Lol! Yep...depressing but why not give it a shot. Should I leave them in the water for a few days or go ahead and plant them? Or should I plant them in the 5 gallon buckets and go from there? Any idea which one I might see growth from?

Does it look like a wild type? Is it salvageable? Should I go ahead and cut off the brown twig-like things that have no leaves or buds?

I bought these sticks at big Lots for a dollar. Supposedly they are roses... Anyway, the packaging called one a Blue Boy and the other was a "Tropicana"? I've never seen them personally but I thought they were pretty online. I can't see any green before soaking them in water and one if the...

Can anyone post a photo of what a small rose seedling/sprout looks like?? I'm afraid I might have inadvertently picked up poison ivy....

I would dearly love to get irises. Of course I have to want the weird ones: blacks, dark purples, oranges...but I've never grown them before. Does one rhizome give you one plant? How do you get more than one plant? I've read you can divide the rhizomes every 3-4 years...how? Where can I get...

Does it being from a root mean that it won't flower at all? I'm not particular about colors...just want something pretty to look at. Should I continue feeding/fertilizing the big plant or leave it alone? How do I prune? What parts do I prune off? At the moment, I've already given it some...

Sothe little plant..does it need to be transplanted ASAP or can it be overwintered indoors to keep it from becoming deer chow until it's bigger? The size of the small plant is literally no larger than two baby spinach leaves together.

We found a rose bush (poor thing) in our yard of the house we're buying. It has buds on it, a dark shade of Pink...Magenta? Anyway, it's been pruned to heck and alot of it is rotted through and dead-looking. I've weeded around it, fertilized it and have put some potting soil on it. I found a...

How do I choose which ones to keep and which ones to cull? How can I use the turnip tops??

I've been growing these outside and the temps have started plummeting. I just set up an indoor "greenhouse" if you will. I didn't realize the seeds would take quite so well...all of them seem to have sprouted up and are co-mingling. Should I trash it and start over? Or risk damaging the...

Will I need to move it into another pot eventually or will it be alright in that pot? I LOVE this plant! Every morning you see it start to unfurl and at the end, you see it come together!

Oh yay!!!! Every day you see it unfurl and then close up! I LOVE this plant!!!

So THAT'S what a praying plant looks like when it's praying!!! I thought all of the leaves folded up into spirals when it prayed! I didn't realize the entire plant came together! Coolness!!!

Wow? Already? I just got it 2 days ago and put it into it's pot?

The leaves seem to be coming towards the center of the plant? Is that normal? It almost reminds me of how an artichoke looks (as in the edible part) that looks like it's layered. This is what it looked like a few days ago: Is it that I'm misting it too much? Anything I'm doing wrong or is it...

Luckily, mine are growing in pots, so no bed issues. As of today, it's around 84* during the day, 54* at night. Hopefully we'll go back to those nice 50* highs again soon. :( I "believe" the sun rises about 7AM and sets at 7PM, so 12 hours. My plants are on the westerly facing patio...

:D Thank you! It looks even better this evening! I've been misting in the morning and evening. Is there anything else I can do to make sure it survives? Do you think the soaking in the water helped at all? I thought for sure it was a goner. Do I mist each and every leaf? Do I leave the mist...

I don't know!! I felt so bad about leaving it there...I just had to go back and get it. I LOVE purple, so it was right up my alley! Here's some shots from just a few minutes ago:

Not that I'm questioning you, but is there a possibility it could be a type of Calathea??? I just can't find any of the Prayer Plants that have the maroon underside with the same pattern on top as the plant I have. If it is a prayer plant though...awesomeness!!! I've misted it for tonight...

OMG!!!! I walked in from working with Max and almost all of the leaves are flattening out! That happened fast! Is it true that prayer plants will close up at night and open up during the day?
