My Anthurium Was Almost Dead...Now Its ALIVE!! And Blooming!!
Comments (20)Purple, I have two other anthuriums apart from this one (Home Depot sent me a coupon for buy one plant, get one free so I got two for $10! LOL). The color of leaves on those are a lime green color. I guess it depends on the type of anthurium. I'm not an expert in the varieties but I do know that some of them are hybrid plants. Maybe nothing is wrong with your plant at all. Wndy, I have a big Peace Lily too. I have it at work under artificial light (no windows). It bloomed from when I got it (last April) until August of last year. It hasn't bloomed since then. I don't know what's wrong but my fingers are crossed like yours. Hopefully in the warmer months both mine and yours will start blooming again....See Moreit's alive
Comments (3)Thanks John. I agree, it was a desperate move on my part. I didn't really expect it to work. I was pretty careful with the move indoors as my other Meyer did great. When I took it out of the mix the rootball was pitiful to say the least. Maybe the roots just needed to recover before the new growth started again and I just got lucky with the timing. Hopefully ,this tree will be drama free from now on. Cheers, kev...See MoreIts alive!
Comments (8)Marie, if you want to change the name displayed you can do that in a few clicks. Go to 1) "Your Houzz" in the upper right corner of your screen 2) On the next page "edit your profile" in the upper right 3a) under "Profile Information" and "First name (publicly displayed)" put in whatever you want to show when you post and while you are there you can add your zone under "About me". Mine (which they filled in after I emailed them about the lack of zone information) reads: "My zone is: z4b-5a NH". Elsewhere one of the Houzz staff wrote that the zone will appear when you post in the GW section of the forums, but not if you post on Houzz. Since I never go to the Houzz part of the site, I haven't tested that out. I particularly welcome early bulbs in areas that melt sooner, both the early shoots and the blooms. I have an uninsulated foundation on part of the house, and along the sunny parts of the uninsulated foundation I can see sprouts of reticulated iris and foliage of Colchicum, both of which seem quite frost-proof since it hasn't cleared 25 degrees for several days and is still getting into single digits many nights, not our usual for late March (or even late February.) Colchicum put out spring foliage, but bloom in early autumn. Most of the garden is still under at least a foot of snow. I do know that the shrubs under the dump line of the eaves will need to pruned to ground level, but that was planned for and the spireas and Annabelle hydrangeas are fine with severe pruning. I am not sure what the arborvitaes in the large shrub bed will look like, and elsewhere there are a few deciduous azaleas that look somewhat flattened. Our first snow of the year was heavy and wet which then turned to ice, so most things have been entombed since late November even though I did my best to clear off the worst of the snow before it froze on. I hope that PM2's 'SKy Pencil' and Marie's Japanese Maple recover from this winter!...See MoreIt's alive! (Help!)
Comments (12)I do it just for the cold times. The thing that needs the most protection is the stalk and meristem growth point. Usually when it gets around 20F I start it worry. We are usually only cold for three days. I would look for palms in your area because you have a different kind of cold for longer wetter durations. You might send a query to Plant Delights or a palm nursery. PD grow them a similar situation. I was in DC and it was 12F. We only made it to 21. I get more serious as things get colder.I don't think I cut the fronds off till spring and I threw on a towel over the meristem. My palm is 6' across so it is impossible to cover it. I am reading that you will be on the northern edge of the part of the country with the largest snow anomaly this year....See Moreravencajun Zone 8b TX
