Other Plants

Rosary vine, Ceropegia woodii and yes it is very messy but also very pretty.

I'm assuming its Y. elephantipes, the usual houseplant type, its spineless and becomes tree like in stature. Most, but not all, of the garden types have spines.

Yes, I've looked and unfortunately can't get the rarer ones anywhere near me. The cost of postage is so high from the few places that do stock the others I really can't justify shipping them. I'm going to hold out in the hope that Welsh Holly have Elegantissima later in the year, and any others...

Has anyone checked their gunnera?,ours is on the move already

Should be about right I think. I harvested mine in September/October. I still have about a dozen left if you want them?

I remember when i bought my iris off ebay(bareroot/dormant),i just planted it as to the instructions,no special compost seem needed and its flourished since so ive just plonked them in pots im not worried

You need acid soil for them - if you, or gardens nearby you, have Camellias, Azaleas or Rhododendrons than likely that you do have Acid soil. Plenty of other fit-to-bust type lilies that will grow in Alkaline soil otherwise I've had really good quality bulbs from H W Hyde:(They sell...

Mine is definately going to go into the ground.

Thanks Jane - my one is probably doing the same. I will be more patient (I seem to be jumping the gun too often )Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, you have a thread here now

Sorry about that, I just looked at the term skunk cabbage, just shows how important it is to use the Latin taxonomic names.

If you need something quite versatile you could always try a Sentry Palm? But if you have a height restriction perhaps a pretty trailer like Syngonium (a variegated version though)!I have both of these plants (although not in a flat foyer) and they are by far the two easiest houseplants I've...

Very nice. I had a fairly large collection of these and Epiphylums at one point.

Ah sorry having a bit of a blonde moment obviously. I was paying too much attention to the fa cup final lol

I think things are getting overcomplicated here. It is perfectly possible to find tough plants that will succeed for most people in circumstances of neglect, so Beecee's requirements are not out of the question by any means.We probably should make the assumption that it is a reasonable patch...

I think your thread is being overlooked here in this forum Russ. I'll see if it can be moved to a better place for you by @Zigs or @ARMANDII, if they would be so kind.

They are tough as old boots so don't be afraid that you'll kill it with a trim. The mature wood has a hollow stem and eight inch sections in a bundle make nice insect 'hotels'.

I agree with JWK, move the fence onto the boundary line given that you know where it is. It'll save hassle in the long run even if it costs you now. Of course you'll have to tell your neighbour to move his shrubs, but he shouldn't have planted them so close in the first place.

Nice. I've just got some cheap zantedeshia but have lived in places where there are lots of wild aroids that were lovely to spot. I also used to have lots of different colour variants of caladium around my house and yes, there they flowered away. Probably due to my neglect cos they were behind...

Thanks for the input. I purchased a pack of mixed seeds and will have to identify each different plant that grows.
