>>4845708I fucking love plants so much it's unreal
>>4845717Me too!
>>4845717>>4845719same but my depression make it super hard. watering itself feels like a extra boring and tireing chore and i'm postponing all the maintinance work like a mont now.
>>4845708See a bunch of those weird blue flower in Herzegovina

I want to buy butterwort(carnivore) but how do I make sure I am not getting scammed into buying a regular succulent? What are some ways to identify them? I don't have online nurseries that sell carnivorous plants near me. I went to the biggest nursery where I live and found plants that look exactly like Butterwort, I will ask the guy who runs it about it but I am not sure that I can trust him.

>>4845728Don't kill your plants in the process, think about how much life and care you give them!
>>4845893>Animals AND Nature
>>4845819>bought the passu
>>4845728Try and do permaculture if you can, less effort over time makes it feel more rewarding
>>4845728Try and think less about you you ungrateful negro, who are you to complain about anything? Don't we add to the shit we complain about?Be glad you're alive, just know that everything can be good Know that God is real and your worth much like gold is being proven in the forge of suffering, don't be afraid to ask Him for help
>>4845819buy a nepenthes instead
>>4845819butterworts will be covered in sticky hairs like in your pic rel. There are some succulents like echeverias that look similar, but they won't have the hairs. Tbh, I'd be surprised if some run-of-the-mill garden center carried something as obscure as butterworts. The nurseries near me get carniv. plants in occasionally from wholesale auctions but they're often pretty sad looking and not very well labeled. Usually just venus fly traps and the occasional pitcher plant. Never seen butterworts in stock.
>>4846025You preachy niggas are annoying af
>>4846025Based.
>>4846121>echeveriasYeah that's what I was worried about.

Guys it's pouring rain, should I plant my new tree today or wait? My only concern is that the dirt in my tree hole will be expanded because it's wet, then when it dries out it will sink too low. Or I'm being dumb and that won't happen.
>>4846266It's good to water your plants into the soil when you transplant them so the rain will only help you.
>>4846266that shouldn't matter too much. You can account for a bit of sinking by planting the tree a little higher than ground level. Expose the part where the largest roots flare out at the base of the trunk and plant it 1 or 2 inches above the ground. It's better to be too high than too low. Make a a mulch ring ~2-3 ft around the base after and you're good to go.
just declared chemical war on the weeds in my garden bros.
>>4845728>bored by watering Setup irrigation
My Mexican hens developed mildew, probably because it outgrew its pot with its pups which prevented air circulation and evaporation. I've stopped watering it, removed it from the sun, and going to move to a bigger pot with fresh soil, I have no idea how to get rid of the mildew itself. What do?
>>4845819I recommend looking for sellers on eBay if you have that available where you are, or checking out any local or online orchid shops. They are often sold as orchid companion plants.>>4846117Assuming they want it for killing fungus gnats, that's not a good suggestion. Neps suck ass at catching fungus gnats.t. grow and love both neps and pings
>>4846394Try misting it with milk diluted to 10% with water. I've heard it's good for powdery mildew.
>>4846297>>4846321Got it in!
>>4846588Looks good.
>>4846588Looks great!
>>4846266Maker sure you put some compost or fertilizer of some sort in there with it, it will minimize shock and help with acclimation
>>4846661I did I mixed a bag of this stuff in the soil I used to fill in around the root ball
my ivy <3
>>4846669That's going to be great for it
>>4846773Sauce?
What is the finest carnivorous plant for a total beginner? Something that doesn't need to be cared for and can hunt by itself? Not that I wouldn't care for it; I simply don't want to end up murdering something because of my folly.
>>4846972drosera. if you can get an established one its as easy as putting the pot its in inside a bowl and keeping the bowl topped off with water. careful not to let it get too cold though!
>>4846588nice work!
>>4846972damn I didn't know stylidium were carnivorousthey also have a little hammer thing on the flower that pimp slaps any bug that lands on them with pollenhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHkDDFWIm6E
>>4847040>droseraAny particular one, or will any Drosera do?
>>4846972intermedia or filiformis if you're gonna leave them outside and have cold enough winters for dormancy, capensis for indoor. Stay away from australian tuberous sundews until you've got a good grip since they're quite picky.
>>4847155>>4847077oops
>>4846117I pulled some pretty big hornworms off my tomatoes Do you think I can put them in there?
>>4847167 It'll take a while for them to be digested depending on how big the worms are, but shouldn't be a problem. Mine caught a bunch of big ass yellowjackets and are doing just fine.
>>4846972If you're in a colder/temperate climate, sarracenias are pretty damn easy to look after and can be left outdoors. Keep in mind all carnivorous plant require a little bit of extra attention when compared to your typical houseplant tho. They really don't like to dry out and usually prefer distilled/soft water. Sarracenias are nice because they don't have the light/temp/humidity requirements that some of the fussier tropical carniv plants have.
>>4845717I love the grapefruit plant. Grapefruit is not my favorite fruit but it is my favorite plant.
>>4847155>>4847184The climate here is unusual. It rains heavily for a few months before winter arrives, with temperatures seldom dropping below 10 °C. Summers are tough, with temperatures reaching 50 °C. There's also high humidity.
>>4847181One of them was a little big. I don't like killing these things but maybe I can get my nepenthes to do it for me
>>484727210°c is just on the border for dormancy I think. I'd try an s. purp and a d. capensis and see which one pulls through, if any. If you're expecting a ton of rain drill some holes in your container an inch or two below the soil line to allow for it to drain out in heavy rain and plant lots of sphag in the container to help stabilize the surface of the substrate against stuff coming uprooted in the case of flooding. Adding (silica) sand or pumice gravel to the peat substrate will also give your root systems a lot more stability in heavy flooding. Purps are practically invincible, this one was uprooted by animals last summer while I was on vacation and completely baked in the sun. When I got home it was dry and crispy but I put it in some peat and watered it, it bounced back just fine.
>>4847509Whoops, that's not a purp.To expand on what I was saying before, you could also even drill a hole near the bottom of your container and put a spigot in to flush it out quickly, though I'd put a piece of wire screen over it on the inside so you don't lose too much peat through it.
>>4845819No one runs scams passing off butterworts as succulents lmfao
i've read like 4 overly long articles on hyacinths yet not one single one answered my question: when should one start exposing a bulb to sunlight after its gone dormant? late summer? when it starts sending shoots? does it need sunlight to start sending shoots?
Only one of my rose cuttings took root. I wonder how fast they grow.
>>4847586Bulb growth is triggered mostly by soil temp. You don't have to expose the bulbs to sunlight before you plant them; you can plant them in the Fall before first frost. They will set roots but won't send out leaf shoots until the ground warms up in the Spring.
>>4847699I can't really tell from the pic but maybe you didn't cut close enough to a node for the unsuccessful ones. Also, the one that took looks like younger, softer growth compared to the others which might be why it rooted faster. Cuttings from older, harder parts of roses can take more time to root.
>>4847155nice collection!
>>4847509>>4847518NTA but have you ever experimented with charcoal as a substrate for carnivorous plants? I was going to experiment with it but all my carnivorous plants died when I moved to a new zone (skill issue). I think it might be too salty, but it shouldn't have too many nutrients so maybe it would just need a rinse.
>>4845728This is one of a few reasons why I only keep succulents. I ended up not watering them for a solid 3 months in one stretch and they all pretty much shrugged it off.>>4846394I've had really good success with isopropyl alcohol, especially for plants with farina. buy some of the 70% stuff, dip a cotton swab directly into it, and then scrub it for a few good seconds on every spot of mildew you can see. After that dilute some of the alcohol to 40% or so with some water (down from 70%) and use a spray bottle to completely wet the entire plant. Then you'll wanna do that again every few days or whenever you see a patch of mildew. Usually it'll be gone within a week or two. If you don't want to mess up the farina on the plant then just spray it, the alcohol will evaporate quickly and leave it intact.
>Its been a week and the Japanese beetle in my Sarrencia is still trying to get out.
>>4847917The ones in my vacuum cleaner lasted several days.
I love reading gardening reddit> there's a HOLE in the leaf, what did this and will my plant now DIE????> I've had this rose bush since we moved in 5 years ago and never touched it. How do I prune it?> one of the leaves on my tomato plant turned yellow, omg help I'm going to kill myself if this plant doesn't live
>>4848005I hover up the trim from my weedSmells fuckin amazing every time I hover the bungalow>"FUCK YOU HENRY!"
>>4848007People on the plant subreddits are retarded.
>>4846394Wetted sulfur
Mealybugs on my mintSpider mites on my beans
>>4847724Thanks>>4847789I never even considered it, I assumed that it would hold too much nutrients
>>4848049bro shit on his plant
>>4847155>>4847184>>4847509>>4847518Thanks. It seems there are no carnivorous sellers near me. I can order them online or take a day off to drive to the place to them on my own, not that I mind, but why waste fuel if online's convinient. Has anyone ordered carnivorous plants online before? Was it safe for the plant?
>>4847509>>4847518>>4848257One important thing I forgot to ask, assuming online's safe, can I keep the plant in the same pot that it came in. Or is re-potting required? I am not confident in my repotting skills.
>>4848151Overtime it might, but initially it should absorb nutrients. I think it could be cheaper than using long fiber sphagnum moss even with if you have to replace it every few years.
I have two dogs and they ruin the grass in my garden with their pee what should I do?
>>4848420gotta give em that hawk tuah
>>4848007Gardening really does attract the terminally retardedLike people asking if you need to fill up Nepenthes pitchers, what do they think they do in the wild?
