Re: Lithops, fly traps, and pitcher plants (photo heavy)

I don't have very many neps yet, the only ones I've got not shown here are some ventratas. They're not so happy with my climate so I have to grow them inside on the windowsill. The fly traps, on...

Very sad banana pup needs TLC

I split my dwarf cavendish a couple of days ago. I left one pup attached to the mother corm and cut the other two off, then potted them all. The one left on is doing fine, and one of the others...

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)

I repotted an I'm-not-sure-what baby today.

(I bought a dwarf namwah and a double mahoi from the same buyer, and they came without labels. No idea which one is which, they're both more or less...

Re: Got a zebrina!

Well, trust the stores to get it all wrong! I'd rather a dwarf cavendish anyhow, actually. So hey, all good by me!

Cobra lilies and assorted seedlings

My bananas are sitting there like lumps and doing nothing at all. Transplant shock, I'm pretty sure, so they should be growing again soon. :P

Meanwhile I console myself with other plants! I just...

Re: What did you plant today (other plants)?

I planted chard seeds today, and catgrass, and also repotted some succulents, and put out some aloe cutting to see if they root.

Re: Got a lithops today!

Nobody around here has any! Well, a couple of people said they had some but sold out and won't be getting any more. I always seem to miss things like this. But ah well. That's what friends are...

Got a lithops today!

I was totally not looking for it. (Wasn't looking for bananas either, at a farmer's market in Oregon! But I saw two. If I had any more space to plant another, I'd have bought one.) Anyhow, wasn't...

Re: My container garden

I don't think there are any cacti that grow well with heavy rain several times a week. Western Oregon is a bit too wet for cacti.

Re: rude or dishonest vendors

Well, my little bananas came today. (I posted pics in the "what did you plant" sticky.) Communication was good, packing was good and shipping was timely. The only thing left to do is let 'em grow...

Re: Tastiest banana?

Re: What did you plant today (other plants)?

Re: Containers outdoors in zone 8 (newbie)

Nope, I water everything myself. :) Don't have a hose either, the apartment doesn't have an outside faucet, so I do it with a watering can.

It's my daily commune with nature. Get up, go out to...

Re: personally tried banana graft?

Because it's one single guy making the claim, and people who have been doing banana growing for years have never seen it?
