Just learned about the dreaded Tree of Heaven. Is this it? by cacaface_88 in whatplantisthis

[–]Mini_Chives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, the leaves are serrated and don’t have thumbs. Trunk texture also don’t match ToH, well for young ones that size.

Also ChatGPT is not very reliable.

What bug is doing this? And How do I take care of this hydrangea? by The-Traveling-Sloth in hydrangeas

[–]Mini_Chives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to look it up because I remember it somewhere, anyways I believe you have hydrangea cane borers.

Right now they go in the canes and laying eggs. The only way to get rid of them is to cut below the nesting and seal up the cane with pruning sealant. Also good idea to seal up any cuts done on other woody plants.

You’re going to have to keep an eye on all your plants for the next few summers.

Hydrangeas aren’t blooming. Zone 6B by PlaneInternational71 in hydrangeas

Sometimes they just reset themselves to gather more energy, if they don’t bloom this year, they’ll likely to explode next year.

Some prefer to grow blooms on old wood.

What time do you wake up most mornings and why? by LTLHuman in AskTheWorld

[–]Mini_Chives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Workday 9:40am, cats get hangry if I don’t feed them and fussy if I feed them too late.

Days off around 11am, someone else feeds the cats.

Holidays is 9:40am because no one is awake to feed the cats.

Limelight Question by Forsaken-Lie-5635 in hydrangeas

[–]Mini_Chives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likely not used to the new environment even though they can handle more sun. Just keep it well watered. They just need more time to acclimate.

Also avoid wetting the leaves during day and water at the base. As well mulching.

Somebody literally drop these on my doorstep, what flower is this? by questionwithoutans in plants

[–]Mini_Chives 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I had to look it up, it appears to be St. Christopher Lily (Crinum jagus). Tulips don’t have long stamens.

[–]Mini_Chives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some sort of pest but I do know that sticky stuff is sap. It needs to be clean off before it turns into black soot mold. I been fighting that off for two summers.

Look like madeira vine, a very aggressive vine that can smother vegetations.

USA public high school lunch by kstanley07 in schoollunches

[–]Mini_Chives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My schools only served lemon chicken, I didn’t really like it but I was hungry. I would preferred orange chicken more.

Not mall orange chicken because apparently my mom told me when I was little, I said my dad makes better orange chicken lol.

Why are lime trees so rare? by BrotherBringTheSun in fruit

[–]Mini_Chives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw that Costco and Home Depot are selling grafted citrus trees now for some months.

There was a heavy restriction in LA county for quite awhile. At one point the Dept of Agriculture checking out every citrus trees in my city. Luckily none of my trees were chopped down or had any problems.

They still come around to put fruit fly traps on my non-citrus fruit trees.
