1 . I took the dried seed pods from siberian iris when can I plant them in the garden.
You'll have better luck getting new plants started if you so the Siberian iris seeds in a seed flat with potting soil. Although you may get a few to germinate in garden soil, they will easily be overc...
2 . How do you prepare and plant coneflower seeds for fall or spring planting.
Hi There's not much to do really. You can harvest the mature flowerheads and pull the petals (seeds) off the flower and store in a dry envelope in a cool, dark location till spring. Or, you can leave...
3 . HI, A FEW WEEKS AGO I SENT A QUESTION ABOUT HOW TO TRANSPLANT LAZY SUSAN VINE COULD YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW SOMETHING ASAP THANKS A BUNCH D. KEITH
Hi We answer all questions that arrive in our inbox so perhaps your answer went into your spam filter. At any rate, Black-eyed Susan vine doesn't transplant particularly well. It depends on how old t...
4 . We want to dry the seeds from our tomatoes to grow next spring. They were delicious this year and hopefully we can start the same ones from this years crop for next year. Can we do this? Thank you
Were the tomatoes that you grew from hybrid seed, or are they an heirloom variety? Heirloom varieties generally will come true from seed while hybrids will not. If you want to save tomato seeds you...
5 . I bought ptilotus exaltatus plants early this summer and they thrived. I would like to try to propagate them. A few weeks ago, I took what I thought were seeds from the flowers and put them in potting soil and nothing has germinated. Obviously I did something wrong. How can I propagate them? I'm not sure I'll find them for sale again in my area next spring. Thanks.
Hi This plant is a tough one to propagate. They can be grown from seed, but germination is generally very poor and the seeds are very slow to do anything. Most plants sold for retail are from tissue ...
6 . Large red pods on my camellias have broken and there are many seeds around the camellia bushes. Is it possible to plant the seeds and grow new plants? Our soil is red clay for the most part and the plants seem to do well with around 4 hours of sun. We live in the south and that is why I am assuming that this plant does well.
Camellias can be started from seed, but the resulting plant is likely to be inferior to the parent from which the seed came, and it will take several to many years for it to reach blooming size. If yo...
7 . I am new to growing thing and do not yet have a green thumb. I am planning on growing some bhut jolokia (ghost chilies) indoors. and want to know if the seasons affect indoor plants. What I realy need to know is if I can germinate the seeds at any time or if it is absolutly nessesary to wait till the recomended time of year.
Hi You should always wait till the recommended time of year because if your chiles sprout indoors, they could grow too tall and leggy because you can't provide them with the sunlight they need and yo...
8 . Is it possible to harvest seeds from this year's periwinkle and gerbera daisy plants for next year?
Hi, Thanks for writing. You can save seeds from these plants. However, they may not come true to form next year --- meaning the plants you get won't be the same varieties you grow this year. So if ...
9 . Hello! I have collected many Viola, Johnny-Jump-up, Sweet Pea and Marigold seeds over this summer. How long will these seeds last if dried out?? I live in Washington State. Thank you!!
Length of seed viability is dependent on a number of factors. One is species. Some species don't store well at all. The ones you mention are not particularly difficult to store, however. The other c...
10 . i'd like to know when is the best time to use a mango pit to plant a mango tree
Use mango pits from fully ripe mangoes. The fruits should be soft, not firm. Remove all the fruity flesh and plant the seed immediately for best results.
11 . I planted a few seeds of the Aloe Vera plant and only one came up. Now it looks like it just won't mature or even grow so I can transplant it to another pot. What did I do wrong or how can I help it to grow?
Hi Well I would not say you did much wrong. Succulents like aloe vera can be VERY difficult to grow from seed especially if you don't have perfect greenhouse conditions. At this point, all you can do...
12 . When should I spread wildflower seed?
Hi This totally depends on where you live. You did not give a location so it's tough to help. In general though, if you live in a milder climate a fall sowing is fine, in a colder climate a spring on...
13 . How deep do I plant corn seed
Plant corn seed one to two inches deep.
14 . I planted vegetable seeds in small containers 5 days ago. I wanted to check if the seeds had started germinating so I dug through the soil and touched the seeds with my hands. Will the seeds die now that I've touched them?
No, your seeds will be fine.
15 . I have yucca aloifolia bulbs lots of not ready to plant them yet,Do I put water in bucket until i'm ready to plant them? When I do plant them whats best for the sloil? Tam
Hi Tam, Thanks for writing. If you're not ready to plant them in the ground yet, I'd pot them up in nursery pots using compost or potting soil. Then plant them in the ground when you are ready --- ...
