Cut the spike two or three nodes below the lowest flower, and the orchid may bloom again in as soon as 8 to 12 weeks. “There’s a 50% chance a new stalk will grow from the old one,” Kondrat says.
Because they don't live in soil, the two most common ways to properly hydrate air plants is either to soak them in a pot of water once a week for twenty minutes, or gently mist them 2-3 times a week.
Depending on the species, many temperate plants can be pruned either during dormancy in winter, or, for species where winter frost can harm a recently pruned plant, after flowering is completed. In the temperate areas of the northern hemisphere autumn pruning should be avoided, as the spores of disease and decay fungi are abundant at this time ...
Breeding has aimed at introducing flower heads in varied colours and shapes while retaining the shrubby habit of Argyranthemum. [1] Garden marguerites are used as summer bedding or grown in containers. Most are only half-hardy. They can be trained into shapes such as pyramids or grown as standards.
Plants benefit from pruning of old growth in winter to allow for new growth in spring. Dead-heading, or pruning off old flower heads, promotes the production of more flowers. [7] Fresh seeds germinate in 3 to 20 days and require no special treatment. [14] Plants grow best in acid, well-aerated soils of pH 5.5 to 6.3, with low levels of phosphorus.
Olearia tomentosa, commonly known as the toothed daisy-bush, [2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae and is endemic to south-eastern continental Australia. It is a spreading shrub with egg-shaped leaves, the edges toothed or lobed, and blue or white and yellow, daisy-like inflorescences .
Olearia paniculata produces clusters of daisy flowers in late autumn. [3] Akiraho is a plant that grows well after autumn rains as the soil is preferably soft and moist and warm which allows it to become well established before the winter season. [ 9 ]
Berlandiera lyrata, with the common names chocolate flower, chocolate daisy, or lyreleaf greeneyes, is a North American species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. [3] The common name lyreleaf greeneyes is a reference to the shape of the leaf, which is curved like a lyre and the green disc which is left behind when the ray florets drop ...
