Joy Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers

Congrats, Luke. Great that they are ripening for you!


Nice shots Steve and Yug. Thanks for the info, everyone.


Yeah, that venus flytrap of mine is real busy right now. I can't believe how much it's growing at this time of year. It seems to be feeding itself and too many times I killed VFT's from over-feeding. Not this time though.


I give it distilled or purified water too, because I killed a few of them from using plain old tap water. We'll see how it continues to do...

Help, I am trying to over winter my pepper plants inside and I know you are the expert on this. Should I cut them back or???? I know I have been away for sometime, trying to get back in the swing of things, just been soooooo darn busy, hoping you can help. One of them is a Tabasco and the other is a spicy little devil like a Thai and they are hanging in there but wonder if there is more I should be doing. Thanks so much

Thumbs up Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers

It's real easy Joan...as long as you can provide warmth and sunshine. The most common killer of indoor pepper plants are spider mites...so I suggest you shower your pepper plants in the tub each week, paying special attention to the undersides of the leaves.


A south or east window would be ideal, but west and north can work too. I fertilize my pepper plants if they are actively growing and producing throughout winter. This keeps them happy and the yields substantial.


I prefer to save seeds from my pepper plants and start new ones each year. Although pepper plants can be perennial indoors, I find them more vigorous and plentiful when they are young and new. Older pepper plants tend to get woody and tough, and often pruning them is necessary so that new fresh branches can grow.


Is it possible to see a picture of your plants though Joan, before I recommend pruning them? Are they actively growing and producing?


You'll want to also make sure you rid the plants of any insects before bringing them in, by re-potting them into new sterile soil for indoors. Then you'll want to check the plants over for any pests and shower them. If given enough warmth and light, they should continue to grow for you all winter long!


Hope this helps. Let me know how they work out for you...

My double hybrid petunia plant that I grew from seed in my aero-garden is about to bloom soon...





It's from a mix so I'm looking forward to seeing the color...

I love this Jasmine vine and can't wait for it to start growing again in spring...





Those are some Orinoco banana pups off to the right of the pic.

Awesome pics as always Sherry! Is that Jasmine a condeferate jasmine? I have a nice sized one that bloomed indoors (still has a few blooms on it) and the fragrance was amazing. It really fills up a room at night, its one of my favorite blooms! Hopefully it will bloom again when it goes back outside in a few weeks!

The Jasmine looks like a Madagascar Jasmine (Stephanotis) to me.

love the foliage on the jasmine. does it stay green all winter? we have a regular jasmine(forget the name actually) but it defoliated for the winter time, and is now just starting to push out buds again. Thankfully, we thought maybe it was a gonner lol.
