[ATTACH] Arisaema sikokianum. Weird - but quite pretty.
[IMG] I am sure this wonderful plant deserves a thread of its own. Back in March Kristen (many thanks) suggested growing this, and I got some...
wardleykenya - a very warm welcome to the forum. I have been away for a bit and am catching up and have only just seen your post. Your Oxera is...
Sal - you were good enough to send me some seeds recently. One New Zealand blue has germinated and is growing happily. I used the baggie method,...
I have put mine outside - just been trying to empty the house. But it hates this cold weather, the top leaves have gone brown and are rotting - so...
Pete - that's a good point about monocots. I can understand monocots growing for a while from a bulb/rhizome - where it can store a lot of energy....
Pete - If you keep an Ensete over the winter in the green, does it continue with the old roots or does it have to grow a new set of roots. Ie does...
My two remaining Ensete 'Maurelii' are growing new leaves and look reasonably healthy on top. But underneath there is not a sign of any roots....
I suspect that it really doesn't matter if you replace the compost or not. As I see it, the compost supplies structure and nutrients. If you are...
Kristen - it was only in one container that the seeds were sitting on the bottom. But today I had some more Ravenala germinate so I combined the...
Thats magnificent Pete

[ATTACH] This was mine on the 9th May a couple of years ago. It was in a 50 litre pot. Yes you can put them out in the garden, but because they...
I don't really know, but I wouldn't have thought that it would be detrimental. I suspect that bark chippings are pretty inert as they will take...
I don't think there is any chance of them flowering until about the third year at earliest. I put mine into quite a good sized pot and left them...
Kristen - have your Ravenala seeds germinated? I sowed 40 on March 30th in a sealed container. So far 12 have germinated - 7 yesterday and 2 more...
I really enjoyed that Armandii - thank you - brilliant.:dbgrtmb:
Best of luck Trogre - they are great fun. I think there are lots of different approaches - all of which will work. In my case, I followed a few...
I have grown the white one in the past and had no problems - I am also on heavy clay. As I prefer the red one, which is a real weed around here, I...
Noisette - that's a really kind offer. Normally I would love to take you up on that. But I am planning to take down and replace my greenhouse...
