• Will holding our spider plant shoot standing up affect it negativity?

    Title, I know these guys looks better elevated but we currently don't have any space to put it so that's why it's on the floor. My girlfriend put this stick in so the stalk doesn't go on the floor. Will the position of the stalk negativity affect the growth of it stays like this until we get a more elevated spot for it?

    Me and my girlfriend are pretty new to keeping houseplants, at least doing it properly. We've mostly been going with common sense and just having easy to care for plants. I've recently tried to take more of an interest and trying to learn how to take care of each of them more property while my girlfriend is still more of the opinion that we don't need to research how to grow everything "optimally".

    She got this spider plant like 4 months ago and it was growing a lot in the early spring. We know nothing about plants so we didn't know what the shoot was until recently. I'm worried it's going to halt the growth because it's not standing up naturally.

  • Flowering turmeric had been on my bucket list forever!

    I’ve loved these since I lived in Florida, but had no luck even getting turmeric root to sprout back up North! I found this guy all alone at Home Depot and it’s doing better now than when I purchased it about a month ago. Any tips on bringing this plant indoors in Fall? I’m assuming since it’s tropical it doesn’t die back

  • Tulips struggling/wilting

    What’s wrong with my tulips? They were doing great in both pots now all of a sudden they look like this. They are in front of a window that should be giving full sun (aside from some overcast days lately). They are watered weekly and the soil is usually damp.

  • I'm questioning my decisions, please help

    Our family inherited a garden bed full of river rock from the previous homeowners. We have zero experience with this kind of stuff. I basically found a catalog from a local garden center and started doing research and picking out things that I liked that had certain attributes like full sun, drought tolerant etc. The soil was actually in good shape and we didn't need to do a lot of remediation. Everything has been planted for only a few weeks now so I feel like it wouldn't be difficult to make some changes. We can move things to other parts of the yard.

    About halfway through filling this area I decided I wanted a more natural / native look so I feel like some of the plants just don't "belong".

    Under the window: Franky boy arborvitae, kaleidoscope abelia, wine weigela, orange rocket barberry (sterile). I really, really like the Frankies.

    In front of the back row there is a sweet spire that is not visible in this photo.

    Then in the L shape along the edge there are two fire chief shrubs. I really like these.

    The bottom of the L has some Veronica, agastache, bee balm, a desnsiformis yew and some black eyed Susan on the lower bed. We get a ton of news on the Veronica.

    I just learned that the yew is poisonous. I was hoping to have a shrub here to give some privacy on the stair landing and provide some year round color. Should I re-home this to another location? What would look good here? I was trying to avoid a generic boxwood. I am in zone 6b.

    P.S. we are not quite done with the stones yet! Definitely a work in progress.

  • Located in 7b (I think) in Kentucky and not sure where to start

    Moving from Texas up to Kentucky and I’m looking to really up my lawn game in the next few years. In the past I’ve inherited pretty established lawns of st. Augustine and didn’t really take a lot of maintenance on my part tbh. Now that im in the new house I see I have quite a bit of work to do and have a few questions.

    1. Should I get a soil sample sent off?

    2. What grass is in the picture. KBG? Not sure but want to make sure I’m looking up the right resources for my lawn.

    3. I’ve got a LOT of clover. Haven’t dealt with that in the past. Best product to kill?

    4. A neighbor told me we live on a lot of clay. I haven’t taken a core to see what it looks like but I may need some suggestions breaking it up.

    5. What schedule should I fertilize and seed

    6. I’m assuming aeration is still pretty key. Always just did it whenever I had some extra time. Should I continue that or do it a specific time of the year?

    Thanks in advance. Will absolutely post updates after a year or so.

  • Tree removal - Next course of action

    I recently had a tree removed and this is what I am now left with. I’m in New England and it’s starting to get hot and humid. Should I remove most of the debris and fill with top soil or can i just compact it back in and overseed with the tree debris/dirt?
