@@c.k.7361 Hi! Thanks for stopping by. Dichondra does not flower so the dogs will be ok 🙂

@HoustonGardeningNovice Ohhh..that is wonderful news..!! thank you sooo much for your fast reply..!! Succes with your channel..!! Much love from greece :)

@c.k.7361 Thank you for the kind words! 🙂

@@raxze09 It's my first time growing them and the color surprised me too 😂

Thank you so much! ❤️

@@oscardelarosa7198 I initally did a 50:50 ratio but dichondra is a much more aggressive grower than clover once established even though it starts off slower. In areas where I need to reseed I now use more clover maybe 60:40 or 70:30

@@oscardelarosa7198 I have seen that recipe on youtube but I never thought to try it. Thanks for the idea!

@@risasgardentokitchen Thank you so much! ❤️

@@oscardelarosa7198 Dichondra alone doesnt really require mowing since it grows very low to the ground and only gets leggy (3-5 inches) in shady areas. Because I have mixed in clover and grass, I mow every 2-3 weeks in the Spring and Summer and less often in the Fall and Winter

No, you can plant once there's one root, which emerges after ~2 weeks. The second "root" (if it's lighter in color, it may look pink) is not a root, it will become the stem and it emerges later after another 1 or 2 weeks.

@@galejames1 I planted this one back in 2022, it's a Hollywood Juniper variety which grows relatively fast so needs to be pruned 2-3 times a year to maintain the pompoms. The pruning takes maybe 30mins

You are lucky! I think mine were damaged because of the severity of the wind (60mph) and the sudden temp drop (over 50F drop in a few hours). But they made it through and are very resilient now. Did your other plants make it ok?

@HoustonGardeningNovice yes they made it ok. I realized after writing the comment you are in Houston i am in Pearland. There is not a lot of Houston gardeners with TH-cam channels. I will follow you.

Thank you!

Thank you so much for the kind words and subscribing ❤️

Thank you! ❤️

Thank you so much! ❤️

Thank you! I just started doing it this year and I'm really liking it, will definitely continue.

Thank you!

I planted them in March 2022, so this is their 3rd year in the ground. I have a video of their progress from when I planted them. Thanks for watching! th-cam.com/video/dGx7OnYZjBI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2NeyaEl_fD8rlDUd

We have a subtropical climate, but once in a while we get hard winter freezes that some of our plants cant handle 😂

Thank you so much and welcome. I will definitely share all I can, I love gardening!

Thank you!

@@IRONWEED_ Thank you! Yes, hostas grow here but they must be planted in deep shade to survive our heat. They go to sleep around December and are back up around April

@@Ochi_Manuar Thank you!

Hi! I bought it at my local nursery (Houston Garden Center). Their supplier is (remove the space before com) starrosesandplants. com/plants/burgundy-iceberg/

So nice of you

Hi! Yes, I usually make it as 1:1 for all 4 ingredients. This one has slightly more compost and peat moss because I was running out of pine bark mulch and perlite, but equal parts of all 4 works great! Thanks

@@fredjeannieschultz1251 Thank you! ❤️

Oh wow, good to know! I havent seen clover mites yet, I will keep an eye out for them. Does the type of clover seeds you use matter? I used miniclover and because I mow often from Spring to Fall, they hardly get to the flower stage. I definitely wouldnt want to get rid of the clover .

Yes, they do! They always seem to get to about 5ft wide and 6ft high before the major pruning.

Thank you so much! I will start narrating the tour videos which will include the plant names (it's much easier than typing them up 😄. The front walkway garden beds are mostly August Gardenias, Jasmines, Standard Roses, Peach Drift Roses, and White Drift Roses, and Red Drift Roses as the permanent pieces. Dianthus and Rose Moss annuals are also sprinkled in randomly for color. The very front section has Salvia May/Nemarosa and Sprinter Boxwoods with Mecardonia Magic Carpet ground cover

I will make agua fresca...its perfect for this hot weather 🥰

Yes! I once found a slithering friend under shrub that I was just about to prune, now I check each time 😂...and thank you ❤️

Yes, the grass definitely persists but its much healthier with the ongoing supply of nitrogen from the clover. I imagine the white clover will be more prominent than the red variety

It can get very discouraging, but it will get better. I also first seeded a small test area before ultimately reseeding the entire lawn. The results have been great. Check out my recent update video recorded in late June to show how the entire lawn now looks like in the Summer heat. Good luck with your project!

You can definitely do it! I took my time and did it slowly over ~2weeks. Each quickrete 80lb bag was about $4.50 and I used 20 bags for both pathways, so including the other materials it was probably around $150 for this project. I also did another project extending my patio using the same process. Look in my earlier videos. Good luck! ❤️

@@HoustonGardeningNovice Thank you!🥰

Thank you!

@@isabellavision Thank you! Yes, the slower time was the exact reason I did dry pour.

Thank you! Back when I was still researching this, I actually found a lot of dichondra lawn videos out of Australia where they even sell them like sod plugs. I have just shot an early Summer update video and will be uploading it in a couple of days, so you will see how it's been holding up in our early 100F (38C) weather this season. If you try it, I hope it works for you as well.

It's been a journey! 😂

It has worked really well...Summer update coming soon!

Try it! We have already had temperatures in the high 90s for the past few weeks and the lawn is so green and healthy. I will make another update video in July/Aug to show how it has fared when our temperatures are usually above 100 for weeks on end. Thank you for watching ❤

Thank you! 😍 ❤️
