Make sure plants enter the dormant season in a healthy and vigorous condition. Proper irrigation during autumn will help prepare landscape plants for the coming winter. Choosing Cold-Tolerant Plants
Many annual plants, or plants grown in frost free areas, can suffer from damage when the air temperature drops below 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4 degrees Celsius). Tropical plants may begin to experience cold damage when the temperature is 42 to 48 °F (5 to 9 °C), symptoms include wilting of the top of the stems and/or leaves, and blackening or ...
You love what houseplants do for your interior , but when it comes to caring for them you’re more of a grim...
Cold hardening is a process in which a plant undergoes physiological changes to avoid, or mitigate cellular injuries caused by sub-zero temperatures. [1] Non-acclimatized individuals can survive −5 °C, while an acclimatized individual in the same species can survive −30 °C.
Rhizoctonia solani root rot on corn roots, magnified 0.63X. Damping off can be prevented or controlled in several different ways. Sowing seeds in a sterilized growing medium can be effective, although fungal spores may still be introduced to the medium, either on the seeds themselves or after sowing (in water or on the wind).
Plant winter pansies outside in early spring or late summer, depending on your climate. Push on the bottom of the pot and gently tug at the base of the pansy to remove it from the pot.
Hoosier National Forest, other agencies and volunteers are mapping where invasive plants are growing in Indiana's Charles C. Deam Wilderness.
Hardiness of plants describes their ability to survive adverse growing conditions. It is usually limited to discussions of climatic adversity. Thus a plant's ability to tolerate cold, heat, drought, flooding, or wind are typically considered measurements of hardiness.
