Do you ever use viburnum as cut flowers? When to pick them?
Comments (2)I cut lilacs about when they show color and are within two days of opening. I want to enjoy the fragrance as soon as the first blossom opens. I don't have experience with viburnum. Though, I have now planted three of them, so may cut them in the future. I'll be interested what others say. Martha...See MoreHow do you get useful cuts from bachelor buttons?
Comments (4)ThinMan You're referring to Cornflowers, right? What I do is pinch every second plant, so they'll bush out. On the ones I don't pinch I cut the main flower stem, strip side stems, the plants will branch. But the first flower should be taller than the lower laterals. If you try cutting those secondary laterals off the main stem, you'll end some with skimpy flowers on real skinny stems. Hopefully by the time you've cut all the main stems on the plants you didn't pinch, the other plants are producing multiple good useable stems. When you're done with them, the original plants you cut the main stem from should have branched and provide more stems. Also not being able to see the current growth/condition of your plants, doesn't help one to answer. Experiment and see what happens.

Comments (22)They still say wooden are more sanitary, but how do you really get them clean and odour-free, if you're using them for cutting? I always wonder how the tv chefs get them clean when they cut onions and garlic and everything else on them. A couple in particular you know they use the same board, because of the shape and style of them, so they're obviously not using a new one each time. (Unlike the nice clean grates in their beautifully clean oven)! They say plastic dulls our knives quicker too. I couldn't stand the noise of chopping on glass boards, not to mention ruining knives....See MoreWhat mix/media do you use to start sansevieria (snake plant) cuttings?
Comments (23)I am far from an expert on this topic, but I did succeed on my first try. I found a flattened piece of sans on the driveway at a nursery. I stuck it into Walmart potting soil, staked it up, and watered it when the soil felt warm about one knuckle down. After about a year the leaf became turgid mostly with one bend in the middle. I kept it staked and, months later, a pup sprouted followed by many other sprouts. I left it in the same 6-inch pot longer than I needed to as the sprouts matured. Soon enough I removed the stake I used to prop the limp original leaf and simply leaned it against one of the newer leaves. About a year ago I repotted into a 10-inch pot and placed it in the living room. Today the original leaf stands completely on its own. Since it is in the larger pot and more shady location, the new leaves grow to about 24 inches tall. At this point it is surviving mostly on neglect. We water it when we think about it....See MoreCalamity_J
