Plant speak
Registrace 17. 01. 2015
Plant speak is a way for me to share and talk about plants. I was introduced to gardening at a very young age, and after years of experiencing and experimenting, I realized that sharing knowledge with each other about plants is a huge source of fuel in my life. Aside from my friends and family, nothing else seems more important than focusing on the natural world around us.
Amaryllis - flowering bulbs/caring for/waxed bulbs/how to grow/plant profile/target blooming
Ah, the amaryllis! Such a fantastic plant to have in your home, or if you're in zones 8-11, in your outdoor garden! It was hard to make a short video on this plant. There is so much to know about it! This video includes a plant profile, an explanation of waxed vs. non waxed bulbs, target blooming, growing preferences, dormancy cycles, troubleshooting in regards to no re-blooming, and toxicity.
I hope you enjoy, and, as always, please leave me any comments, questions, or stories regarding the amaryllis
Happy new year!

Nicandra physalodes- blue physalis/shoo fly plant/apple of peru/poisonberry/white fly insecticide
zhlédnutí 2KPřed rokem
A unique and underappreciated plant, in my humble opinion! If you enter the physalis genus, most people tend to prefer the beautiful orange-calyxed "Chinese lantern plant," or they want to consume their physalis plants and so they grow the edible options - cape gooseberries, or tomatillos. But this plant has it's own special feature - It's a whitefly deterrent! White fly is a common pest in the...

Anemone sylvestris is underrated if you ask me! They're secret toughies, extremely beautiful, and they have a sugary fragrance that'll keep you coming back for more! Sure, they will spread via their rhizomatous roots, but a spread of anemone sylvestris? Sounds pretty swell to me! This versatile perennial is often mistaken for a poppy.

Just discovered your channel. Really good content. Love your approach on things. Doesn't look like you've had any new videos in a while?
Thanks for the information, especially the part about this not being the actual edible purslane even though it is labeled that in the store. ❤Appreciate you!
Only problem is they get broken by heavy wet snow, or even just thick snowfall. Every winter mine get crushed to the ground and many stalks are broken. I have four plants along my walkway of about twelve feet. For the life of me I cannot see how to stake them as the branches go in every direction. Any covering would just smash them down harder. They are hardy and require almost no maintenance surviving more than twenty years in their present location and about ten years before than in cut thirty gallon barrels. Some years they do hold their flowers all spring and summer while other years not so much. Great for long color. It would be nice to help them during the snows, when they get flattened. This is in SE Alaska in a temperate rainforest on the coast with winters to single digits and rainfall sixteen feet or more.
show, don't tell
Can you plant the pods to start a new cologne?
I have a large bed of these in Suffolk UK but am aiming to establish new plants from seeds I have gathered. No problems with slugs. This was helpful . . . And charming. Thanks.
I love this! Thank you. Will be seeding some next growing season. ❤
!!!!!!!! DO NOT DIP IT IN THE CONTAINER OF ROOTING HORMONE TAKE SOME ROOTING HORMONE OUT !!!!!!!!!!!
@@RileyHarrington-rb7yu it’s true. I shouldn’t have done that.
the most amazing variety with astonishing colors is absolutely the thunbergia blushing susie
Very nice. Please show same things busy Lizzie how to grow more flowers and dead flowers how to move and more flowers grow
How lovelyyyyyy youre my new friend beautiful girlllll
So well done Thank You and made me smile too :)
It’s naz naz in my country Iraq. Or morning flower
😂😂 nicely done 👌👌 I enjoyed the video.
I have this in my yard. When we moved in five years ago, I thought that’s cute. Now it has spread like wildfire and taking over our yard. Now I’m horrified! My pet rabbits ate them and died. My husband was burning and one several caught fire, his lungs are burning from the toxic poison. This plant is so dangerous to keep around. Think of the children and the wild animals/rabbits running around eating this and dying a painful death. Basically burning them from the inside out. It’s raining most of the day but tomorrow, I am hoping to round up all of these plants. I’ll take round up for a week of indoor play instead of another year of this toxic plant in my yard. I definitely do not want my other animals to get ahold of this
I just bought a pack of these seeds off of seller on Etsy and I’m an experimental type and rather new to gardening and I had great success floating amaryllis seeds on peroxide / water. So I’m doing cerinthe major seeds. I took four of the eight seeds, put them in a cup of water with a tablespoon of peroxide into a glass jar and covered it with Saran-wrap and within three days I’ve already got roots forming on the seeds. It kind of blows my mind because it says 7 to 21 days. I’m gonna try dropping one in soil now, save three to see if they can keep spouting in the perixode water longer for roots. I’m rambling. Lovely video. Thank u.
Always wanted this flower and eventually bought one when showed up at the garden center. Planted it in my perennial bed and loved it. But..i ended up moving it to a spot it can take off in. It took a couple years to get all the little starts pulled out. They liked to pop up right in the middle of the other perenial plants. I thought i would never get rid of them but eventally after a couple years they disappeared. They are thriving in their new location and are beautiful.
En cusco pero se utilizamos. En relleno para cuy al horno le da un sabor único.
I have some coming up in a garden here in South Africa. I'm very interested to know if it actually did aid in keeping the whitefly away? Wonder if it would be any good to ferment and use as an IPM spray 🤔. Thank you for sharing.
O was given some in a bouquet and wondered if they could be rooted in water?
Thank you! I just got 4 plumed ones, magenta, 2 red and one orange. They look so good but slumping a little. Think I overwatered, only once a morning I swear! But also need a larger pot and sand/pebbles at the bottom I think.
I brought mine home from the nursery and set them out in the sun and before I even planted them they completely wilted. I planted them and they look terrible. What can I do? Will they come back?
I'm planting these, but they're getting tall but their leaves don't spread :(( they looks just like one long chives :((( can you tell me what's happening
Hi, Where did you get them?? I’m not convinced they are truly lily of the valley! Because they spread! Would you like to send a photo to my Instagram??
@@plantspeak7117 I bought them online through a friend, and hers leaves did spread, I don't know what happened to mines ;-;
I am a horticulturist..and pulmonarias will grow in pots or planter trays in cool shady spots with plenty of moisture. I have a few differnt one.a pure white called Sissinghurst white witj spotted foliage ..its named after an english castle. Plus have colour change one pink to blue with spotted foliage.and a deep blue one with spotted foliage..there is a deep pink with spotted leaf....not seen it yet..if i do i will buy it Hardy pretty plants...they do flower a long time in my garden followed by pretty spotted leave..which last till frosts come
I’m in planting zone 9B, do you think full sign is still OK? I mean that Sonoran desert sun is pretty harsh I just bought my first portulaca and I’m trying to decide where to put it I’m thinking morning sun
I totally get what you mean about the word shrub! 😂 Love your video style, very entertaining and full of knowledge 👍
Love lobelia. Great presentation.
So Glad I found this channel! You made compost seem less intimidating. Thanks.
This was really good. Told me exactly what I needed to know about whether or not they would become bushy in response to pinching.
I bought a Lilly Of The Valley plant at a library sale four days ago and already the little flowers are turning brown. I keep it on the window sill and water it every day but already the flowers are turning brown. What is the problem with it.?
it’s sad
All it costs is your love!
awesome
I am in Ottawa Canada. Some type of anemone has volunteered into my garden. It is either snowdrop or tall thimble weed. How can you tell them apart? From the pictures on the internet they look similar. I need to know because I want to keep my garden native only and snowdrops are not native to Ontario
My favorite flower! Never knew how toxic it was.
We ordered seeds from Amazon. Guest what happened!🤷🏻♀️ ONLY one seed germinated AND it was an entirely different plant. Aren't you shocked?😏 I think we'll buy seeds from another reputable seed co. I really want this beautiful plant in our garden.
Hmm I’m not sure if I would ever buy seeds on Amazon!!! Is there a local seed exchange where you live? Or gardening clubs ???
@@plantspeak7117 lesson learned😔... NEVER again!😩 Possibly, I'd have to look for one in my area.🤷🏻♀️ We first saw it on a local garden tour, so I might write to the gardeners and see if they'd mind sending us some of their seeds.☺️
😂👍🏽 drawing ✍️ and efforts 👏🏽
Mandevi-ya!
Oh Ms Mandevilla, enchanté. Thy wit, charm and insight hath bewitched me. I offer you my humble subscription as a token of my appreciation, praying that our paths may chance upon each other once more. Fare thee well, with admiration. Thy faithful newly subscriber.
Thanks for your video and description of plant parts. I have lots!!! Will move some to a patch where garlic wants to come up.
its a lotta ppl say this is a very healthy plant esp for the heart some ones lieing
Are they deer resistant?
I have mostly edibles in my back yard but I planted shoofly in hopes of controlling flies. I planted it at the base of my grapes, which got blasted with little flies last summer. Fingers crossed this will be beneficial! It's already 3 feet tall and in full Arizona sun. I hope it will be able to withstand the heat!
This is a bloody weed on my lawn. It’s out growing everything. Spreads so fast
I agree, they are underrated. Mine still looks like parsley right now and I can’t wait to see the flowers
The root and flowers are used to effectively treat heart conditions.
Yes; perhaps in specific doses administered by a doctor or health care professional. For my purposes as a plant growing out of the ground it shouldn’t be consumed .
I have never been able to grow them 😭😭
It’s so funny. We have lived in our house for almost 9 years and every year until this year, we’ve only had maybe 10 plants pop up. Always around that many. Today, I was outside and noticed we’ve got at least 20-30 plants coming up. That’s what prompted me to look into LOTV. I had no idea it was toxic, or that it was invasive. Despite all of that I’m letting them live their wild life. Our house is 120 years old and I like to think that some beautiful lady from many years ago planted them, and the kick she’d have in knowing what she planted years ago, still remains.
I LOVE that story :). Thanks for sharing with me. I know… it’s just so special. Worth the invasion !
I'm not sure about the toxicity. I didn't know either. Last year I dug up maybe a hundred of them from a back corner of my yard (also from a prior owner) and transferred them to an area outside my fence. No gloves or anything and nothing happened. The root systems are like a carpet about 8" down, very hard to dig up by hand.
Keep up the good work
You are great
Best info I found. Thank you!!!!
