I potted up 2 Sago's, and later another Pineapple (6) :^)

As an aftermath of my oldest daughter's wedding this past weekend (beautiful wedding, could not have gone better, even with the heat), I'll be busily finding new homes for the many plants she chose for her "decor", being as how she has a degree in Sustainable Agriculture and Resource Management. The list includes canna (done !), euphorbias, salvias, and many, many succulents.........whew, I feel tired already. The ever shrinking lawn maybe?:ha:

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

Not planting, but thinking of it....has anyone any experience with the pink mimosa or silk tree? Saw one in bloom and wow....I think it would look great in my side yard!

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

I transplanted a Brugmansia "Serendipity" this morning.

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

I planted my second ever Elephant ear [don't know what kind]. I was told it will never get more than about 5 feet tall and the leaves will only be about 1-2 feet long but it's a start. :D
I also got a Jack's Giant [second photo] but I'm fighting spider mites before I plant it.

Beautiful, even sitting in it's pot in front of a brick wall. I like how the red is picked up/echoed in the wall. Should look great in your garden!

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

Well, not today, but over the last week or so, 100 hardy hibiscus "Plum Crazy" out in front of the house. We ripped up the old privet hedges and we're planting the hedge of hardy hibiscus. Now I won't have to get out there with the hedge trimmers in the spring when we're too busy.

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

What an interesting idea, Sandy!

I planted 6 palm seedlings today. I hope it isnt too late ;)

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

Not sure if I mentioned in April I spent two weeks planting about 50 trees on my new property in southern Costa Rica. Mostly fruit and shade and a few flowering things and bamboo. Google "Santiago Springs Costa Rica" to see the development --2.8 acres for one tenth of what a smaller lot would cost on the coast --only one and a half hrs. away. My dream is coming true!

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

I just hope i did this planting right.! I got some Bamboo cuttings...can anybody ID and advice. Thanks

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

Emily , just saw this one now the black stemmed bamboo is "Phyllostachys Nigra" Phyllostachys nigra - Black Bamboo - Poaceae, the yellow one with the green stripes is " Robert Young" http://http://www.lewisbamboo.com/ryoung.html

Usually they are propagated by cutting off bits of the rhizome. Did yours end up rooting?

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

Emily,

Bob is absolutely correct.;)

After I learned from Bob the name of the black stemmed bamboo, Phyllostachys Nigra, I found the following information for you from Propagating Phyllostachys nigra - Bamboo Forum - GardenWeb :

Quote:

It's no harder than any other running bamboo. You either need a division from an existing plant that includes a good sized root ball, or you need to start it from a piece of rhizome with viable buds. A division is the most reliable way; you may have anywhere from 0-100% success trying to start from rhizome pieces. You cannot propagate any running bamboo, including Ph. nigra, from branch or culm cuttings.

My neighbor grows Phyllostachys Nigra in her backyard for over 12 years. Those runner bamboos can be very invasive. :(

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

Thanks to all for the info!
i m still waiting for anything to happen ....the pots are all in different places of the garden from shade to partial ... i will post pics of any green !
Is been a month should i have seen any growing??

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

I may be mistaken but I think you need part of the root system (rhizome) to propagate bamboo

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

Four P. Dactylifera, one W. Robusta and one P. Canaiensis.

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

SoBe Musa, hope you caught the advise given in the posts below....yes, must be started from rhizomal material, yes, very invasive, so contain with barriers of some type, or be prepared for lots of maintenance to keep in bounds.:08:

Heres the radishes my son and I planted.

One out of six containers.. is just good to me!
Thanks Bob, for the info " Robert Young" Bamboo is the only one with a green growing, is in sun/partial sun!

"Phyllostachys Nigra"Bamboo is not happening !

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

Congrat's on the "Robert Young" it'll be growing in no time flat. I'd definitely try to get some roots of the Phylostachys Nigra..... and send some to New Jersey for a try:ha:

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

Had to show off my dinosaur succulent echeveria 'Black Knight' :)

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

Rain stopped for few hrs this morning and I couldnt help myself but had to plant one W. Robusta I germinated from San Diego seeds :)
Lets see how is it going to take Croatian Winter

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

Planted some Mediterranean Palm, King Palm and Guava seeds. Thanks to Tony (Sunfish).:0519:

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

Emily, if there clumping bamboo they can be rooted with culm cuttings [I'm sure you know that now]. Runners would have required the root cuttings.:2738:

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

Bought a 15gal Lady Palm at Home Depot, its 7 feet tall in the 20gal pot I have it in!!!!!! Looks awsome in my office!!!!! On sale for only $50, which was a steel considering that 15 gal lady palms normally go for several hundred $.

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

Only 50 dollars for a lady palm of that size is an AWESOME deal!!! Great find. I never saw one in my Home Depot, but I guess I'll have to keep on looking since they are one of my favorite palms, but way too expensive at the normal price!

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

Got a picture?:2722:

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

I had been trying to buy Sour Orange seedlings but had been unable to find any. Sour Orange is a superior citrus root-stock. They may be susceptible to a specific root disease but this is not a problem in a non-commercial environment where the roots of different citrus trees do not interlock. I had to resort to paying a relatively high price for a single fruit. The juice was very sour but good. I just planted the seeds today, and hopefully will have some seedlings soon. When or if they pop, I'll provide some pictures. :jalapenonaner:

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

Planted one W. Robusta , two T. Fortunei palm seedlings and one Nut.
Oh, Ken, U can make great liquer with sour orange. Very popular drink in Dubrovnik here.

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

I've been thinking about applying for a permit from the BATF&Ex to produce mango and Banana liquor. I just need to get fruit production up to those levels first.

Thanks Ante. :jalapenonaner:

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

I planted 2 of my 100 or so canna bulbs and repotted my dormant passiflora caerulea.

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

Planted some ginger and pepper seeds.

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

I will plant these today or tomorrow. They are super market finds I've been wanting to try.
Galanga

Tumeric

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

Palm seeds.

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

Dean, we must think alike. I was at the Asian market today and found some ginseng roots and bought them..... and potted them up!:ha: If they grow they'll go in the shade garden in spring. Also planted some Longan fruit seeds from another market.

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

Bob, you might try the American ginseng.

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

Phoenix Dactylifera and Sabal Blackburniana.
