Geraniums responding well to the same treatment

Many of our Wave Petunias are getting leggy and tired looking from all of the heat with lots of watering. Don’t be too quick to throw them out, try a good hair cut instead. You will be amazed at the results in just a few weeks.

Make sure that you cut back on your watering until you get new foliage, as the bald guys don’t use up the water near as fast.  Do keep up with your once a week feeding and just water as needed and you should see a lot of new growth in less then a week.

As you can see the Superbenas and Geraniums are responding great as well.

The Dragon Wings Begonia are another basket that really does better with a light pruning as they are a fast grower. for those I like to just snip about 4 to 6 inches off of the tips. If you are careful you can do it without making it look too rough. It makes them get nice and bushy. Be careful about feeding the Dragon wings Begonia, as they get quite large.

Enjoy your flowers!

Easter Lily Cactus

Here are a few pictures of my first try at rooting some cactus. I’m really surprised that they are blooming so soon after being divided, but they sure are beautiful even though they only last for a few days.

As close as I can tell this is in the  Easter Lily Cactus family. I’m not sure which hybrid it is as it seems there are quite a few. If anyone has a name for this cactus I’d appreciate knowing what the correct name is.

A big thank you to all of you that shared your cactus collection with me plus all the advice on how to grow them. It really has been a lot of fun.

Hopefully I will soon have enough started to be able to sell some.

My Night Blooming Cereus is growing nice and making new leaves, and I’m working on starting some pink orchid cactus as well.

Happy growing.
