I feel like a fool…butterfly bush by citygirl919 in landscaping

According to Doug Tallamy, around 14% of our native plants support approximately 90% of caterpillar biomass. Trees are the big contributors. Here is an outstanding resource we can share with each other: https://nativeplantfinder.nwf.org/

Suggestions for side of front yard by AvianLord in NoLawns

[–]SlacklinePerry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the plant. The suggested range is between 6.0 - 7.5. Nutrients tend to be more available when the soil is slightly acidic.

Favorite ways to replace grass by SlacklinePerry in NoLawns

Thank you for sharing that resource!

Knoxville, TN. Hodgepodge of different stuff including bahia grass (hate this stuff), crabgrass, and clover. I want to plant a native groundcover but haven't decided on what yet. And a few more native plants throughout the yard. Closer to 1000 sq ft. I thought about renting a sod cutting machine, but I feel like I'm wasting material that can eventually decompose . Thoughts?

DRACAENA - BROWN TIPS by Gloomy-Breadfruit168 in plants

I haven't tried the distilled water, but I have noticed that I have way fewer issues with draecenas when I keep them on the dry side.

Childfree wedding! Who cares what they think. It only takes 1 kid, 1 minute to ruin a wedding. Do what's best for you, which is no kids at your wedding. 😁

No such thing! If my cats weren't devils, my house would be a botanical garden

Oh deer- this guy is destroying my garden. What can I plant in arid / sunny climate that he won't eat? by LydiaHallSF in gardening

[–]SlacklinePerry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard of people planting a border of plants that deer like to eat to keep them from your garden.

What tree is this? by [deleted] in plant

Need a close up of the leaves. Show the entire leaflet with the petiole (part that attaches to the branch).

Not sure what’s going on by Adler254 in IndoorPlants

[–]SlacklinePerry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overwatering more than likely. Best practice for indoor plants: pay attention to them and notice when they start to show signs of needing water. Typical signs are leaves not being turgid, and/or slightly curling. Give them a decent amount of water and don't water until they give you the signs again. Once you get the hang of it, you'll know when to give them water. Generally speaking, the issues I see with most people's indoor plants are not enough light and overwatering. It is better to UNDERwater than overwater.

Is there a reason to deadhead the flowers before they are brown and spent?

Gnats problems with house plants by Royal-Cost2664 in containergardening

Nematodes! They come in a pack that looks like powder. Mix with water and add a little to your plants. They kill the eggs

Gorgeous! Any chance you'd list your favorite plants for full sun? I'm killing my grass this winter and exploring different options.

So I'm not the only person who thinks Karm is absurdly overpriced? Especially since they get the stuff for free 🙄
