No! Your average last frost date (50% chance of 32 degrees) is Mar 1. Even pushing the envelope to use the average last FREEZE (50% chance of 28 degrees) you're still looking at January 31. But don't feel bad, you're lucky both those dates are relatively soon, I have to wait until May. You could start them inside now, and plant out in February with some protection...

Do not even invoke bud blast on me! I refuse to accept it! I may have another problem, though. The oxalis I planted it the same pot isn't doing too well. I think it might be that the pot is staying too wet. We have had rain every day around here, and although it's a clay pot, it never seems to dry out. I saw some yellow leaves on the brug. I'm going to see what it might be. I'm going to HD now to get the diatomaceous earth.

If you shake the coconut you should be able to hear the liquid sloshing around inside. That means it's still good. If you don't hear (or feel) any liquid sloshing around then it can mean one of two things. Firstly, that it has already started to sprout and has used up that liquid. Second, that it is dead and that's the end of the story. If you check it out you'll see they have what you could call 3 sides. Not completely flattened, more rounded but still 3 sides. Lay them on the larger side (2 will be the same, smaller) on soil, no need to bury. They don't have a tap root, but a whole series of roots more like cables. These break through the husk and enter the soil. The shoot will come out the top and put out a few small leaves. They like good strong sunlight, and of course warm temperatures. They don't need seawater, but some people give them a bit now and then. Seawater contains a lot of minerals they would naturally get from being coastal plants. Not essential though. You've probably seen photos of them growing on beaches where they sometimes get waves breaking onto them and get salt spray a lot of the time. Good luck with it.

Howdy, Wood Native...how ya doing? Your lucky you found S. Whitney at your local grocery store. Every so often our stores sell plants, but most are the same, old types. :( Did you ever go back to get the others? If so, have pics to share? Hi Roberto. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your post. Hirt's isn't the only nursery that calls S. Whitney, Whitney. :) If you Google, Sansevieria Whitney, click on photos displayed. There are hundreds of nurseries and non-nurseries identifying this Sans as Whitney. There is Sans 'Gold Flame,' with green and gold foliage but I couldn't find Silver Flame. You asked, what about Whitney's Silver Flame? lol. Roberto, we, 'average people,' don't choose plant names, unless, of course, they're common names. Like you, I haven't the faintest idea which name is correct. Whichever, it's a beautiful Sans. Toni
