Has anyone here ever tried growing an azelea in a container?
Comments (4)Hi Mike, I know its not Azalea...but I've grown a "Hydrangea" in a container in Al's gritty mix. It is blooming for the very first time for me this year. My DD gave it to me in a 4" pot. Maybe you can consider this one also? Enjoy!...See MoreHas anyone here ever forced their trees into dormancy?
Comments (14)HI Mike, Like you, I live in the north (NJ). I do not know what you mean by growing in plastic. Could you elaborate, or show my the thread about this? I have had to bring my citrus inside every year. And, where I can put them, does not get ideal light, even though i have lights to help them along. So I have always had some of my citrus lose many, most or even all of their leaves at one time. But they always seemed to come back once they go outside in the spring. I bring them out, fertilize, and they grow a huge flush of leaves within 1-2 weeks! I am always amazed how quickly the leaves from the leafless citrus grow compared to the citrus that kept all their leaves during the winter. I am no pro, and in no way am I saying it is healthy for citrus to lose all of their leaves, I am just saying that for me, with my citrus that do lose all of their leaves in the winter, are always the ones that seem to jump back and grow faster than the ones that kept their leaves. I know, should not make sense. I do in a way wish that the closet method is do-able, because that would solve a lot of issues here during the winter. But, I am trying to get a greenhouse up for the first time by November, and may actually be able to greenhouse them this year!!! I was thinking of making a new post to ask about greenhouses in the North East, and how long anyone keeps their citrus in the greenhouse, all winter, or just part, etc. If I remember correctly, you have a greenhouse. But I do not want to ask questions here and get your thread off topic. So I will start a new thread soon. CHristy...See MoreHas anyone here ever heard of the 'Egg rooting method'?
Comments (26)Bob Walsh covers Mimi's egg-rooting method in his book on "How to grow plumeria-frangipani anytime anywhere", btw. Still miss the "Aloha Plumeria" forum though...and Mimi, too. I hope she's happy in her life, and stress-free. I'm currently rooting a bonus plumeria with an egg, and an Oahu Star cutting w/o one, -since I only had one egg available when potting them up. The bonus cutting is showing tip changes on it, already, but I can't consider this a fair test, as the Oahu Star cutting was considerably thicker than the mystery (gift) cutting was, when I rec'd them. To do a fair comparative test, I think I'd have to use 2 cuttings from the same source and root them the same way, (except for placing an egg under only one of them)....See MoreHas anyone here, ever gotten this line????
Comments (7)The child can choose at 12 but you cannot force the parent to take him in. This happened to an adult friend of mine. Her parents split and when she turned 12 she wanted to live with her dad. THey had to go to court because it needs to be legalized. Well dad said no to the judge that he has no interest in his daughter living with him. So of course she was devastated. So sweeby, the child can choose but so can the parent. As for my sd , yes she wants to go to college, university. My husband believes that with all the poisoning BM has done saying where we live is dangerous and evil that she will still with mom for sure till18 and mostly likely wont move in after that. So he is in denial from my perspective. My SM said that most likely she will find a boyfriend and live with him. And with the value that bm has taught her....that sounds like more plausible outcome. And the home i will purchase will be outside of the city...so...will have to go to live with roommates or dormatory for university. That is anotehr option. There is nothing i can do until the moment comes except make it clear and remind my dh from time to time. I've also stated to him that when they come for an extented period of time, he loses his patience and the visit a few months ago ended badly with her and him fighting. Its not me who wotn get along with her...its my dh and i dont want to be stress because he is stressed. LH - you can't really iron it out. Because nothing has happened yet but the line was thrown from bm. I remember my Sd telling me it...and i said...what if you want to stay until you are ready to leave from moms? and i also told her that by the time i was 15 i had a fulltime job and a place of my own. The thing that disgusts me, is that this line just proves that all she wants is money....all that counts is money. Not her childs emotions, education , well being....all about the money and how much she can gouge out of my Dh. I'm just so disgusted with her and im happy i never deal with her. No communication what so ever hallaluya! Have i told you BM is a substance abuser? and has no job now? the substance she hides very well and so far the only thing we see and hear is she has mood swings...but apart from that, kids are fine. But they really do not say much about their household. Ours is very stable and its day and night between the two homes. Her new husband swears at the kids from time to time..yah we all lose our temper but even my sd friends do not like this guy. And if my husband ever told me to F off...oh nelly! Where is the shovel!?...See MoreOlychick
