Salamander - my understanding is that coloured LED lights are not white light that has passed through a coloured filter - which would be...
I suspect that if you wash sea sand thoroughly it won't kill any plants. Its not porous so the salt only sticks to the surface and will wash off...
As I said any sharp material will do the trick. Its the surface area that aids drainage, and smaller pieces have more surface area in total. So it...
I would agree with Apothocary. My local builders merchant said they could order a ton of horticultural grit for me, but it was double the price of...
Sal - one of the things I really like about Brugs is that, although you think of them as exotic and from warm countries, even the warm group seem...
Very curious - its almost as if it has been damaged one way or another.
Yep - if in doubt, I suspect the answer is always - its cheaper.:snork:
Pete - that looks really interesting - you look like you have loads of pups - are they growing from below the surface? I have noticed one or two...
I had read in the past that the light output from bulbs (without being specific as to what type) dropped off with time. So I assumes that this...
Well done Kristen - I like to see a bit of science. :dbgrtmb: Though it takes a bit of working out what it all means. The figures that pass...
We had some interesting comments on another forum about this. I am sure Sal has seen them, but I will summarise here in case anyone is interested....
Thanks Sal - that's useful to know. I think I would rather depend of a cut rather than a heavy frost. :snork:
I found this on the internet from http://www.plantdelights.com/Banana-Trees-for-the-Garden/products/494/ which is an excellent article on bananas...
Interesting experiment Java. Hydroponics teaches us that you do need oxygen and moisture for growing - but you don't need soil. And cuttings don't...
Temperature Control I have just managed to get my light box temperature up to 35C, which is 21C higher than ambient. Sal was kind enough...
Give it a try Sal. We would all like to learn from your experiments. Though from my short experience I found Protea difficult to keep alive.
I am amazed that either are flowering now - though I don't know anything about Bomarea. I am still waiting for its growing season - let alone its...
Sal - I really do admire your enthusiasm (and your local store). You must sometime do a write up of all the items that you have grown from food...
Hi and a warm welcome G Banker. Kniphofia seeds are fairly easy. They took 18 days to germinate for me when I tried them a couple of years ago....
My biggest Brug cutting yet. :snork: [IMG] It wouldn't fit into my light box, so it didn't get the heat or light that my other cuttings got. I...
Separate names with a comma.
