Shade Plants: Understanding Light Exposure
Hi We have a Norfolk in our yard and it’s a double trunk. I didn’t know i had it in me to love a tree But this one is special to me She’s about 12 feet tall And she’s growing faster than she can keep up with and has become top heavy and leaning It’s not leaning too bad but it could eventually And it seemed to happen over a weekend after rain (One day she was proud and tall then a few days later she acquired a top heavy lean to one side) Is there any tips to make it so the tree can grow as straight up as possible (Pruning ,staking….??) Thankyou
This is very helpful. I didn’t know why mine didn’t do well in our hot summers. Now I know. Thank you so much!😊
Happy to help!

Such a great video! Thank you! 💚💚💚
Happy to help!
I'm curious why Rainbow Gardens recommends hardneck garlic in our area ofTexas when everything one reads says that softneck garlic should be planted in Texas? I questioned an employee about that last fall at the Bandara location and the employee became very exasperated with me and stated that hardneck garlic is the best for Texas. Maybe you are right, but everything I have read says in our part of Texas, one should plant softneck garlic. When shopping there last fall, I only found hardneck garlic. I love Rainbow Gardens and your selection of plants and especially your wide selection of seeds, but you seem at odds on what type of garlic to plant in our area with all of the other recommendations I have found. Can someone at Rainbow explain your recommendation? Thanks in advance for your response.
First of all, I'm sorry if an employee seemed exasperated with your questions. That's not our go-to. We love hearing questions from our customers and hope to always help whenever we can. You are correct. Softneck garlic is better for our warmer temps, while hardneck is best for cooler areas. They both can be planted, but the softneck tend to do better. I see the video displays hardneck garlic, and most likely that is all we had in stock when doing the video. But I'm not sure why an employee offered the advice they did. Sorry about that. now you have me interested in doing a video about the differences and perhaps how one might be able to cold-stratify hardneck garlic by putting it in the fridge for a few weeks before planting it! So I thank you for your question that got some wheels turning.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Beautiful
Very helpful to show PartSunShade & Sun options. MORE of these please. POLLINATORs.
We'll keep them coming!
is there such a thing as a Handy Dandy water meter?
Yes! It's your finger!
It’s not the latest science According to the latest studies tropical milkweed has no effect on butterflies’ migration
❤❤❤😊😊
Thank you for all the tips!!! I have a some beautiful plumerias I propagated and were doing great but now all of a sudden some of the branches are getting soft and the flowers won’t bloom 🥲 should I cut the branch down to where it isn’t soggy? Please help! Thank you ☺️
Hi there, it's possible that they are developing stem rot/root rot. I'm wondering how long ago you propagated them. For now, definitely cut back to where stems aren't mushy. How often are you watering; you probably should ease up a little. Wet soil and cooler temperatures can contribute to the problem. If this is stem rot, it is not treatable with any chemicals, but a mature plumeria can usually recover from it by pruning the affected area down to healthy growth. If new cuttings develop it, it is generally fatal. The following article has info some other plumeria issues, but also offers a list of some great ways to prevent stem rot from happening. Best of luck. www.paliplumies.com/plumeria_Diseases.html#:~:text=Spot%20spray%20the%20infected%20plumeria,every%20other%20day%20or%20more.&text=(Fung%2DAway%20spray%20does%20not,%2C%20even%20in%20large%20doses.)&text=8.,kill%20the%20black%20tip%20fungus.
If we plant garlic 4-6 inches apart Can carrots be planted in the middle, that’s being 2-3 inches from either garlic? Thank you for your help.
You could probably get a few in there. just remember to thin them to where you have about 10-12" in between seedlings.
❤love it
Very Very helpful visual for how they will present in the garden for San Antonio. It helps to know that part of the nursery is pretty much full San Antonio SUN. The 2nd list of Natives is partly BLOCKED by end of video graphic boxes. Not sure if TH-cam fault or not.
How fascinating.
Can i move the cocoons to clean the enclosure we lost a larva yesterday so i don't know what killed it but some other ones transformed into cocoon in the night but in the wrong spots but i don't know if the caterpillar that passed was infected with anything now i fear for the rest
You can. use tweezers to gently remove the chrysalis. We've found using a low temp hot glue gun can help you adhere the tip to a branch or you can use a little clip of some sort. Make sure they are hanging vertically. Don't attempt to move them when they are about to eclose of course.
Thank you 🙏🏼
So beautiful.
more laura jarvis and robyn content about milkweed and this monarch migration this fall please!!!!

Thank you so much for this! I have been intimidated by pruning mine for a while and now I know exactly what to do! Great video!
I hate these things so much, they're right outside my door, they're freaking huge
But they are okayyyyyy!
What do the eggs look like?
Usually singular very tiny pale yellow to white eggs that you will find underneath the leaves.
Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you 🙏
The guys breathing 😂
Organic fertilizer would avoid a lot of these problems of burning plants, killing local wildlife in runoff, and overfertilizing.
Yes! As well as do so much more for the soil! wE love our organic fertilizers.
Me hiding inside my apartment lobby from one watching this lmao thank you so much for the info!
Hahahaha! We get it. They look intimidating, but it's exactly why we want to get the word out.
Question: Did you mention when is the best time to prune the Crape Myrtle? Some people say after the flowers are gone, and others mention in winter. What do you think?
Here in San Antonio, Texas, the best time to do any hard pruning is late winter/early spring. Around the end of February is generally a good time. If you want to do some light pruning by snipping off the spent flowers at the ends of the limbs once the main blooming period is over, that is okay, but not necessary. It's more of an aesthetic preference. Hope this helps.
Very informative video. Thanks!
Glad you found it helpful!
Nature is balancing everything. Thanks for the video .
You bet
Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
I have been cutting it for many pots now, but they are all leaves no flowers and they grow very tall and big on the ground. It’s all green leaves no flowers.😢 I have killed so many plants now! Like succulents on the grounds are gone after me cutting and then spider plants are gone too after a few cuttings… so hope this won’t be disappeared on me 😄
Are you fertilizing them?
@@rainbowgardenstexas5086 they are on the ground, is that why?
What did you put in the bottom of the pot to keep the soil from falling out the hole??
Nothing. I generally don't cover the drainage hole in pots. Especially because succulents can't stand overly wet soil. The soil was dampened before planting, so it wasn't dry and loose.
I find they will root in dirt. I stick them back in the pot i took them off and voila. No problem. No root powder.
Terrific! Always happy to hear success stories.
Cute idea
Thank you! 😊 Let us know if you try it!
Shouldn't my Owari be putting on new growth this time of year? It had a flush of new growth in april but absolutely nothing since. It's in a 20 gallon tub. Thanks.
How's your fertilization schedule going?
@@rainbowgardenstexas5086 I think I wasn't giving it enough fertilizer and water. I've increased those 2 things and I'm seeing tiny new leaf growth. Also made more holes in the bottom of tub so I can water more often.Thanks.
@@johnjohnson1313 Terrific! Look at you! You fixed your own problem. Best of luck in the future, and hope you get a great harvest. Fertilize through September, than hold off through winter so new growth isn't susceptible to freeze damage. If you live here in San Antonio, you may need extra water through any periods of drought this summer. Good on you for making those extra drainage holes, those are key to success!
I suppose it goes w/o saying that cacti/succulents don’t require as much water? Even in the hot summer months? And when mulching plants, would i move the mulch around to fertilize or add systemic granules? I’m always concerned that the mulch is a barrier. Thx!!!
Yes cacti and succulents will require less water. As for fertilizing, if using granular fertilizer it's advised to scratch it into the soil somewhat. Watering thoroughly after fertilizing helps it gets to the roots where it needs to be.
Thank you!
Thank you 🙏
Any time!
What a wonderful flowers Like 36 My friend, have a good day with flowers
What a lovely Flowers Like 9 My friend thank you for good sharing. Have a good relationship 😊
I just saw one of these attacking a cicada and thought Jurassic Park was happening.
Ha! They do cause people to step back at first!
Yep, happened to me today. Was surreal. Thought it was an Asian Murder Hornet. Whew!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
can I use it in drainage? probably after some cleaning solution and if there's anything left pour nematodes into system. would it be an effective?
oh no, any cleaning solution would kill off the beneficial nematodes.
Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
I am highly favored
