Comments (150)3 more over the weekend... Ruellia has little rootlets now. Heavenly Blue MG and a Pink or White MG that I had forgotten about! *********** On the otherhand in my little 4-shelf greenhouse, with my indoor-sown plants that are being hardened-off, I had zipped the flaps shut on Saturday night when it was rather stormy out there. What were nice healthy green plants on Saturday were crispy dead and black looking on Sunday morning. I don't think it got cold enough overnight to have been because of frost or anything.... so it must be from too much heat build up in there on Sunday morning (yeah, I didn't get out there till around lunch time.....) I managed to revive a few things and left the flaps open ever since! Ang...See MoreWould you pay extra for a tomato plant in a deep pot?
Comments (20)Well, based upon responses I got I decided not to go with an extra deep pot and instead will use the McConkey JMCTS4 which is a square pot 4 inches wide at the top and 3.5 inches deep. I chose the white color even though its costs slightly more for two reasons, you can write the name of the variety right on the pot with a sharpie and it really stands out, plus the white color will keep the plant roots from overheating when left out in the sun on a hot day. I found out the factory was just 10.1 miles from my house, and I was able to buy a case of 880 pots wholesale for only $51.18, which come to only 5.82 cents each, or about 6.4 cents each including sales tax. Most online sellers don't even offer white color, and charge about $100 for 500 pots which comes to about 20 cents each, plus you still have to pay for shipping. At the factory they also sell over-runs of special orders, they had some hot pink and fluorescent lime green pots for a dime each I was tempted to buy to see if they attracted customers. BTW, from a purely sales viewpoint, big plants sell first. Whenever I give my customers their choice of any plant of a particular variety they want they always go for the biggest plant, even if they have to move other plants out of the way to get to it....See MoreCalla (Z. aethiopica) planting extra deep?
Comments (0)Does anyone have any experience planting this calla extra deep to avoid digging in winter in zone 6b? I would cover with mulch as well, but the ground doesn't freeze very deep here, maybe 6-8 inches. So I'm thinking of planting Zantedeschia aethiopica about 10 inches deep, and mulching to try an experiment to see if they survive winter. Being strong (and tall) growers, I'm just wondering about this....See MoreCalla bulbs extra deep for survival in zone 6
Comments (2)Absolutely worth a try. I don't grow them but have heard people say their calla lilies have overwintered here and there, and I believe a few strains of the larger white c. aethiopica are much hardier than people give them credit for....See Moredodsky
