Comments (6)I would go with 'Hobbit' for the last one as well, maybe a compact leaf form? I would be interested to see what others would say. Christopher...See MoreAdvice please
Comments (2)They will transfer easily to dill or parsley. If the dill and parsley are close by, the caterpillar will find it. If not, you could transfer it. Make sure it is not molting. The caterpillars lay down a bed of silk, attach themselves, and then shed their skin. It is not advisable to move them off plants, when they are molting. You can cut the plant and move the caterpillar with the plant....See MoreMy modest bunch (picture heavy)
Comments (21)Awesome pics of beautiful plants. Thanks for sharing! I've always known pothos as Scindapsus in the rare occasions a latin name is mentioned for this plant. Seems to be like coleus, there's rarely any confusion with these common names. But you had been told "Epipremnum" so I googled to see if this was one of the plants recently renamed or if there are actually 2 kinds of pothos from different genuses? My research was inconclusive although I didn't go too long, figuring someone more knowledgeable than me will let us know. L_in_FL there are several different passion vines, but I think most are hardy to zone 8. Just wanted to warn you the caterpillars of the gulf fritillary butterflies will likely eat every shred of leaf and even the buds/flowers off of this vine if a mama lays her eggs on it. You mentioned this is on the front of your house, so this may not be the look you're after on a front wall even if you are in full favor of feeding some butterfly caterpillars. If it's new this year, without nectar-source plants nearby, that's probably why you haven't had this happen this year....See MoreGritty Mix Equivalents.
Comments (5)That's the recipe for 5-1-1 not gritty mix. They are definitely different. For 5-1-1 you need 5parts pine bark fines, 1 part peat, and 1 part perlite. Those are all pretty easily available in garden centers or landscape suppliers. It is not all that different from a fairly standard commercial nursery mix which is 2-1-1 of the same ingredients. It just drains faster and holds less water. The gritty mix is an aggregate medium. It is equal parts bark, gravel, and turface (calcined clay). Here the principle is more important than the individual ingredients. You could use just gravel if you wanted, you would just have to water more frequently. So if you wanted to reduce that you would add calcined clay or calcined DE. A replacement for peat is coir. Vermiculite is expensive and most people around here tend to avoid it....See MoreShine Eden
