How to kick start growth!
In this episode, I'm going to show you how I get trees growing again! For just 20 bucks and some sulpher, fertilizer, and some micro spray heads, I'm going to take 5 trees from zero growth to quadruple the size in just one grow season! In this episode I treat a shangri la mulberry, a Pakistani mulberry, a black mission fig, and I went back the next day and treated an arizona ash, a moringa, and an anna apple tree. I have done videos in the past with my neighbors, Hong Kong Orchid, and had amazing results, and now these are my next patients!
Don't listen to anyone who tells you all you need to do is dig a hole, plop your plant in, and fill it back in, then water. Native soil is loaded with minerals but high in ph and lacking nitrogen almost completely with very little phosphorus or potassium, not to mention almost zero oxygen! It gets hard as concrete when dry, like pudding when wet, and very hot in summer. Don't just throw any fertilizer on the ground without testing first! Too much of either n p or k and your plants will suffer and possibly die, not enough, and your plants at the verry least won't grow but could also die after struggling.

keeping the greenhouse warm during winter will be a challenge
@@frostylonewolf1700 Yeah you're going to need a lot of heat!
i decided i will get a 6x4x6.5 greenhouse
i'm going to get a greenhouse that is 8.2 feet in height
@frostylonewolf1700 That's a pretty good height! When a you getting it?
i plan on heating it for the winter for some or for a certain amount of tropicals
still thinking if the greenhouse should be a little bit bigger for more of my tropicals
@@frostylonewolf1700 it depends on how tall and wide you need. Are you planning on heating it in the winter?
4x6 foot greenhouse
great news gonna get a greenhouse next month
@@frostylonewolf1700 no way, that's awesome. How big?
i had ordered a dwarf lady finger banana plant
@@frostylonewolf1700 you are going to be the banana plant king of your town! Haha.
Have you grown Moringa?
@Not2daysatan I grow a lot of moringa. I usully just trim my trees, stick the trimmed branches in a pot and water. 9 times out of 10 they grow fast!
just got in a kokopo banana
@@frostylonewolf1700 nice do a video!
i said i hope i get watermelon or that i grow bananas
@@frostylonewolf1700 weird that it would be removed?
i notice my comments have been getting deleted lately idk why
@@frostylonewolf1700 for real? What did you say?
i'm trying to figure out how to keep a greenhouse warm during winter
i'm thinking i will get a 6x8 foot greenhouse for winter
i just ordered a kokopo banana plant so i can't wait for both to come in kokopo and raja puri
@@frostylonewolf1700 both of mine died.
i was thinking of using a heat mat
@@frostylonewolf1700 it would probably help
i'd like to find a way to raise heat for my indoor bananas
@@frostylonewolf1700 use a mini heater in a indoor greenhouse
its just i don't have a ton of room indoors i can't have everything i want
it would be nice if i could grow more then 1 variety of banana
@@frostylonewolf1700 so do it!
do i need to use fungicide after propagating banana pups to reduce fungus?
@@frostylonewolf1700 no just don't keep them wet.
i hope i don't have to spend years just to get a true raja
someone spent years just to get true raja puri
@@frostylonewolf1700 probably. There are lots of imposters out there.
i spent 75 dollars for raja puri so i hope its the right plant
@@frostylonewolf1700 for that proce I bet it is.
to be fair bananas aren't meant to be grown in zone 4b they are mostly grown in tropical areas
i found out it will take me 3 years to get fruit from a veinte cohol then 3 to 4 years for raja puri
@@frostylonewolf1700 sounds about right.
i had ordered a raja puri banana plant it may not be true to type since i heard that variety is extremely hard to get
@frostylonewolf1700 I had one but it died last year.
it was pups i had help propagating them from the parent plant
why are my banana pups growing slow, they were propagated?
@frostylonewolf1700 if they are tissue culture they will take a wile to grow, if they are harvested pups they will grow roots first then grow on the top.
I have a question. I just received chaya cuttings off Etsy and I was looking at them. They have this almost clear plastic looking center at the top of each cutting. Is that where the sap forms or have I been scammed? Thanks for any help.
@JCC_1975 I don't know what could cause that? When I do cuttings, they don't ooze any sap at all. nore do they ooze sap when growing. If you want to send me a picture, you can text it to my business phone number 4806523434. I'll let you know what I think. If you are local, you can swing by my house, and I can cut some fresh cuttings for you free of charge.
@@edibles_and_exotics Thank you. I'll send a picture of them. I'm unfortunately not local, I'm in NW GA
@JCC_1975 yeah, that would be a pretty far drive for chaya cuttings. Great I'll keep en eye out for the pictures.
@@edibles_and_exotics thank you, I just sent it. It's coming from 706 area code. Thanks, Jennifer
@@edibles_and_exotics thank you again for your help!! 💜 happy growing 💜
i'd like to show you my bananas its on youtube
my veinte cohol banana is 3 feet tal with the stalk so will not produce fruit this year
would be nice to get bananas this year, may not happen till next season
well my bigger banana plant is still growing its growing quick rn
@frostylonewolf1700 That's awesome!!!! I had a bunch of fruit but the wind snapped the stalk and the bananas died.
i have some more banana pups on the way
@@frostylonewolf1700 nice how are your old ones doing?
i put my avocado tree in a 3 gallon terra cotta pot its not as wide on the bottom and same diameter on top
@frostylonewolf1700 that should work they breathe pretty good.
i ordered tree pots in the meantime i need to use a pot i have that is not as wide
i'm thinking i would rather use grow bags
yeah i can't find any pots that are deep
@@frostylonewolf1700 try a local tree nursery they may give you a few fro free.
i'm trying to look for deep pots
@@frostylonewolf1700 look for tree pots.
my avocado is in 3 gallon size pot
@@frostylonewolf1700 that may be too wide go for narrow and deep next time.
i wonder whats the best way for me to grow avocadoes in containers in my zone
@@frostylonewolf1700 well draining deep pots.
i notice one of my avocadoes had some white roots but still died off
@frostylonewolf1700 I lose avocados sometimes, too. They don't like root tip damage at all weather from disease or damage. That's usually what does them in.
So u dont water it at all for 4-6 weeks?
Sorry I was referring to the Air Pod Method.
@PewPewDoc I check them and if they are going dry I will add a little water. Most of the time I air layer in fall winter and spring so they usully stay damp enough. Summer is just too hot for me unless it's an emergency.
Hello I did a couple of branches on a lemon tree at a friend's house and when I came back the bag of soil and roots were kinda dry but I cut the branch anyway and put in a container with soil will that cutting work if rhe bag of soil and roots were dry the branch was very healthy with fruit on it I just cut it 2 days ago
@rockit2664 it's worth a shot. Just keep it in the shade keep the soil moist not wet, and watch that the leaves don't start to wilt.
@edibles_and_exotics thank u for the reply I will keepnin shade and keep an eye on the leaves if they do start to wilt is there anything I should do & is there any fertilizer I should use I have the Alaska fish emulsion 5-5-5
@rockit2664 don't fertilize for a few months until you get good top growth, and then it slows down. If you get wilting make sure the soil is draining good and then remove some leaves and possibly create a more humid environment for them but make sure you still have air flow or they will mold.
Beloved thank you i dont have any fancy stuff i did it before and used ordinary soil with horse manure thats well cured and i had good results so i plant to keep right on doing this.
@bobmarley965 that's awesome! Thanks for the comment, and thanks for watching!!!!!
yeah they are doing good
i had help removing my 2 banana pups and planted into separate grow bags
@@frostylonewolf1700 are they doing good?
How did they do. Smaller one took I bet. Larger 50/50??
@margaretPerez-v8z so far so good not much top growth but they are still alive and doing good in the 118° heat! Right now I water them once a week and they get about 6 hours of afternoon summer sun. I'm going to remove some more in the fall and pot them up.
do you keep your avocadoes off the ground?
@frostylonewolf1700 I do some times but in summer here the soil dries out so quick I just watered enough daily to keep the top 3 inches moist.
either way its ok i had started bacon avocado seeds in June
@frostylonewolf1700 That's awesome! My outdoor avocados are doing good but got some sun burn. I'm letting them adapt this year to the heat so next year when they are bigger they can cope better.
