❤❤❤😊😊
Thank you for all the tips!!! I have a some beautiful plumerias I propagated and were doing great but now all of a sudden some of the branches are getting soft and the flowers won’t bloom 🥲 should I cut the branch down to where it isn’t soggy? Please help! Thank you ☺️
If we plant garlic 4-6 inches apart Can carrots be planted in the middle, that’s being 2-3 inches from either garlic? Thank you for your help.
You could probably get a few in there. just remember to thin them to where you have about 10-12" in between seedlings.
❤love it
Very Very helpful visual for how they will present in the garden for San Antonio. It helps to know that part of the nursery is pretty much full San Antonio SUN. The 2nd list of Natives is partly BLOCKED by end of video graphic boxes. Not sure if UA-cam fault or not.
How fascinating.
Can i move the cocoons to clean the enclosure we lost a larva yesterday so i don't know what killed it but some other ones transformed into cocoon in the night but in the wrong spots but i don't know if the caterpillar that passed was infected with anything now i fear for the rest
You can. use tweezers to gently remove the chrysalis. We've found using a low temp hot glue gun can help you adhere the tip to a branch or you can use a little clip of some sort. Make sure they are hanging vertically. Don't attempt to move them when they are about to eclose of course.
Thank you 🙏🏼
So beautiful.
more laura jarvis and robyn content about milkweed and this monarch migration this fall please!!!!
🙏🏼
Thank you so much for this! I have been intimidated by pruning mine for a while and now I know exactly what to do! Great video!
I hate these things so much, they're right outside my door, they're freaking huge
But they are okayyyyyy!
What do the eggs look like?
Usually singular very tiny pale yellow to white eggs that you will find underneath the leaves.
Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you 🙏
The guys breathing 😂
Organic fertilizer would avoid a lot of these problems of burning plants, killing local wildlife in runoff, and overfertilizing.
Yes! As well as do so much more for the soil! wE love our organic fertilizers.
Me hiding inside my apartment lobby from one watching this lmao thank you so much for the info!
Hahahaha! We get it. They look intimidating, but it's exactly why we want to get the word out.
Question: Did you mention when is the best time to prune the Crape Myrtle? Some people say after the flowers are gone, and others mention in winter. What do you think?
Here in San Antonio, Texas, the best time to do any hard pruning is late winter/early spring. Around the end of February is generally a good time. If you want to do some light pruning by snipping off the spent flowers at the ends of the limbs once the main blooming period is over, that is okay, but not necessary. It's more of an aesthetic preference. Hope this helps.
Very informative video. Thanks!
Glad you found it helpful!
Nature is balancing everything. Thanks for the video .
You bet
Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
I have been cutting it for many pots now, but they are all leaves no flowers and they grow very tall and big on the ground. It’s all green leaves no flowers.😢 I have killed so many plants now! Like succulents on the grounds are gone after me cutting and then spider plants are gone too after a few cuttings… so hope this won’t be disappeared on me 😄
Are you fertilizing them?
@@rainbowgardenstexas5086 they are on the ground, is that why?
What did you put in the bottom of the pot to keep the soil from falling out the hole??
Nothing. I generally don't cover the drainage hole in pots. Especially because succulents can't stand overly wet soil. The soil was dampened before planting, so it wasn't dry and loose.
I find they will root in dirt. I stick them back in the pot i took them off and voila. No problem. No root powder.
Terrific! Always happy to hear success stories.
Cute idea
Thank you! 😊 Let us know if you try it!
Shouldn't my Owari be putting on new growth this time of year? It had a flush of new growth in april but absolutely nothing since. It's in a 20 gallon tub. Thanks.
How's your fertilization schedule going?
@@rainbowgardenstexas5086 I think I wasn't giving it enough fertilizer and water. I've increased those 2 things and I'm seeing tiny new leaf growth. Also made more holes in the bottom of tub so I can water more often.Thanks.
@@johnjohnson1313 Terrific! Look at you! You fixed your own problem. Best of luck in the future, and hope you get a great harvest. Fertilize through September, than hold off through winter so new growth isn't susceptible to freeze damage. If you live here in San Antonio, you may need extra water through any periods of drought this summer. Good on you for making those extra drainage holes, those are key to success!
I suppose it goes w/o saying that cacti/succulents don’t require as much water? Even in the hot summer months? And when mulching plants, would i move the mulch around to fertilize or add systemic granules? I’m always concerned that the mulch is a barrier. Thx!!!
Yes cacti and succulents will require less water. As for fertilizing, if using granular fertilizer it's advised to scratch it into the soil somewhat. Watering thoroughly after fertilizing helps it gets to the roots where it needs to be.
Thank you!
Thank you 🙏
Any time!
What a wonderful flowers Like 36 My friend, have a good day with flowers
What a lovely Flowers Like 9 My friend thank you for good sharing. Have a good relationship 😊
I just saw one of these attacking a cicada and thought Jurassic Park was happening.
Ha! They do cause people to step back at first!
Yep, happened to me today. Was surreal. Thought it was an Asian Murder Hornet. Whew!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
can I use it in drainage? probably after some cleaning solution and if there's anything left pour nematodes into system. would it be an effective?
oh no, any cleaning solution would kill off the beneficial nematodes.
Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
I am highly favored
Thank you 🙏
Any time!

Are you by chance affiliated with the Rainbow Gardens in Ogden Utah?
No we are not. We are a local garden center with 2 locations in San Antonio, Texas only.
I have a plumeria that is 6ft tall, I have to put it in the barn during cold weather, I do water once in a while in the winter, I did not know not to. Also my plumeria gets too much sun so I had to move it in partial shade. Will that hurt it? Thank you. Love Fannicks and Rainbow Gardens.
Hello, Sometimes a plumeria will get to much sun if it's still young and the bark is thin and green. That can cause sun scolding and blister the bark. Applying a thin layer of diluted water base paint will act like a sun screen. Also you could sleeve it with an old pair of panty hose or sun web fabric would work just as well.
السلام عليكم ورحمه الله وبركاته ❤ ما شاء الله تبارك الرحمن ، جميل جميل جميل جدا ، مشاركة جديدة ❤ لديكم ، بالتوفيق لنا ولكم ❤ ان شاء الله خير
This is very good information. I grow plumeria here in Georgia zone 8 that I had shipped from Hawaii. Every winter I bring them into my basement then back out when minimum temps stay above 50f. I have even grown some from seed I got off eBay that are doing amazing. Sometimes we get rain for most of the month so the pots never really dry out, this has killed some of my plants. During really rainy months, I will move the pots out of the rain to let dry out.
Glad you got some great tips to help with your success. Best of luck!
You say natives. Native to where ?
We are based out of Texas.
This gave me a lot of information. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Tienen culantro? No cilantro.
We don't currently have it in stock, but we are looking for it, and we have had it in the past.
Thank you for the tips!
You bet!
I love these wasps…I call them the gentle wasps. I once accidentally put my foot over a female…makes. Don’t have stingers. She buzzed loudly, I moved my foot and she flew away. The only pain I suffered was when one dropped a cicada in my head from some height, lol.
Ha! You got a fly by cicadaing! They are pretty interesting creature for sure.
@@rainbowgardenstexas5086 lol…too true…excited they are coming back.
