Who else has been bitten by the Gardening Bug early?
Comments (13)Got both woodstove going full tilt this morning and I hope to do at least a couple of winter sowing containers but I'll be putting them in our 5C beasement until the temps warm-up outside. From 18C inside the house to -20C outside is too much of a hit for even a sleepy seed eh? I brought in some Asclepias Curassavicas from my gardens in the fall. Six small plants in total. Just wanted to see if I could overwinter them in the house. Until about 2 weeks ago they were in our cool basement, but then I decided to bring them upstairs and place them on a windowsill after repotting in good new soil. One of them, the most mature, is bursting out with new leaves from the old stem, but the others are all just staying put. They were all smaller plants. Our season isn't hot enough for them to flower from seed the first year, so thought I'd try it. I have no houseplants so it's nice to have something inside the house. :O)...See MoreMy sundew has bugs?? yuck!
Comments (11)You know... I should proof read my posts... "cosernse" :-p Anyways, depending how long you had your plants. But I would advice not to change the soil anytime soon for your cape sundew. A nep, after it recovers from their shock... usualy takes about a month for a trap to mature fully. Depending on the species of course. Moss sometimes does sprout from the soil and sometime it is sphagnum moss. letting it dry out to get rid of the bugs is not good at all for your sundew. The best to get rid of the bugs is simply changing its growing media, wich is one part sphagnum peat moss & one part perlite. Make sure to read the package that it doesn't contain wetting agents or any type of fertilizer. One way I heard of getting rid of the bugs is simply submerging the pot in distilled water to drown them. That will ruined the traps of the sundew but it will recover. That is as much I can advice, maybe someone else has a better idea. Other then that, springtails wont harm your plants but understand why you want to get rid of them....See MoreMy cephalotus has bugs??
Comments (5)There seems to be tiny indents on the leaves but it could be just how the leaves are or is this insect damage? Here's a picture. I have seen about 3 bugs on the plant so far. on the leaf I found the aphid or thrip, there is tiny black dots on it, could they be eggs? The smaller leaf in the center seems shriveled up, what would this be from? Thank you very much. This is the picture of the indents? this is the picture of the shriveled leaf here's another picture of the shriveled leaf...See MoreWhat bug has destroyed my clematis?!
Comments (3)Whatever it is, it is a sucking insect, not one that chews, so eliminates both blister beetles and vine weevils. They almost look like black bean aphids but the magnification makes it difficult to judge scale. And it may be something else has disfigured the clem and that is now attracting insects as a secondary problem....See Moreemisanwald
