Other Plants

Hello allAfter speaking (emailing as no phone number) to Taylors Clematis they recommended a few Clematis and I am going to go with Clematis 'Picotee'.I will be ordering one for now in early July so I will see how it fairs, if all goes well I may get another to replace the 'Nelly Moser' that...

Had a look at a couple of sites, out of stock, but will be looking through the winter to pre-order, got the sick and dying clematis out, still some life there, so potted up to nurture and plant again next year.

thanks again for info mate

I like and use Growmore occasionally but granulated feed takes more time to break down and release nutrients to the plants so I tend to use a soluble feed as I think the plants can make use of it more quickly.

Thank you!

We (when I worked for the Parks Dept) used to leave them in for the winter to contrst and give height to the winter bedding Pansies and Polyanthus displays.

Wow @silu that is fantastic!! Just the kind of advice I needed. Going to get my book out later and look up your suggestions. I'm happy to have several pots that I can change with the seasons for all year round interest.Excited about putting this all together.

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

This would be a good place to start. If you just break of a piece with 2 or 3 segments and put it in a bag with some moisture (damp vermiculite / similar) it will start spouting roots between the "joints". IME bit that break off are desperate to root ... sticking one end in a pot may be the...

Mine have been in bloom for a fortnight too. Even the tiny cutting that I took in May has a tiny bud on it.

The problem with these is that they don't like to be moved around once their buds have formed. It would be better to move them indoors when you see signs of the first buds forming . (See my picture above).How To Care For a Christmas Cactus, Thanksgiving Cactus, or Easter CactusChristmas...

Light pink in full flower and the red just thinking about it. Beautiful plants for the few weeks they flower.

Hi Dips, how us your money plant, this is mine.....

One of my Choisyas......14’ tall. Wish I could post the scent it is sublimeJazzy, it will settle down to flowering. Don’t overfeed or overwater then it will be kind to you

I agree with Armandii - I think you have to go for it - such a shame after all that it went through during the bad weather.

A lot depends on the site, is it sheltered woodland or open meadow, whereabouts in the uk? All those appear to be herbaceous perennials so will disappear over winter, something to bear in mind. Does the site get mown and are there rabbits? Sorry for all the questions but I like to plant on my...

I had one last year..its still in the ground as a thought are annuals,im living in hope with GG then

I thought it was a bee-eater but looked wrong colours to me! Weve had loads of waxwings up here this year, i've even got waxwing poo on my car!!

Mine are in various pots too, some I have sunk into the ground. I do feed very occasionally but tend to forget a lot too. They're just coming into bloom now.

Thanks for this. Ive taken the plastic off and given it some water . If all the deliveries go to plan im expecting it will have to go outside next weekend as i dont really like indoor plants
