My Oldest Cactus Bloomed

It can take several years until cacti bloom. I had mine for four years and only in the 5th year he started to bloom. I wasn't even aware it could do that.

Whether it’s a Millennial chasing the latest rare species or a beginner looking to add greenery and coziness to their homes, they constitute 66% of American households that own at least one houseplant.
The mention of Millenials is not accidental, as 7 in 10 consider themselves to be plant parents. This kind of parenthood requires less work and responsibility than taking care of actual children or pets and still offers a sense of joy and purpose.

These definitely aren’t the only benefits that houseplants provide. They are good for our health too, as not only do they freshen up the air but also get rid of harmful toxins. NASA has found that indoor greenery can remove up to 87% of air pollutants in 24 hours.
In addition, studies have shown that plants can improve concentration and productivity by up to 15%. They reduce stress and boost your mood as well, making them the perfect adornment for your workspace, too. The indoor greenery overall increases happiness and life satisfaction. One study even revealed that purple and green plants were especially effective at reducing negative feelings.

They “give us a little bit of predictability when things are uncertain,” says Gary L. Altman, associate director of the horticultural therapy program at Rutgers. “There’s an evolutionary response when you see green—it’s almost like you created yourself a sanctuary. It reduces feelings of fear and anxiety, and even if you’re angry, it’ll calm you down.”

"The fascination with houseplants stems from people wanting to reconnect with nature," says Emma Sibley, London Terrariums’ owner "Throughout lockdowns, people were glued to their screens while working from home, unable to be in nature." Those who introduced plants into their lives during that period had a way to disconnect from screentime and look after something that needed them.

Bleeding Hearts From My Garden
BrunoVI 1 year ago (edited)
Most hysterical answer on Jeopardy ever. "This flower's name is what people often derisively call liberals." The answer, ICYDK, is "bleeding heart." A bleeding heart in the US means someone who acts out of compassion without necessarily thinking through the reprecussions: If you give billions to buy peace from a terrorist regime, aren't you just rewarding terrorism? The contestant, a talking head from NPR (National Public Radio) no less, gave a wrong answer almost as bad as "naggers" from South Park: Pansy, a very old school term for questioning someone's sexuality because they're supposedly being effeminate. Trebek didn't know what to say; it was as if SNL's Sean Connery actually showed up.

That means the pH of the soil has changed. They're pink when it's basic and purple when it's acidic. Had a pink one for years, moved house and took it with me. It's slowly turning purple now.

You can choose which colour your plant becomes. Add aluminum sulfate to make the sepals bluer, and garden lime to make them pinker. Purple happens around a pH level of 5.5-6.5.

Our first house had a large treed area and we planted $1000 of Nikko Blue Hydrangeas, as they grow well in the shade. We ran irrigation drip lines, automated irrigation. The yard was magnificent when everything bloomed. We sold the house and the new owner ripped every plant out!

If you’re a beginner and want a smoother and more victimless transition into plant parenthood, the experts recommend going with some kind of pothos. They basically thrive on neglect (I can second this). Meaning that they can go a long time without water, grow in bright or dimly lit spaces, and aren’t fazed by low humidity. Some other great options include a snake or spider plant, as well as various succulents and cacti.

My Boyfriend's Bamboo Plant Is Very Root-Bound
Bill Swallow 1 year ago
A guy on our street had bamboo in his yard. Having dealt with the stuff before, we figured it was only a matter of hours before his yard was completely subsumed. Nope. He brought in a commercial backhoe, and took out a swath 8 feet wide and 8 feet deep for the entire length of the bamboo run, plus about 8 feet more on either end for good measure. Cleaned it *all* out, hauled it all away, brought in new fill and soil and sod. Spent the next couple months whacking a few stubborn remnants. Finally, Mike and I had to admit, it looked like he beat it. We bow to his Plant-Fu.

That's not a good way to water - they only say that because they don't expect you to keep them after blooming. Just fill the pot with tepid water and let stand for ten minutes once a week, and make sure you drain it completely. Cut the flower spikes off and it will bloom in three months. And use fertiliser spray for orchids.

The Way This Tree Grew Around The Fence

The tree will have had the fence for support as it grew. The living part of the trunk is just the outer layers of the bark. The inner sections are dead tissue, and there to support the weight of the tree. As the tree continues to grow, it will swallow the wire fence, and become stronger.

Doesn't bother me one way or the other, but this HAD to be done on purpose.

Most likely a vine. In the northeast US, invasive Celastrus orbiculatus vine will do exactly this. Twine through and around things in its youth, and as it matures and becomes more and more woody, makes for fascinating sculptures. When it twines around a tree, it slowly strangles its support.

I Took This Today. Just Curious What’s Happening Here?
arthbach 1 year ago
This happens when there is a street lamp in the area. The section of the tree nearest the lamp gets far, far more light than the section in shadow. With deciduous trees experience a certain amount of darkness, they release chemicals that change them from their summer colours, to their autumnal ones, and then they fall from the tree. Light from a street lamp can keep leaves artificially green for longer. They don't experience the darkness required to change colour and fall. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUKkovEQxTI

I could be very wrong but I would assume the shaded side of the tree is getting ready for winter while the sunny side is still getting enough light and warmth so it's decided to photosynthesise a bit longer.

The Roots Of These Sprouts Grew In The Shape Of A Leaf
Gavin Johnson 1 year ago
Yep, because the tray it’s growing in has the shape of the veins in leaf. Who’d have thought the plant would follow where the water will collect?

I want a drainage tray with a skeleton to grow a plants roots on now!

Lantana
whineygingercat 1 year ago
Did you know that the Lantana Confetti plant is native to Australia, where it is considered a weed?
Dumb teenager 1 year ago
Native to central and South America actually. Spiky as hell, eats away at farmland and smothers native rainforest by preventing sapling growth. Good flowers but it’s an absolute bastard of a plant

My Mother Recently Sent Me A Photo Of This Flower That She Saw In A Friend’s Garden, But Neither Of Them Knows What It Is

Digitalis is the genus name of Foxgloves, therefore, not a thing that can be ingested. They DO produce a chemical called digoxin which is used for certain heart conditions and it's not recommended someone go randomly eating such.

Foxgloves are lovely. And they seed themselves like crazy. Just leave it to seed & you'll have a garden full in no time, all for free.
Vera Diblikova 1 year ago
Digitalis, in light European forests blooms very oft, in white too. Garden forms are in all pastel colors.

I love how everyone is warning not to eat it, LOL! Who the hell goes around eating flowers anyway?
Kira Okah 1 year ago
Kids do, so it's generally a good warning to give. Very unpleasant way to die from what I have read, and kids would be poisoned with a smaller amount.

Definitely foxglove. I think it will back for 2 years and then it is gone--not an expert on it but it is poisonous! (Like so many beautiful flowers!)

Biennial. Blooms every other year, can live a long time.

The hell are you saying? Vera's anti-Chinese sentiment aside, it's a seed pod off a Sweetgum tree.

My Mint Patch Is Just Peacefully Coexisting

No, it isn't. It's resting. One morning you will wake up and everything around you will be mint. Never put mint directly into the ground, always pot it.

Coexisting with what? Looks like it's taken over. Mint does that

We travelled through Kentucky last weekend and saw acres of kudzu that have probably taken over the state by now.
lovemy suffolk 1 year ago (edited)
Years and years ago, on the east coast, our area planted kudzu on purpose to stabilize the soil on some steep slopes. Yeah. That was a mistake. Completely engulfed all the trees in that area and killed them. Road crews never could get ahead of it again. I suspect that entire roadway and all the trees next to it have been swallowed up to never be seen again.

Put in a cutting of mint, and you'll have it a lifetime, and your neighbours, and their neighbours...keep it contained or it will conquer the world.

bull thistle? If so, really sharp thorns(?)! Two-year cycle. This the first year, the second year they elongates and start to bloom and releases lots of seeds. Best to not let it do that, lots of more will arise the years to come otherwise! 🙀🙈

If you want to look up a couple of other cool plants, here they are. Flowering Inch Plants. The plant has these flowing vines with dark purple and green leaves, but the flowers are tiny and bright purple, and almost look like they were placed there, instead of grown. Also, the White Baneberry, otherwise known as the doll's eye plant, is incredibly cool looking, and also highly poisonous.

Aight I'm starting a new religion that worships these plants as quasi-deities and aspects of one giant perfect leaf. The leaf will like you if you're not an a*****e, and also if you go "ooo" and take pictures of cool looking plants you see. Edit: The leaf will not like you if you overcensor stuff like Bored Panda does.
