ALL of My Snake plants-I mean Sansevieria I mean Draceana Tour!! Some Rare but all are Amazing!
My mother in law left hers with us and I didn't even know what it was. It's in a non draining deco pot in common soil, left a few feet away from a north facing window. It was so leggy I had no idea what kind of plant I was taking on. Now that I know what it is, I know how sad it is, but I'm excited to get it back to how it should be! I already moved it into better sunlight and it's got new leaf structures growing more like how I see in other kalanchoe plants. I'm going to try to prune the leggy vines and see how it feels and if it will redirect energy into growing and blooming again. 😊
Beautiful plants. Thank you for sharing your information.
Thanks! Check back soon for round 2. I have new snake plants to share
Many people don't know how to properly enjoy aji peppers. They often make the mistake of taking half a teaspoon of hot pepper sauce, only to be overwhelmed by the intense heat. In a panic, they reach for water or bread to cool the burning sensation in their mouth, vowing never to try spicy food again. The right approach is to start with a tiny amount, as small as a grain of rice, and gradually increase the quantity until you find the perfect balance between the delicious flavor and the heat.
Once I've put the seeds in the plastic bag, do I need to water them again, and if so, how often?
No just get the soil damp and seal it off. It should stay damp but not wet. Only if for some reason it gets dried out then I’d mist it with water and reseal.
That is oriental bittersweet, an invasive species from china, it’s not actually grapevine. It’s possible it’s native bittersweet but based on how aggressively it’s wrapped around itself I’d say it’s oriental.
“Thanks kitty!”
Happy accident
Time to go for a swing!
If I was 20 years younger lol
Almost thought it was a noose for a sec lol. Don't need another person filming a body in a forest
Nope just a really old grapevine.
So which side do you use for pulling up the thatch with the metal detaching rake . . The angles blades or the side with the straight blade ?
I use the angled on for like tearing through and the straight side to rake it away. However some tell me I do it wrong but it seems to work for me. Try it both ways and see what does best for you. Good luck
thank you! I learned a lot!
I’m glad I could help!
#1 That seems to be the case with the jade plant too.
Yes those propagate easily as well
thx
Welcome
Why would anybody want to see the Miracle Grow fail? It won't fail. If it didn't work, MG wouldn't be worth 4.3 billion dollars as of 2023. Believe it folks, MG works better than most anything.
YAY!!!!!!!!!!
I hope you get some rain soon
@@DaveTheHillsideGardener Bone Dry Brother! Ida hadda rain party with all that beautiful rain you got.
Beautiful collection! I don’t know why people call it snake plant or mother in law’s tongue when to me it clearly looks like fire. Why not fire plant? 😂
Thanks! Not really sure. Maybe the patterns on the leaves resemble snake skins? We should call them flaming snakes and see if it catches on?
Hello. I have the same plant. I had it for a year. It has grown 5ft tall. I have plant sticks holding it up. Should I cut the top to propogate. I already have lots of baby pups that have fully grown.
I always do. Or else it will get really lanky
Hi Dave. I always enjoy your tours whether it be good or bad. That's nature and we accept it and deal with it. Here in SW PA its another 90's week. No complaints though -- better than snow. Have a great week. -Jim Ps don't forget about a coleus video in the fall. (Overwintering). I have Twist & Twirl. Thanks.
Good to hear from ya! Supposed to cool off soon. Fingers crossed
Those pitcher plants are really cool to see. You almost hope for fungus gnats inside probably. LOL We are thinking of going with a Sundew and possibly Fly Trap this cold season inside. Great video. Looks like a cool pepper variety. When peppers get wrinkly like that they make good for blister cooking like a Shishito or smoking for smoked pepper powder. Thanks for the share!
Yeah actually we had a fungus gnat outbreak last year from some fruit. I brought my plants in for winter and no more gnats lol. You want seeds from the pepper?
@@DaveTheHillsideGardener Thanks tons but no seeds for now. We are currently overwhelmed and disorganized over here but if convenient ramping up for next season would love to share some seeds both ways. :)
Pitcher plants are so cool!
I think so too!
Fantastic video - thanks for sharing and explaining in detail.
No problem hope this helps
Thanks for the information
No problem. Hope it helps
Thanks!
Thank you!!
Same weather here in Serbia, they are already combining corn more than a month earlier than usual and it has humidity of less than 10 %. In the last 3 months, we had 10mm of rain only.
It’s the same here worst drought in25 years almost at the “record “ from 110 years ago. It’s been tough
Me too! It's hard to be brave with such a beautiful plant. He really understands!
Thank you. Much appreciated
I'm definitely going to get some. I want to make a bonsai out of it.
That’s my plan
part 2?
Not of this particular plant but I just posted a new video on propagating other kalanchoe
At 100 degrees, plants can't absorb enough water from roots to account for transpiration from the leaves. Once drought damages the vasculature of the plant, it fails to thrive and/or slowly dies. Shade cloth can help. Here in the PNW which is much cooler, I built a shade-house structure for the brassicas and they did great. I also put shade cloth over zuchini and on really hot days (88 degrees here) I shaded the tomatoes! The entire planet is in trouble as far as food production goes. Temps around the globe are rising at a fantasic rate. In Antartica's winter, it's been 50 degrees above normal (normal is -70F now it's -20F) what will the summer bring? We rapidly need to share strategies for growing! Gardeners, be Undaunted !
We’re in a severe drought in WV. Unlike most places, on the mountains we basically have no topsoil so it dries out even faster than the valley. Last year I only watered 3 times because it rained so much. Hopefully this is just a bad year and returns to normal soon. Definitely going to mulch better next year just in case
@@DaveTheHillsideGardener I live in the rain shadow of the mountains. Last year, we got 11 inches of rain! Even though my land is fairly flat, I put in berms and swales and then partially filled the swales with organic material (hay & woodchips) and covered the berms with woodchips and nitrogen fixing ground cover seed. I was surprised how well the system held water. Well planned, berms and swales can also mitigate floods. See Geoff Lawton's 'Berms and Swales' here on CZcams.
Oh yes I watch all of his videos as well
My Coleus went 3 weeks without watering this year. Fn amazing... they didnt look so well, but 1 day of watering they looked great. Coleus a very hardy beautiful plant... a nice surprise. :)
Yeah they rebound pretty nicely
Man i love how pretty these plants are but tge stems are soo fragile
Yea I can see that. They propagate easily so don’t throw them out
@@DaveTheHillsideGardener I haven't been, the plant I got was so small that every time it gets bumped in my green house half the stems snap, I finally had the 2 inch pot looking full and healthy and a cat got in my green house and knocked it off the shelf that's why I looked up your video, I was hoping to get some tips for growing it quickly
@drakeweddner tip cuttings. Three to 4 leaves. Put in damp patting soil mixed with perlite. Let dry out between waterings. Lots of light but not full on direct sunlight
Thank you!
Very welcome. Good luck
In your first video you did the winter sowing method, what happened with the seeds using that method? I've been looking into winter sowing for next year so am very curious.
I didn’t watch them close enough and left the container closed and they burnt up. It will work just be careful no to cook them lol
Your "garden" needs some work. And me being from South West Florida, you should water more.
The part you don’t know. I’m active military and was gone for a while. The video is titled what survived the drought without my help. Not why didn’t you water more
@@DaveTheHillsideGardener all good
Do not let your tomatoes ripen on vine 😤 during dry hot weather especially. Plant needs that energy
I have lots of rue. I love to rub it and touch it to release the scent. Love it. We also use it to make tea!! Rue tea is great for many health issues! We have had no problems and the kids even roll around on top of it while playing outdoors! Nothing has happened here. I love rue
It’s the sap from inside the stems that can cause irritation in some people not the leaves. It has the same effect as poison ivy but not everyone is affected by it
Mother of millions and mother of thousands are two different varieties. You have the mother of millions. Mother of thousands have broad spoon shaped leaves.
Welp I’m glad I watched this cuz my lil plant must’ve been stressed. I’ve just been letting it grow and watering it💀 I knew flower were supposed to bloom or at least they did when I first got it and I couldn’t understand why they never sprouted😭 I have to go do some pruning and re soil it
Good luck. Once you get the hang of it it’s pretty easy
That’s a nice succulent collection! I should do that too next year! 🙏🌵
Thanks! I have a bunch of videos about them as well
This video is great! Gives me hope. Just purchased 2 big ones end of season looking a little sick. But hoping to bring back to life. I too am in zone 6 Massachusetts northeast.
Deep mulch. Hopefully they pull through
You need to install a drip or something. I did it this yr count me about $100. Best choice I ever made. Live in central md. Same heat as u. Nothing dead but cucumbers and xuchinni thanks to the bugs. Everything else is still cooking.
It’s been a rough summer for sure. Im probably looking at a gravity fed rain barrel drip for next year
It's called 40% shadecloth.
Hi I think that's bacularis
Scientifically yes but the common name is Mikado where I’m from. Same plant just different names.
😊😊
Its one of my favorite succulents.
They’re neat little plants!
U have to cover them to protect from the heat and also water more.
I knocked a leaf off and stuck it in the soil. It literally grew a whole new plant over the summer.
Yep they will root easily. Great for sharing plants
You can substitute them for asparagus recipes but they're more garlicky, but very sweet
I like to make pesto from them. It’s really simple and delicious
When you cut the seed pods off and are green can you dry them out and will the grow or do ui have wo wait for the seeds pod get brn on the plant
They need to be black. Let the pods go til completely dry. They should fall out of the seed pod.
Loved the coin drop sound! Made me laugh. 😂 Here in zone 6b it's been dry like the Sahara. Watering daily. I have a dwarf pomegranate for 2 years now that has beautiful orange colored blooms and fruit on it. It's one of my favorite plants that I overwinter in my garage. All my snakes are outside sucking up the summer sunshine. No matter what though, I'll take the drought over Old Man Winter! Thanks for the vid brother.
Thanks fellow desert dweller. Hopefully we don’t get a bad winter for our reward. It’s been a tough year for sure
The heat and lack of rain has been terrible. Glad to know there are some great options.
It’s been the driest summer I can remember. At least some things are still growing in this heat
I have 2 they ha ve no buds and were in august sigh.... u don't know if I should pull it or not
How long ago did they germinate?
