6 months old. They are called liner size because of the pot size, usually 3-4" across, long (8"), black plastic pots they are grown in. Now liner size (they're always own root), benefit from being upsized to a two gallon size pot, and pot grown for their first year, winterized in a shed, cold garage, etc., where they will get no winter damage, and planted in ground the following year. I have put just purchased liner size roses directly into the ground their first year, but they need babying. Their first winter is particularly hard on them here even if they put on nice size by season's end. Even with heavy winter protection, and a mild winter, they often experience a good bit of winter die back for me. In your warmer zone than mine you may get away with planting liner size roses directly into the ground, but I usually regret I did so, and you may, too. Moses...See Morebengz6westmd
