How long do watermelon vines grow?
Comments (6)The taste is ok, just the amount of seeds made it a pain to eat. We did Crimson Sweet ? last year in place of those and the vines didn't get too unruly. I placed a wire A-frame down the center. Those were better melons for us. Larger melons, more melons, and not a lot of seeds. I imagine with a little pruning you could grow a variety like that in a 3 foot deep terrace....See MorePlease give me ideas how to wrap my long pothos
Comments (1)my mother has a huge pot of pothos she was given by our church a year or so ago. she's really into the "country style" of decorating. what she did was took an antique rake, treated the wooden handle to avoid rotting and stuck that slightly off center in the pot. she wrapped the rest of the handle very thickly in sphagnum moss. the pothos took to climbing very quickly. she weaves a few of the ends in and out of the prongs on the rake but likes to leave most of those expose. the vines also hang pretty thickly over the sides of the container....See MoreHow long will it take for a pothos to grow this big?
Comments (16)Tibean, I've seen people water moss sticks in the erroneous belief that the climbing roots of the plant need water. Could someone be watering the pothos that way? The climbing roots are only functioning as support, so they don't need to be watered. As Petrushka noted, maybe occasional misting to prevent drying, but in my experience, that isn't usually necessary either. Also, I have only a phone screen to see the photo, but I think I see some yellow leaf edges, which likely means the plant is being overwatered. Obviously, that'll increase the likelihood of mold growth. Cut WAY back on water when the plant isn't actively growing. Most plants are more tolerant of drying out a bit than they are of staying wet. Pothos, like a number of other aroids, grows larger leaves as it grows upward. The higher it climbs, the larger the leaves get. You can see this phenomenon even in the growth of the plant in the photo. Pothos allowed to climb up trees into the canopy can grow 2-foot leaves. Even more interestingly, once a stem reaches a height and drops back down, the leaves on the dangling portion of the stem become smaller again. As Petrushka said, providing something to climb is imperative if you want large growth....See Morehow long do you let your hoya vines grow
Comments (4)Diane I do not cut my vines because leaves eventually grow at each node of the vine. In my case I haven't had a vine "yet" that hasn't grown any leaves. Recently I had a vine grow and only one leaf at a node grew but then later the other leaf popped out (opposite side but same node, different timing). To me hoyas are such slow growers anyway I don't want to cut anything on them to slow down the growing process even more!! Unless of course your vine dies for some reason, then of course I'd cut it back. I have only been growing hoyas for about a year though. I usually just wrap the vines around whatever support or macrame hanger I have it in once the vines long enough to do so. I also use Eleanor's VF-11 everytime I water and I also put (the water and eleanors that I mixed up to water my plants with) into a spray bottle and I try to mist my plants with that every morning but I ran out of time this morning and yesterday. I read somewhere it was better to mist them in the morning than in the evening so that's what I try to do. Third Question: If your hindu rope looks good I wouldn't change a thing. "if it aint broke, don't fix it" (I agree with Gabi) Everyone's growing conditions are different, some specific things work for everyone regardless of growing conditions and some just depend on your individual situation. Hope some of this helped you. shanna...See MoreUser
