    I grew some natal plums three months ago, they grow very slow.

      Coincidentally I was looking at them yesterday and was thinking about that. Yes, I will. Mine have grown slowly too.

    Hi, I have a question, I grow some seeds, now I have the plants, Do I have to put them to direct sun all day?

    • @RichesToRoots
      @RichesToRoots  4 роки тому +2

      Aloha. I don't think you have to. I've grown my seedlings in direct sun and planted them in direct sun. But I think that until you're ready to plant them out, partial shade is okay. If you mean do you have to plant them in their permanent home in direct sun, I think there are a lot of different conditions to consider. I think plants are adaptable and partial shade would be okay permanently for such a hardy plant.

      They're great. Every single one survived. But they're pretty slow growing. I'll put them in a follow up video sometime soon.

    I have a question, how much time do I have to keep the seeds before planting it? My seeds are dry now

    • @RichesToRoots
      @RichesToRoots  4 роки тому +1

      Hello. I saved some seeds and tried growing them after about a year. Their viability was much reduced from fresh seeds. I think the worst you can do it just try them out.

    My mother named me Carissa because she saw it in a plant book. I'm interested in growing the plant but I live in central Florida. Will it be too wet here for that kind of plant?

    • @RichesToRoots
      @RichesToRoots  4 роки тому +1

      That's so nice. I think it should do fine. I'd just plant it in very well drained soil.

      Aloha. It was just a general all purpose potting soil.
