I would be interested to hear from others what will survive frost free and what won't. And what sort of temperatures other plants need. For...
I thik you are right Madahhalia - I seem to remember that somewhere I have seen it needs more heat that T. alata.
Thats been on my vague wants list for some time Val. So I will be pleased to see how you get on. Is this the Thailand site...
I have just been going through my plants that have been overwintering in my frost free greenhouse. I thought I would record my findings as I am...
I have a couple of books on Tulipomania in Holland in the 1630's. Its a fascinating insight into human behaviour. It was all caused by Holland,...
Thats interesting - I didn't know that was why they split. My tulips in pots certainly split a lot and never get back to the size they were when I...
I am not sure that you need to feed perennials. I am on clay, which has a lot of nourishment in it - so I generally never feed. I don't suppose it...
I just realised that I said the above some time ago, and never did report back. I ordered 5 named Brugs including postage for £20. There was a...
Very interesting - it explains how named varieties are propagated. Looks like you can ger much more that way than by splitting up the tuber itself.
Hydnora africana[IMG] How about getting one of these Sal. This is another smelly one that I think it would eat an Amorphophallus alive. :biggrin:
Lovely Angelina. I hope your weather has been better for you than it has been here. Its been the coldest Match since about records began. You...

A heat mat certainly will help a bit - but there is a limit to how much you can put on them. I am afraid that we are all dependant on nature - and...
I suspect it is a matter of heat. I am growing things on a windowsill such as Cannas and Leonotus, which germinated fine - but are really...
Interesting site Kristen - thanks. I get the feeling that your Plectranthus won't be that tall - but do let us know how you get on. The great joy...
Many thanks Sirius - I have just ordered a copy.
Thanks Sirius. I think it would be difficult to get that one, but you have prompted me to have a look on Amazon. There are several books on...
I have done that in the past - and managed to rescue some seeds, of which some later germinated in a bag. But looking at my Lobelia tupa I suspect...
A couple of days ago, I bought 3 very small flat "tupperware" type food containers from Morrisons. I used these for my recent seed sowing (+...
I just found your previous seed comment again - Hardy Tropicals 23 Feb 2012 I am sorry to hear about your poor germination. Some sites say that...
