Just wanted to say thank you. I actually purchase a plant from a nursery and was wondering if I could collect the seeds and plant then next year!

I tried for years to propagate with cuttings with limited success. Last year in early spring I was digging around and saw many tiny seedlings, and that got me thinking I could grow them from seeds, though wasn't sure how successfully, but planted here and there anyway. It's been one year since I did that and now I have good strong mature planted all over my garden where they were seeded. And they are full of buds so looking forward to a beautiful show in a few weeks! Thanks for the wonderful tip. Subscribed!

When I walk the pup I gather a few seeds along the way. I have soooo many flowers! Hardly ever buy one, maybe once a year if even that. I also cut a stem from a rose Bush, dip the bottom tip in rooting compound, keep em moist after planting. Moist, not flooded. . I make the hole with a screwdriver then place the stem. I have perhaps 15 rose bushes from stems plus the ones I bought years ago. Yes, they take awhile to become bushy, maybe 3 years here in CA, but I’m not going anywhere. They’re very hardy.

Hi! Hmm, perhaps they fell already.. Keep an eye out, there’s sure to be more. Are your plants the same variety as mine? I’m asking this because your plant could be sterile if it’s another type. Lmk, so I can help you the best I can :)

Also can I ask mine are flowering really nicely but the stems are hanging very low some are touching the ground even... Can I add a little support to the Stems to help them climb? Thank you and stay safe

forgive me for the late response, I am just seeing this. osteospermum don't need support, it's okay for them to touch the ground. They are a ground cover :) keep me updated!

Is it best to sow “green” seeds or dry them first and sow the “brown” dried seed ? I’m experimenting with both options right now. Your video is very helpful and I’ve found a lot of seeds off one plant. Thanks

Hey there, firstly THANK YOU, your video was a great help. I’ve got some seedlings that are roughly 3” tall should I plant them out now (3rd week in May) OR move them to individual pots until they’re taller and more established. Btw...I’m in the UK 🇬🇧 so our climate is not like yours🙄🙄🙄❤️😂

Yes you guys have better planting weather!! So jealous of your English gardens 😍 I would play it safe for now and move them into individual pots. That way you can move them to different spots in the garden if you see them wilting etc. They’re very hardy either way, I would just feel bad giving you advice to plant them out and they die! They’re best to transplant when the weather cools. THANK YOU for watching 😊 keep me updated! So happy I could help 💕

Hi, i brought the browny ones and recently discovered some flowers wilting and other opening is that normal or there is something wrong. Also want to know if there is any home made fertilizer i could use and how much? Thanks in advance

@BirdofParadise

3 жыл бұрын

Hello! Yes, some wilt and some bloom over time. They also close up when the sun goes. You can make you’re own fertilizer, called compost. It’s very simple just takes some time. I can do a video on that if you would like but basically you add organic matter (coffee grounds, leaves, bananas, old fruit and vegetables etc.) to a spot in your garden. Over time it will turn into compost and you can add that to your flowers to give them a boost. Lmk if you have any questions! :)

So been googling that and no on one shows things nicely in detail about growing kikuyu from seed. Wanna see someone show how deep they planted their seeds, apparently kikuyu seeds need to be sown deeper in the soil than other types of grass.

Does it work if the seeds are green? Thanks so much
