ok so i have a small army of tubers that i am working on successfully growing out the plantlets off the tubers and just thought i would share my process... I have a mud bottom filled container that i usually use to grow lotus in, in it i lay my tubers sideways and it is shallow and has about 2...
I know some of you got tubers in the mail. Its a bit early so I would not put them outside unless I had a heated tank. Now next week I am going to try and find a small stock tank to put some of mine in. I would plant then in a small pot. put in some dirt and some osmacote, place the insert the...
I am late in planting them, but it is because we drained & cleaned the pond. We removed a very large & heavy Umbrella Palm too. Just it's roots weighted about 75 pounds.:eek1: I have had some questions on how I plant my Impatiens so I thought I would just show some pics. It is very simple to do....
Can someone help? I hate to lose them.
When I repot in the spring, I use pots without holes, (or you can line pots with black garbage bags) and throw in about a half cup of Osmocote Pellets per 18" pot on the bottom of the pot before I add the soil (I use compost...composted cow manure works best for me). Osmocote is a micro-coated...

I also ordered some 4 to be exact from another person and paid $10.00 a piece for them. They were this size and each...
Sandwichman Blurry picks but you will get the idea i didn't know what to look for... as you can see it is a good sized piece of pad folded with a white cocoon like thing or larve.
I have aphids on my lilies. What can I use to treat that doesn't hurt the fish??? :thinking:
I have several water lilies and until last year have never thought to lablel them. I just knew what colors I had. :rolleyes: I took a nail and scratched the name in the plastic pot then took a crayon and marked over the scratches filling them in. I know there has to be a better way. Do...
Over the course of the past couple of weeks I traded some divisions of bog irises with other ponders for new plants. All of these plants came from great people, but I'm OCD about bad bugs getting into the pond. For safety's sake I always assume every Koi or plant I bring home is bugged. I also...
