Use Your Old Coffee Grounds in the Garden.

Are you a big coffee drinker? If you are, you will have used coffee grounds. Don't throw them away...used them in the garden.

There are many ways to use them. Camellias, hydrangeas, and roses are all nitrogen loving plants so the coffee grounds help.

The grounds are also a great deterrent for slugs and snails around hostas and other plants that the pests love.

    Yes, tea leaves have a chemical organic compound in them that is very good for all plant life. ...»
    An unhealthy plant that is dying can be revived by planting it in potting mix that is rich in dried tea leaves or leftover teabag leaves mixed through the potting media.

Anthurium - Finally a Flowering Indoor Plant That Loves Low Light!

I don't grow many indoor plants. I used to when I lived in Maine, but now that I live in a more temperate climate, I stick to flowers and vegetables outside.

But every once in a while, when I got to the garden center, I find (and bring home) an indoor plant. Such was the case with this pretty Anthurium.

Much to my delight, anthuriums love low light! They have a leaf like red flower and stalk that rises above the plant and I have it in a north Facing window and ...»

  • Nice!
  • The blooms are smaller and pale compared to last year.  Also, I have had it at least 4 years and would think it should be bigger.

Poor blooms on Nellie Moser clematis

My Nellie Moser clematis, the kind with the pink and white stripes, did not bloom well this year. The flowers were smaller, color washed out, and didn't last long at all. It did well last year but still isn't a very big plant for as long as I have had it. I have it growing behind a fairly large azalea, to shade the roots, but I am wondering if the azalea is too big, and blocking too much sun from the plant. Could this be the problem or are there other reasons for a clematis to not do well?

Can Anyone Tell Me What Type of Plant This Is?

I was given this plant a few days ago, but was not told what type it was, aside from it being an indoor plant. When I received the plant, the leaves were almost black with bugs and the starting to turn a yellow color. I washed the leaves last night which seemed to help it a bit, but the leaves are still turning yellow. The plant was bone dry, so I watered it a bit and put it in a sunny location, but not direct sun light. There are also little bulbs that are there, but the gal that gave ...»

Peonies

Should the greenery of the peony be cut after it has bloomed? If so, when would be the best time to cut?

    you want but they probably won't bloom for a year or two. I did this about 10 years ago and took one massive plant and turned it into about 10 plants. All are thriving now and the main plant is probably ready for another division. Good luck!

    Someone from the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center (check out www.wildflower.org ...»
    ) said the one on the left is a native false dayflower. I don't consider it a weed because almost any shade flower that will grow in the drought-stricken hot-as-Hades Texas hill country has my blessing. I just pull out the ones growing inconvenient places. The rest will die back after blooming.
