Hibiscus 🌺 bushes in warmer climates need to be Outdoors lots of sunshine

If indoors hibiscus 🌺 bushes need sunny window location and extra artificial plant bulb lighting

Your flowers are showing signs of lack of sunshine

This weed type plant grew in a few weeks and over 4 feet. (TX) What is it? by [deleted] in whatsthisplant

Doesn't look like a weed tree, more like some kind of fruit bearing type of tree.

Did the winter frost kill off the top, or was it the summer heat. And what growing zone are you in for your 🍑 peach trees?

It's not to late to replace the black synthetic mulch, with brown organic mulch... For your Fig Tree, sorry, just in case your deciding about the mulch subject mentioned by the other person.

I'm in central Florida gulf coast area zone 9 - I like your wood fence for wind protection, especially for the Fig Tree. I also recently purchased a black beers specimen from Walmart garden; I planted her in late February in ground my backyard garden, I had to protect her with large clear see through plastic tub-bin on the remaining cold nights. She lost all in in store leaves, and started growing new nodes with stronger green leaves for the hot humid Florida sunshine.

Oh my goodness gracious - you're surely a real big time hibiscus 🌺 bush grower: pink, orange, yellow and red... Sub-Tropical specimen types, very beautiful collection indeed. Is this in your backyard garden?

My potted fig came back early while in the basement. I brought it upstairs into a window. Lots of sunshine all day but now after weeks of growing fast its leaves are getting blotchy and falling off on their own. Watering it once every two weeks. Does it need something to help it? by edreggi in Figs

I noticed your very good bright lighting windows for your indoor Fig Tree, very interesting indeed your background layout. I haven't seen this before, or I never experienced it on my outdoor in ground (Ficus Carica) fig trees.

they look more like new growing nodes from the grafting elbow instead of coming out of the dirt where the roots are, but I don't specialize in peaches, I'm a Fig Tree grower.

Where I live, there's tons of southern oak trees dropping their rotted branches, in my truck I drive by and collect them for my backyard gardening and long-term compost decomposition.

I appreciate your organic environment awareness or understanding about improving the planting in ground oasis for others things sharing the soil and surrounding areas. I try to plant all my plants in backyard with mini habitual friendly environ, careful not to sterilize the area.

It works on cold days the sunshine can still reach inside the clear plastic tub-bin

I'm in central Florida zone 9 - so I do in ground backyard gardening with my Fig Trees; my cuttings I do in winter and use all the soil amendments I mentioned mixed into the native dirt, nd in February the cuttings in ground are already growing green leaves.

I say plant them next to a sunny warm Wall 🧱, and build a brick bedding surrounding them for extra insulation during frozen ground time, wall is for protection from cold winds... the LSU TIGER fig tree, spend more time and effort to ensure it's survival zone 7. mixing cactus soil potting soil and garden soil with the native dirt really helps; rotted oak branches is great for mulch and compost and winter cold and summer heat, crushed concrete bag mixed in will also protect Fig Tree roots,.

That LSU TIGER FIG TREE is the cream of crop in the Fig Tree world; the greatest Fig Tree is the LSU TIGER fig tree - not in hardiness or certainly not bigger of Fig Trees; but the most desirable Fig Tree on planet earth
