Make sure the swollen end is at the bottom and the seed wing is at the top. Allow part of this wing to stick out of the soil. So, I reused an empty 2.5 gallon (9.5 liter) empty mineral bottle as the pot for transplanting.

While some varieties are described as noxious weed in some areas, the fast-growing vining plants can also make lovely additions to the garden if kept in check. All morning glory plants produce attractive funnel-shaped blossoms of various shades like white, red, blue, purple and yellow with heart-shaped leaves. Blooming usually occurs anywhere from May through September, opening in the morning and closing in the afternoon. Most types are annual, though in some warmer regions they will come back yearly or may re-seed themselves in almost any zone they grow in. How to grow Morning Glory Flowers Growing morning glories is easy. They’re great for containers when provided with a trellis or placed in a hanging basket. Morning glories prefer full sun but will tolerate very light shade. The plants are also well known for their tolerance to poor, dry soils. In fact, the plant can easily establish itself in any slightly disturbed area, including garden edges, fence rows and roadsides where the vine is commonly seen growing. Even with the plant’s tolerance of poor soil, it actually prefers well-draining soil that is moist, but not soggy. Morning glory plants are easily started by seeds sown directly in the garden after the threat of frost has passed and the soil has warmed up. Indoors, the seeds should be started about 4-6 weeks before the last frost in your area. Since morning glories have relatively hard seed coats, you should soak the seeds in water overnight or nick them before sowing. Sow the seeds of morning glory about ½ inch deep and give them about 8- to 12-inch spacing. Once plants have reached about six inches or so in height, you may want to provide some type of support for the vine to twine around. Those planted in hanging baskets can simply be left to spill over the container’s edge. Care of Morning Glory Flowers The care of morning glory plants is also easy. In fact, once established they require little attention. Ideally, the soil should be moist, but not wet. Water them during dry periods, once or twice per week. Container plants may require additional watering, especially in warmer regions. To reduce re-seeding and control unwanted spreading, simply remove spent blooms as they fade or all the dead vines after the first killing frost in fall.

These South African natives are popular ornamental perennials which crave sun and attract Butterflies and Hummingbirds while being deer resistant. Red hot poker plants are easy to grow in well-draining soil. Growing Shrimp Plants From Seeds Torch lily seeds will require full sun, well-draining soil and plenty of organic matter. Before sowing, give them a cold treatment for 4 weeks. Place seeds in a baggie in the refrigerator for up to one month. Once the seeds have chilled, they are ready to plant. Sow seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before planting out. Use a good potting mixture in pots which are several inches deep to preserve the taproot. Sow 3 seeds in each container and lightly dust with soil. Keep the containers where temperatures are 70 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit (21-23 C.) and evenly moist. Expect germination in 21 to 28 days. In warm regions, you can also direct sow the seeds in prepared garden beds. When plants are small clumps several inches wide, transplant them to the flower bed after hardening them off. Growing Red Hot Poker Seeds With a little luck and good care, red hot poker seed propagation should be successful and you will have some mini-me torch lilies in pots. It isn’t a good idea to continue to grow the plants in containers since they have a fairly long taproot. Moving them to a garden space with fun sun and porous soil is the best way to grow red hot pokers. Expose indoor grown plants gradually to outside conditions over the course of a week to help them adjust and avoid shock. Set the plants into the soil at the same level at which they were growing in the containers. If you get them in the ground early enough, you should expect a bloom the first year. Remove spent flower spikes as they occur and cut the foliage back in late winter to early spring to allow new leaves room to grow. Provide mulch over the root zone in northern climates to protect the plant from cold. Divide you pokers every few years to promote blooming and dense clumps. These are very easy plants to grow and you can save seeds or even baby clumps to trade with your garden friends.

Place only one seed in a hole, then cover with loose peat that has been slightly moistened. Press the peat to make it slightly firm. • Grab some plastic wrap from the kitchen and completely wrap however many pots you have made, then place them all in the freezer for about six weeks. • Once you remove the pots from your freezer, I would recommend that you place them on a propagation mat at about 60-65 degrees close to a window that allows a lot of sunshine in. • When the soil feels just barely moist at the very top, you can water the plant. Don’t ever let it dry completely out, but don’t keep it soggy (seeds can mildew if they get soggy). • Once more, be patient, as it could take from two to six months for your bleeding heart plant to sprout. Once you do see some growth, thin out the weakest ones and leave only one plant in each pot. • Don’t move the plants outside until after the last frost. • Once your plants have some mature leaves, they are ready to be transplanted into larger pots filled with potting soil, and grown in light shade for their first year. • Continue to water whenever the soil feels barely moist at the top, then transplant them into a larger container, or a shady garden bed in early autumn (too much heat or sunshine will cause your flowers to be short lived (ephemeral), and although they don’t die, they do become dormant, but the roots are still fine. You should be able to count on having some gorgeous bleeding hearts if you follow all of these suggestions, and I wish you the best of luck with these gorgeous, shade-loving plants Store Policies All seeds will come in a resalable plastic zip lock bag and placed in a bubble envelope so the seeds are not damaged by shipping machines.

We only ship in the U.S.************* Please read full listing before purchasing ************* Description Bamboo holds the world record for being the fastest growing plant. This is welcoming news for the impatient gardeners amongst us – or is it? While bamboo provides the instant gratification of being a fast grower, some varieties of bamboo can become very invasive and grow out of control. How to Grow Bamboo From Seed STEP 1 Firstly you need to prepare your growing medium. I always find that a good quality general purpose compost is most successful when germinating bamboo seed. STEP 2 Fill your chosen pot or tray with compost and moisten it with water. Place the pot or tray into your propagator for 24hrs bringing it up to the required germination temperature (20 – 26 deg C). If you don’t have a propagator simply cover the top of your pot with a clear plastic bag held in place with an elastic band. STEP 3 Soak your seeds in tepid water for 24 hours. Make sure it doesn’t get too hot, as high temperatures can kill your seeds. Cooler temperatures however, will not hurt the seeds, but may delay germination by a few days. Space your seeds out on top of your warm compost at 1cm intervals and sprinkle a further fine layer of compost on top (approx 0.5cm is enough). STEP 4 Place your propagator in a location where it will get medium shade. NOTE: Wherever you put it, it should not get too much direct sun, even a mini greenhouse can quickly get up to seed killing temperatures in hot direct sun. Check on the propagator daily making sure that the compost never dries out. Before the seeds sprout, they can survive getting too dry once or so but as soon as they sprout, they can die in a matter of hours if they dry out. You may see a sprout within 10 days from planting, though the bulk of germination will occur after at least 15 or 20 days. STEP 5 Different species have different germination rates, so don’t get disappointed too soon. If any of the sprouted seedlings get tall enough to touch the plastic dome lid while others are still getting started, prop the lid up as necessary to prevent the leaves from touching it; Any leaves resting against the lid will quickly rot and risk killing the seedling. STEP 6 After about 30 days, most of the seeds that are going to sprout with this method will have done so. Transplant all of the healthy sprouts into 4cm pots using the next few steps. (Don’t discard the rest of the seeds yet, as a few more may bolt into action by changing their conditions). Mix a good potting soil with about 50% small bark-chip mulch. This makes a potting mix with very high drainage that is good for bamboo. Move each seedling into a pot and fill around it so that the neck of the seedling is level with the top of the potting soil. Give the pots a good dose of water. Because of the really good drainage, don’t worry too much about over watering. Set these pots in an outdoor location that gets about 50% shade and that never gets full hot direct sun for more than a few minutes at a time. These seedlings are now well on their way. You will likely lose approximately 10% of them for no apparent reason at all, but the rest will have a good chance at making it to maturity. Tips For the first winter in cooler climates, the seedlings will need shelter. Plant the pots in the ground and give an inch or two of mulch. Don’t give them more mulch than that, as it will encourage mice to move in and later to eat the top off of your bamboo. In really cold climates or for less hardy species, they may need to spend their first winter indoors or in a greenhouse. But remember that they need some water even in winter, so don’t just put them in a greenhouse and forget about them! During the following Spring consider ‘potting them on’ if you feel that the roots need some more room. Then simply keep moist, sit back and wait for your first bunch of new culms / canes. Once the seedlings have reached a height of approx 30cm their ready to be transplanted into your garden. Bamboo Planting Info Running bamboo types, are ideal for creating a dense hedge or privacy screen. You will want to plant your plants 3-5 feet (.91-1.5 m.) apart for this purpose. There are many strategies you could employ to contain the size of a bamboo grove, such as root pruning or even a root barrier. If opting for a root barrier, install the barrier at least 36 inches (91 cm.) deep between the bamboo grove and the rest of your property using materials in the trench that are impenetrable, such as rolls of fiberglass or 60 mil polypropylene. The barrier itself should protrude 2 inches (5 cm.) above the ground to discourage any wayward rhizomes. Bamboo can grow under varying light conditions, from full sun to partial shade. New bamboo plantings should be watered regularly until they are established. The addition of mulch around the base of bamboo plants should also be considered to retain moisture. Bamboo prefers soil that is characteristically moist and loamy with a soil pH ranging from highly acidic to slightly alkaline. Fertilizing is not mandatory for growing bamboo, but you can opt to do so in mid-late spring with a fertilizer high in nitrogen.
