We have a bunch of old fashioned Amaryllis growing along a fence. Does anyone know if it’s safe to use a grass killer around them? Something like Fusilade II herbicide. Weedeating is out of the question. And mulching doesn’t keep the Bermuda from crowding in.
It’s best bloom yet!
This is the same one I’m battling spider mites. The spider mites are still there. But if I hose it down with water every day it keeps them in check.
This poor plant. Came out of winter storage with spider mites. It’s an ongoing battle. In spite of that it’s growing like crazy and decided to bloom. The smell is divine.
Our bougainvillea is old enough I’m not sure how old it is. 6-8 yrs maybe. Just found this sub!!!. And learning a lot. Sounds like I’m doing a lot wrong. LOL. It gets watered every day. It gets water soluble fertilizer sprinkled in the basket (dry and watered in) weekly sometimes biweekly. And never pruned. It was severely root bound in its hanging basket until last weekend and I moved it to a pot. I hope that doesn’t cause it to drop its blooms. We’re in zone 8b. So it spends winters in an unheated greenhouse and seldom get any water. The leaves with the yellow edges over wintered. It had a few pale pink blooms when we brought it out this spring. So the fertilizer made a huge difference.
