I've had really good luck with them. They love containers. If I fertilze them, the leaves can get really overcrowded, and they'll stop blooming. So I just pinch off a leaf here and there to keep them thinned out and deadhead the blossoms before they go to seed. If you keep them from going to...

Thanks! And yes, the pots hold up great! I've had mine about 5 years now and they're worry free for me. Now, we don't have extreme cold here, so I'm not sure just how cold they can stand. But I have had clay pots crack during a cold snap while these held up just fine. Karla

We have so many soil/pest problems right now that containers are my favorite option...These are the Gerberas I overwintered from last Summer. They're quite happy to be out of the greenhouse. I love a happy pot of Gerberas! I also like the lightweight faux ceramic containers. They won't freeze...

This warms my heart! Growing up in Alabama, Passion Flower vines grow wonderfully in the red clay common in this area. I had no idea it was even sold in stores, we always considered it a weed and pulled it from the yard! Here in AL, it's very invasive and grows and climbs like crazy. But the...

I so enjoy reading y'alls posts.. While I didn't read all 16 pages, I did get a good laugh out of starting off reading about shade plants and winding up discussing sheets, lol! :lol: Anyway, I wanted to suggest Plectranthus Mona Lavendar if no one has already. A friend gave me a little today...

Thanks Annette! I'm eager to try this! :thumbsup

I potted the Gerbera Daisies my daughter and I propagated last Winter, hoping getting them out into the sun will encourage them to grow a little faster. They're a bit slow growing and puny so far. I also potted the Wave petunias from last Summer I overwintered under a pile of leaves (lucky...

My sweet neighbor walked over today and surprised me with a gift, a small pot of Plectranthus Mona Lavendar! It's so pretty! :love It's not readily available in our area and she had it special ordered from a local nursery. I would love to propagate this as I know it looks amazing planted...

Yes, unfortunately they are! It's such a shame because the blooms and dried pods are gorgeous! Not worth risking a trip to prison though! Lol

Well, imagine my embarrassment! I thought you guys were talking about this kind of hen and chicks. Hahaha !!! :lol::gig

I always feel terribble ripping my summer annuals out to replace with winter growers...last fall my wave petunias were so pretty, it just bothered me to think of throwing them out...so I pulled them from my pots and covered them with a thick layer of leaves...I had totally forgotten until I...

I thought hen and chicks are illegal to grow? I hope I'm wrong, because they're fantastically beautiful and I'd love to grow some myself! :)

How do I get rid of it? Will it kill them?

I didn't see any aphids. Do they leave behind this white powdery stuff?

I've been waiting all Winter and these finally just started showing out. :(

Is this a type of fungus? It's all over my wave pansies, but not on my snapdragons in the same pot.

sprouts...:barnie

This is what the digs look like...

Help! Some kind of varmit is digging in my poppy beds! They are just starting to sprout. What can I do? Does this look like an armidillo digging to you guys? I don't even have anything planted in here an armidillo would eat. A chipmunk maybe? I'm so frustrated! :mad::hit:hit:hit
