Well getting arial leaves is a good sign a lotus is mature enough to bloom, but still could take another season to actually bloom sometimes. I start some yellow ones from seed this year knowing they're not going to bloom until next summer. It's really about just being patient. And you also have to remember that some lotus varieties are just not as heavy bloomers as other varieties as well. One thing you can do is feed them more, but a plant isn't going to bloom until it's ready. Thanks for watching!

@@toddstropicals your welcome

Absolutely, they'll take over the entire pond!

In the USA Ten Mile Creek Nursery is the best place. They're online, just Google them.

Oh yeah, that's how I get all the crazy stuff I grow lol.

I don't sell seeds, miniatree is on Facebook I understand.

I just harvested seeds from my lotus, so we'll see what they do too! Sometimes they bloom the next year and sometimes they don't. I typically eat the ones that aren't good bloomers.

@@toddstropicals I had no idea we can eat these. I need more info on this. What and how do I eat these lotus 🪷 plants? I actually ordered mine 🪷 through TEMU which most stuff comes from China, but also Taiwan , or Philippines. Thank you for replying 👍

There's plenty of ways to eat them braised, fried, steamed, pickled... Just Google lotus root recipes.

Yeah it can be used anytime of year really.

Bursera microphylla is from southern Arizona, so it really depends how far north you live there. If you get snow and long periods of freezing temps you'd have to grow them in pots and bring them in for winter months. Typically all members of the burseracea family are tropical or subtropical US zones 9b - 11 is their growing range. Thanks for watching!

Most citrus trees are armed with thorns, and kaffir limes are especially thorny so yeah, probably not a true kaffir or could be some mutant hybrid.

Sure, although they didn't do all to well for me here in Florida and died from all the rain when we got hit with hurricanes. They need a way arid environment than I can provide. My email is posted in my main page description.

If they didn't look like the ones I showed they're probably not Boswellia seed. I'll see if I can locate some pics to post.

I have talked to people who have ordered from them in both the US and Canada, they've said they were happy with the plants and they arrived fine.. I haven't ordered from them yet... I am considering it, maybe next year perhaps.

That's weird, maybe try to bump up the feed. The only ones that don't bloom for me are the edible cultivars.

I just used a commercial citrus/palm/cactus mix available at any big box stores amended with extra coarse sand and more perlite.

@@toddstropicals Thank you very much!

@pallaj7693 Anytime, happy to help!

No, they're hanging on my front porch, the ones I still have. I'll probably be getting rid of more soon.

Thanks, even though it's a bit early for a beer here in Floryduh.

Thanks Marc, I watched your tribute to Margaret. It was very touching.

@@toddstropicals Thanks, wasn't easy to create, browsing trough her footage. We were in good contact over the years and the news came quite as a shock.

@TOEKIEWORLDMarc I pretty much knew she wasn't doing well when I seen she wasn't posting videos like she used to. She and I used to chat quite a bit on Instagram until I stopped doing so much social media, I feel bad for Keith.

@@toddstropicals We were in good contact via email and I knew she wasn't reacting well to her treatment but it still shocked me when Keith posted the news of Margaret's passing.

@TOEKIEWORLDMarc Yeah, it shocked me as well, I could tell she was having a hard time with treatments also.

Thanks, it will, it's just in travel shock.

Thanks but I just do my research, lots of Hummers here!

Raining here almost every other day or so.

Never heard of those 2 trees, how interesting, can’t wait to see how they do! When I was in Hawaii there was a wonderful tree with bright orange flowers, an African something or other, really gorgeous, wish I could remember the name to tell you, the hummers would love it…also that huge blooming Euphorbia peeking into the frame is awesome 🌿

Thanks, I've had that euphorbia since 2005.

Thanks Robert, hope you figured out that new phone!😁👍

@@toddstropicals Still working on it. 😄
