But its a great deal for them. Few people keep their receipts and those that get replacements also buy more. Palms are special.....you probably won't notice that the plant is failing as it dies slowly. By the time it dies, the year is up.

In our area, many garden 'professionals' treat hibiscus as an annual. It dies to the wood in the winter but returns the following spring providing some tremendous color in the fall...

Star nursery give a two year guaranty i always put the recites in a file folder with notes as to what they are for.

enigma99a · 09-16-2008, 04:31 PM

Yesterday put in a white guava. Also got a bunch of King Palms, but they are a little too young for full sun yet, so I am letting them adapt first.

saltydad · 09-18-2008, 09:45 PM

Today's plantings-Ferocactus hamatacanthus Alpine Tx (barrel cactus), Zephyranthes sp. labuffarosa, Z. sp. labuffarosa 'Confection'., Z. x 'Ajax' (rain lilies), Rhodophiala bifida (oxblood lily), Plumeria 'Mai Thai' (finally arrived from Thailand).

Richard · 09-18-2008, 11:44 PM

Yea for the white guava! And congratulations on the Mai Thai, I'm jealous now.

saltydad · 09-20-2008, 04:36 PM

Put in a Hydrangea macrophylla 'Frau Taiko' (Halo Angel Song). Richard, the Mai Thai had some roots on it already, so I'm really looking forward to it. I have about 6 Plumeria cuttings going now. Have to get more pea gravel.

Howard,

What do you need pea gravel for?

saltydad · 09-21-2008, 08:36 AM

I plant the plumeria cuttings dipped in rootone in a mixture of perlite (2/3) and potting mix (1/3). I then add 1 inch of pea gravel on top after potting to act as a mulch and keep the cutting upright. When the cutting is transplanted the pea gravel is no longer needed.

saltydad · 09-21-2008, 06:16 PM

Planted some monarda roots and potted a really pretty little snake plant (thanks Sam!).

mskitty38583 · 09-22-2008, 08:09 AM

yur welcome howard! when your ready for some ornatas lavander lmk, i have about 8 to find a home for.

saltydad · 09-22-2008, 02:11 PM

Sure, I'll squeeze it in somehow. Thanks!

Richard · 09-22-2008, 08:59 PM

Chilean Guava (Ugni molinae)

estan · 09-23-2008, 02:01 PM

Took 6 cuttings of Babaco Papaya. Anyone else growing them successfully (fruiting) in the greenhouse? Mine only fruited once. MsKitty, I also just got white variegated Monstera ,finally ($15), saw it on Marathon Key @$75 back in 2000. Is there a yellow variegated form or is that just large Pothos? Also just bought Plumeria obtusa. Is that really the same as P. bahamaensis as one book claims. This one has shiney leaves and the one I saw in the Keys were dull.

Tog Tan · 09-23-2008, 02:22 PM

Just went by a friend's house and took back a bunch of stuff which he kept for me for about 2 years ago when I moved house; 1 Vanda luzonica, 2 Vanda merillii, 1 Aerides odorata, 6 hybrid orchids and he was kind enough to give me 1 comp of Hedychium coronarium and 1 Occeoclades mamorata

cactus6103 · 09-23-2008, 02:53 PM

I just repotted several agave's(5) that were delivered in the spring. It's amazing how many roots some of them can produce. I also repotted one aloe that I picked up at Lowes on sale for $0.99. What a deal. Red

island cassie · 09-28-2008, 06:02 PM

Dragon fruit seeds from fruit I found in the market today - never seen them before much less tasted them! They had red skins and the flesh is an irridescent magenta color which looks amazing - they taste good too. Now I know I like them - I will rush back tomorrow to get some more.

Barbados Pride - the expensive seeds that I bought in England are doing nothing, but the locally picked seed germinates within the week, so the bought stuff must be old!! Grrr!

Also planted some pothos vine offcuts to climb up one of the fishtail palms that is flowering. I figure that if the palm is going to die in the near future, I might as well get a decorative covering going now. Of the 4 fishtail palms, one has local orchids planted on it, one has bromeliads, one has pothos and the last one has a small cut-leaved philodendron (or something similar) as well as that monster passiflora vitifolia.

lt_eggbeater · 09-28-2008, 06:41 PM

10 ginger plants between the bananas, 4 sagos, a replacement peach tree and a couple of giant birds of paradise.
