There are several possibilities, including Stromanthe. You can upload a photo (See "share your photos" on the home page of the Home Depot Garden Club and we can take a look.
how long does it take for a orange tree too grow..
The rate of growth of an orange tree depends on cultivar and root stock. Dwarf trees tend to reach maturity more quickly than standards. A standard orange tree reaches its maximum size between 10 and 15 years, though it starts fruiting much sooner.
what type of plants to grow in shaded back yard,and what type of plant that will come back yearly?
Perennial (come back year after year) plants for shade include Hellebores, Hostas, Ferns, Heuchera, Tiarella, and Astilbes. Some annuals to consider are Impatiens, Begonia and Torenia.
My violas are growing long and stringy with slightly light yellow spots on the leaves. It's also not blooming. Violas are planted outside in a planter with under a large tree so they don't get direct sunlight. Please advise. Thank you!
Violas need sun to do their best. This is especially important in the winter when daylight hours are short and the sun is not very strong. Move the planter closer to the edge of the tree canopy, exposing the Violas to more sun gradually so it won't sunburn, then move it into the sunshine.
have wILDFLOWER plot,lots ofweeds,some clover,need help! What to do,to save flowers? Know could srart over,BUT ?Oh.,PERENIALS in plot ! STEVE
Since wildflowers and most weeds (except grasses) are killed by the same herbicides, hand-weeding will be in order. If all of your wildflowers are perennials and none are re-seeding annuals, you can use a pre-emergent herbicide in early spring to help prevent weed seeds from sprouting. Read the label carefully, as not all pre-emergents can be used with all flowers. Be sure not to let your weeds set seeds in the future, since not all weed seeds can be controlled even by pre-emergent herbicides.
My indoor Gardenia has white sandy things on the leaves, with some webbing. I am assuming spider mites? what can I do to get rid of them and if I put this plant in the vicinity of other plants will they get infected too?
You should be able to gain control of the spider mites by frequent (1-2x per week) sprays of water, especially underneath the leaves where the spider mites hide. Cover the pot and soil with plastic or foil to avoid washing soil out of the pot. Spider mites multiply rapidly in hot, dry conditions. Another option is to spray with an Ultrafine horticultural oil according to label directions. Again, you'll have to do it more than once. It will help to increase humidity around your plant. And yes, if you put it near your other plants, they are likely to get mites also. Mites can also be carried on watering cans, clothes and your hands.
I have an area on the north side of my house where I have a trellis that is begging for a pink flowering vine to grow on it. Any suggestions of a flowering vine that will do well in shade? It probably only gets 4 hrs of sun and that is harsh west sun. I would appreciate any options, (doesn't really have to be pink). Thanks!
If you can give it ample water, Everlasting Pea (Lathyrus latifolius) should do well in that area. It is easy to grow from seed. Clematis is another possibility, if you shade the roots with mulch and the area isn't very windy.
i have cats around myhouse what do ido to get rid of the smellof the cats and the eurinit smells
If the cats are not yours, use a commercial product like Liquid Fence Ready To Use Dog and Cat Repellent to chase them away. The smell will then fade. If they are your own cats, find where they are doing their business. Baking soda can help reduce odor, but use with caution around plants because it can damage them if used to excess. It may be that the stench is coming from a few spots where they have sprayed, like on the corner of the house. Again, using a repellent can deter them.
how do i get rid of torpedgrass .it is a big problem .it is killing all of my other grass . where does this grass come from i have a stream onthe edge of my yard .
Torpedograss is an aquatic grass and may have come in on the water. It is very sensitive to glyphosate, which is found in RoundUp. However,glyphosate will kill the good grass. You don't say what type of turfgrass you have, but quinclorac, contained in Ortho Weed B Gon Max plus Crabgrass Control can be used in some lawns. The Home Depot Garden Center associate can assist you in identifying your turf and selecting a product to use.
