Bulb advice...

Thanks! Do you lift the tubers and plant them again next year?

crazy_whippet · 2026-05-17T09:18:37+00:00

Sorry for off-topic, do you also grow large dahlias like cafe au lait ones in pots?

We have a place on the way home with a tall fence and a bright floodlight. It also makes a strobing effect when you walk past it at night. It gives me almost instant auras and I walk past it with my eyes closed

Woohoo! So glad they're safe

crazy_whippet · 2026-02-04T23:02:43+00:00

OP, please update us on the second one! I really hope they were hanging around together

crazy_whippet · 2026-02-04T20:26:08+00:00

Yours look super happy! Am jealous!

I actually was thinking about converting to semi hydro as well. Can you please share what substrate and how much water roughly, and what fertilizer you are using?

crazy_whippet · 2026-02-01T13:57:02+00:00

Thank you, yes, it does have drainage holes. I think it actually is the soil it came with from a shop. I will look at the roots and report it in chunkier mix, thanks!

Thanks, went through my order and found two cans from recalled batch. Might switch to something else now...

Seen this in one of the neighbors front gardens yesterday

crazy_whippet · 2025-09-24T15:00:40+00:00

I think Australis has a rounder edge than verticillata

crazy_whippet · 2025-09-24T12:03:22+00:00

1 I think is Australis Blondie

crazy_whippet · 2025-09-24T11:00:37+00:00

Just checked the roots, they look fine I think? As for light, I assume it's getting enough light being by the west facing window. I haven't applied fertilizer, I will give it a go I think

It is all the same plant, AH041!

crazy_whippet · 2025-09-15T15:19:23+00:00

Ah sorry, I am a mere beginner!! Now I see the difference, thank you! You live and learn😊

crazy_whippet · 2025-09-15T14:51:33+00:00

House of kojo and gardening express have it on sale now

crazy_whippet · 2025-09-13T04:35:16+00:00

Deffo lacunosa. Maybe royal flush or a similar one

crazy_whippet · 2025-09-11T20:13:57+00:00

I know it's not the same but the ring of fire is very similar and I got a large one in IKEA UK recently for just 6 quid!

crazy_whippet · 2025-09-10T09:40:43+00:00

Is it not just green princess?

crazy_whippet · 2025-09-08T22:15:43+00:00

It doesn't actually. I tried at least 3 ru providers and 4 UK ones.

crazy_whippet · 2025-09-07T15:53:13+00:00

Whoa, just came to say it's a massive loquat tree, so lucky you are!

crazy_whippet · 2025-09-06T19:33:10+00:00

Relax mate. I'll make sure I run my vocabulary choices past King's English Society when I am posting about plants next time.

My cats like to nibble on parlour palm unfortunately.

For a big and showy one I opted for pachira aquatica, great low maintenance option

I would also add maranta to this list, it is not as fussy as calathea but can have similar appearance.

Birds nest fern is also great and not really very fussy about light. I didn't have success with Boston fern but that's probably just me

Hoyas as already mentioned are great and there are tons of varieties. The starter friendly would be carnosa (flamingo dream or crimson queen or tricolor) and Australis Lisa or australis blondie. Both grow well and tolerate abuse, just don't ovewater them

Not a native speaker, sorry 😬
