Annoying music bla bla bla
I would HATE looking out of my window and seeing that >.< I have no idea how people live in cities with sky scrapers everywhere. Thanks, for the tips, mate. I always kill these but someone got one a big one for my birthday so I feel obliged not to kill it 😆
I have a 5 yr old devils backbone plant that have suvived 3 hurricanes and one tornado!! They're so strong.
Y'all are the cutest bad actors! Glad to find the channel. I'm struggling with my gardenias.
I that really is a compliment!
Too distracting to finish watching lol
Please do a video on Alocasia Amazonica. The market (Home Depot, Lowe’s, plant stores is now suddenly flooded with them. I love your videos. I’m having plant success as a result of your videos. THANK YOU!!!!!!!
What do you think about dwarf clusia for a landscape in Florida? I didn't see it in this video
Hi there! Yes, Dwarf Clusia 'Nana' is a great otpion! I discuss that plant in another video. 😀🪴Here is the link- kzread.info/dash/bejne/paR9mNKicdHQadI.html
@@LETSGROWGARDENDESIGN Thank you! I love watching these videos. Very helpful!
What a beautiful plant! I have the zig zag did not know the difference until now thank you for sharing this😊
Glad it was helpful! 😀🪴
Very useful video, thank you.
Glad it was helpful! 😀🪴
@@LETSGROWGARDENDESIGNI've already got one today. Why didn't I ever think of buying one before. 🙂
Beautiful flowers 🌸
Thank you!😀🪴
I love your videos. Such amazing information along with some humor and kindness you’re amazing thank you for the videos please keep them coming
Thank you so much for the kind words! We are working on more videos now! Cheers!😀🪴
My tineke loves direct california sun, she's about 30" tall and loves her water.
Wow! That's Awesome, she must have adapted well, congrats!😀🪴
Hello , I live in Quebec Canada. Since we have winter, can we bring this plant in the house? Thank you
Yes!, Just place her where she can get bright light and no drafts, water approx every 9 days( but dont let soil get soggy between waterings) and she should be good through the winter indoors.😀🪴
Fun video! Thanks! Two questions: First, percentage of hydrogen peroxide to water? 50/50? 75 water/25 hydrogen peroxide? Second question: I have a baby one from a mother plant that I put in a self watering pot that my son made (3D printed). It has been seriously struggling. Plus, every few weeks (3-4), the pot stinks. I repot (haven't used the worm castings), but a similar mix to yours. It's too wet and breeds bacteria. I want that pot for a friend who's terrible at remembering to water, but now I feel as though I am drowning it! A friend of my son's uses these pots for propagation, so I don't think it's the pot. Ideas?
Hi there. You can use a 50/50 mix, or even a more diluted mix will still work at 70% water and 30% hy peroxide. As to your baby not doing well, the bad smell on soil could be root rot from excessive moisture or if you use fish emulsion products as fertilizer , that too can cause a bad odor. I am not sure of the 3d printed pot design and its water wicking ability ( too much or too little?) . Maybe try changing out the water every month. and consider using a clay pot for your violets . 😀🪴
Thank you. The music is loud, and your speech is low and very calm. I learned a lot. Maybe on your next video, you can turn the music down. Great job! Thank you
I’m looking for an Alocasia from Let’s Grow. Have you made a video for this plant?
Hi! I have made reference to some Alocasias in videos past. Is there one in particular that you are interested? Or are you interested in an overall video on the various different species of Alocasias? 😀🪴
Which nursery is this?
Hi, it's Living Color On Griffen road in Davie. 😀🪴
Hi please tell my one has 2 growths with little green looks like seeds what is happening please help thanks Judy from South Africa
Thank you for showing a wide variety of gardens, with names for each of the plants!! I will be sure to upload pictures when I finish my garden :)
Please do! Cheers! 😀🪴
Wherever you cut one branch, is that going to make two branches come off of it?
Yes! Most times 2 branches, but sometimes less, sometimes more.😀🪴
Thankyou for sharing secret gardens ideas. 💐
You are most welcome! Glad you enjoyed it ! 😀🪴
Better without music
I like to add background music to cover my pauses ( dead air) and some people have said they like the music vibe, so I thought if I I kept music volume low enough, that it wouln't be an issue for others. Anyways, thanks for feedback Georg😀🪴
I like the music mixed in.
I have several of these plants. They are one of my favorites.
Which one offers a good canopy and shade between this tree and the Gold Medallion tree?
Hi... I'm from Indonesia, the place where Dieffenbachia is growing perfectly outdoors even without some busy treatments on them. They need tender light and you can do watering once or twice a week. I think dieffenbachia don't need complicated treatments. More progressive types of dieffenbachia called AGLAONEMA, or simply: Aglo (hybrid types of dieffenbachia) are more complicated to care for. You will love Aglo when you see it. Aglo contains so much colors, shapes and the size is more compact than natural Dieffenbachia . Just check it on youtube 😁
Thank you! Just bought my Hoya splash today😊.
The fine people at Sperling’s Nursery in the Los Angeles area had a beautiful specimen in their garden-like nursery, which inspired me to buy a five gallon tree nearly twenty years ago. But they warned me that she’s a slow grower and to reach full size (theirs was about 25’) would take 25-30 years. They were right, but every year since maybe three years in the ground the spring show has been stunning. I rarely pruned for shape, instead using string, stakes and nearby trees to pull weeping branches into a more upright habit. I keep the roots covered in leaf litter and she gets afternoon shade from the strong west summer sun from a pair of California sycamores and a Liquidamber. She pairs nicely with some Crape Myrtle multi trunk trees. The grove arrangement keeps all the trees sheltered from the annual Santa Ana winds that blow in (40-70mph) through the mountain passes in October/November from Utah. A wonderful tree!
Hi there! I am glad your tabs hold up well to those Santa Ana winds! Over here in Fla windstorms sometimes cause an issue with tipping. Thanks for the comment. Cheers!😀🪴
Is it true that there are soil nematodes that kill gardenias if they are not “grafted”? I’m in zone 10a.
Hi there. Maybe not kill, but can degrade gardenia health. It is better to have grafted to G. Thunbergii root stcok, we have found. Those grafted gardenias do better against pests( nematodes) and tend to flower bigger & more robustly when grafted. Hope this helps😀🪴
I just plant tabuiea aurea but my concern now is can it survived the incoming flood?..my area always flooded during the end of the year
How long does the area flood? one day two? Long duration flooding is a problem, but shorter durations, not so much.😀🪴
@@LETSGROWGARDENDESIGN it takes quite long..more than 1 week..longest is 2 week
Perfect video, thanks so much! I just brought a cutting from my sisters that I’m going to attempt to grow. Her plant is 45 years old 😮 Btw, where do you live? Gorgeous views😍😍
Hi there! Hope your cutting takes off! And I Live in Miami.😀🪴
Great and awesome ❤❤❤
Thanks!😀🪴
Super cool!
Thanks !😀🪴
Thanks for sharing my morning coffee with me. What is a brand name of light, airy, soil mix for Hoya. I prefer to buy a soil already mixed. Thanks for your videos, I really enjoy them.
Hi there, you could try Hoya potting mix, by Soil Sunrise. Hope this helps. Enjoy your coffee !😀🪴
Yes, I have a topic. I would actually like to see how much water for that size Hoya. How many ounces of water do you use and how often for that size pot. No one shows exactly how much water. I think people would like to see how much by using a clear measuring cup. I enjoy your videos. Thank you!!!!!
I always assumed these were those larger palms that grow several feet high and avoided them because I don't have the space or lighting for something that large, but now that I know they only grow about 3ft I will definitely be picking one up next time I see one at the store.
Hi there. Yes, Parlor palms tend to stay at around~3'. Sometimes they can get larger ( when grown outdoors). But not indoors😀🪴
Helpful info. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your videos.
Thank you! Glad you like them!😀🪴
What age do they start to flower
I have seen some small trees start flowering 1 yr out (when planted as a 25 gal tree), But it usually takes several years to flower if you start small (7 gal size)😀🪴
I did exactly what you said. They rooted wonderfully and I planted them and nothing ever happened. All I got was a rooted leaf, what did I do wrong? Great video BTW.
Hi there, Sometimes they do that. For best success, I have found that taking a cutting segment of stem plus the leaf petiole has best outcome. Hope this helps! 😀🪴
Cutie little helper with the soil! Where do u recommend buying from?
Hi there! You can try Flamingo Road Nursery or Casa Planta or Living Color nurseries to see if they have them in stock.😀🪴
Fun fact: nasa uses spider plants because it’s one of the most natural air purifier’s there is.
Peters 202020 or jacks 202020 You named both, but which one are you using?
HI there! I am sorry about that, years back in the day it was called Peter's 20-20-20, but now its called Jacks 20-20-20.😀🪴
Thank you for making these videos. I was looking a list of the plants shown so I could research more about them online. I live in central Florida and was born in South Florida so I think there are a lot of these plants that I have forgotten about and I would like to have them in my current landscape so any more information you have would be appreciated. Thank you again.
You are most welcome. I currently am working on a large overarching plant list, but vid production is swallowing up my time. I will get to it shortly, in the mean time, you are welcome to check out our other vids on plants for Florida gardens, we have created quite a few. Cheers!😀🪴
Nice plant
Thanks!😀🪴
How can I stop the stems from falling off 😫
Hi there, can you give me some more info by describing what and how it's happening?😀🪴
Loved this! Thank you. I live in Gulfport, outside of St. Petersburg, Gulf side of state. In 23 years I have seen my zone climb. Also, we are really sandy soil. I have really been struggling with plants in 10 b full sun (my front yard). My back yard has trees so it gets mainly sun but not totally. We face East /west. You gave me some great ideas, just how to arrange them now. 😳
Hi! Glad it was helpful! 😀🪴
Would be nice if you listed the plants in the description
Thanks for the feedback. Will do. 😀🪴
What causes yellowing leaves
Hi there, it could be nutritional. But can you describe the leaf a bit more? Does the veins look yellow or is it the whole leaf?😀🪴
9:59 can you spell the name of that pretty plant from your niece? ❤
Hi! That plant stalk from my niece is called the -Song of India. And the low growing base plant is called Baby Sun Rose. Hope this helps.😀🪴
@@LETSGROWGARDENDESIGN oh thank you! You know what is so odd? I have that plant and didn’t recognize it! Its a great plant. One of my faves.
Oh man. Someone told me to do 1 part soil mix, 1 part peat moss, and 1 part pearlite and I JUST repotted with that mix. Worth re-repotting?
Hi there, you should be ok, you area little high on the perlite, so make sure your palm doesn't dry out too quick, but she should be ok. In the future ( 1 yr out) mix a bit of worm castings in to enrich the soil profile. 😀🪴
@@LETSGROWGARDENDESIGN oh damn you’re up late too (or on the west coast?) Maybe the mix is a blessing in disguise, cause I always feel like I over water
I wonder if anyone has tried to group it in zone 9a. I know its typically south florida native but we rarely get hard frost in the area of 9a that Im in. At least we haven't in years
Hi there, you could try growing the Gumbo, but I would recommend a protected area ( a wind break like installing on the south side of house) away from NW winter winds. 😀 🪴
We live on a tropical island in Thailand. This tree seems to trive where everything else dies. It's sort of a symbol of Thailand as well as the orchid.
That's wonderful! Your island must be a paradise of flowers! ขอบคุณสำหรับการแบ่งปัน 😀🪴
