Comments (4)Still seeing freeze die back here even though it has been months since the last cold snap . Combine freeze stress , drought damage and hot , windy dry days - it's a wonder the plant is even alive ! Using a clean sharp pair of pruners , cut back to green wood . Scrape the bark to find where the brown ends and green begins . Sometimes pruning will stimulate a plant to send out new growth . Do not fertilize until the plant has recovered from so much environmental stress and regular rains return ....See MoreMy New Pineapples
Comments (38)No problem. Those plants look very nice. Did you plant them out already? I made the mistake and waited two weeks before I planted out my last set and there was some rot. They all have survived thus far but I think they would have established faster not for the rot. Also, be careful when removing them from the test tubes. The first time I pulled on one and the leave popped off. Now I stick something down the tube to break up the agar before I pull on the plant. I think I might try tissue culturing myself one day. They sell tissue culture kits available online. Anyone in the forum ever try to micropropagate plants?...See MoreWhat's wrong with my ornamental pineapple?
Comments (4)The tag said "not for consumption." But I did look up what the tag said it is which is the "Mini Me" species, and it looked like a miniature version of the edible one. So, perhaps it is edible. Of course, according to the tag, this one is supposed to be red. So, I'm kind of caught in a pickle. lol Of course, I stuck it IN the window instead of next to it and it appears to be doing much better, thank goodness....See MoreA New Good Gadget Thread--and Cheese
Comments (35)Foodonastump, funny you should ask. I never did use the stirrer thing. Upon inspection I decided that it was too whimpy for anything but the lightest of sauces/batters. A whisk works just fine and doesn't require batteries. The spatuala thermometer has never been used because I can't pull-out the platic strip protecting the battery that powers the thermometer. I tried taking out the battery box, and can't get that out either. Right now it is laying on my side cabinet in hopes that someday the grandson who loves such challenges will come to visit and get it to working. yeonassky: I have a tool called a 'seal breaker'. You use it like a can opener to break the seal on too tight lids and it works every time....See MoreRelated Professionals
