    Hi Thelma, I bought a plant of Hydrangea (broad leaf) it is still in the pot which is better to leave it in the pot or put it in the ground? what tips can you share. Thanks.

    • @gardeningwithcalyx
      @gardeningwithcalyx День тому

      Hello @valdabrown, thanks for this interesting question on hydrangea. If your new plant is not rootbound (i.e., the roots still have extra soil and space to grow) you could let it remain in the pot for a few weeks, this way you can check out how it grows at various locations before committing to planting it in a particular location. In terms of growing tips, we’ve done 4 hydrangea videos so far containing lots of tips. When you have time, you can check them out.

    Hi Miss Thelma, you are an amazing teacher! Thank you! Do we use the same soil mixture for indoor garden?

    • @thelmamccatty9181
      @thelmamccatty9181 26 днів тому

      You're welcome @Dreagarden. The potting mix used in this video is also suitable for orchids and succulents. Most potted plants growing indoors would do better in a potting mix containing organic materials (peatmoss, cococoir, compost) and mineral materials (soil, perlite, vermiculite, coarse sand). We did a video on making various potting mixes about a year ago. Please check it out for more info.

    I am viewing from Trinidad and would be interested in seeing an episode on incorporating native and naturalized plants in the landscaping. There are benefits to incorporating such plants into the home garden. I suspect you have some of these but by you may feel they are not spectacular enough for filming. Portlandia grandifolia, Euphorbia punicea (Flame of Jamaica) and Lignum vitae are all beautiful and native to Jamaica, but perhaps a bit big for small urban gardens. BTW I have never seen a Portlandia in Trinidad.

    • @gardeningwithcalyx
      @gardeningwithcalyx День тому

  • @Muswell
    @Muswell 2 місяці тому

    Another question please - In order to stimulate growth of new side-shoots on a citrus tree, you can "score" just above a node. Can I do that on bougainvilleas too, rather than pruning & cutting out the older stems/branches completely? Will scoring work to make it bushy in the bare parts ? Will scoring also work on olive trees to make them bushier ? Thanks !

    • @thelmamccatty9181
      @thelmamccatty9181 Місяць тому

      Great questions @ Muswell. While I haven't tried what you've suggested, it should work in theory as it's similar to what's done in airlayering. But be sure to cleanly remove all the bark tissue down to the woody layer. Good luck and please let us know how it turns out.

  • @demauppasant6465
    @demauppasant6465 2 місяці тому

    I'm afraid I gave my bougainvillea too much phosphorus...a 10-20-10 soluble. Significant amount of flowers falling off. Guess I'll have to prune back and start over. I'll surround her with other flowers to veil the bare branches she'll have.

    • @gardeningwithcalyx
      @gardeningwithcalyx 2 місяці тому

      Oops! We know how this feels. But it sounds like you know you’ll have to be more careful next time. So, unless you’re trying to promote root growth in a young plant, go easy on the phosphorus; likewise the nitrogen, unless you’re promoting leaf growth. That’s a great consolation idea, surrounding her with flowers while she recuperates😊
