Ree Lutz left a comment for Pauline Sweeney/Z9 FL"You will definitely find what works & doesn't work in your gardens here.
I've turned to mainly drought tolerant plants since the past yrs. have not produced much water/rain. Although, this yr. is turning into your typical Florida…"
Ree Lutz left a comment for Pauline Sweeney/Z9 FL"Pauline, I actually planted the two together by accident. It became a very nice look & continue to have the caladium & spider plant in other pots. The spider looks nice yr. round & then the caladiums bloom- I love the colors together.…"
Pauline Sweeney/Z9 FL left a comment for Ree Lutz"Ree, I love your pictures. I put caladiums in my pots with other plants too and think they look lovely. I always had African Violets in Massachusetts but got so busy with tropicals outdoors when we moved here. I need to get some more.

Ree Lutz commented on Garden-Share's group Roses"I just bought the epsom salts- hopefully my roses will look better soon. Wish me luck!"
Ree Lutz left a comment for Cindy Ballard"Yes, Bonnie-I give my violets very little attention in the winter. They flower occasionally but not as much as now (spring/summer).
I will go 2 wks w/o watering if they feel the slightest bit damp. I put my finger in the soil for testing!
I think…"
Cindy Ballard left a comment for Ree Lutz"Ree, Thanks for responding. I'm trying to be cautious about water and foos, especially during our long winter when the light is so low, but I've started giving "Violet" a little liquid violet food about twice a month this…"

Ree Lutz left a comment for Cindy Ballard"Cindy, I have a few violets & started taking them to work--they like to be dry at times (sometimes I forget to water). They need to be fertilized probably 1 x a month & mine are in the window/light where they get morning sun. They love…"
Ree Lutz left a comment for Page Thomas z10/11 SFL"Yes, I love the constant blooming of plants here too Page, we also hung bird feeders in our Oleanders so I get to watch them too!"
Ree Lutz replied to Cleve T. Z 9b South Texas's discussion Oleander in the group Zone 9"We use to cut ours back all the time--we got tired of them growing so fast, soo.... we let them grow & cut the stuff at the bottom. We fertilize every yr. & I get beautiful flowers all the time! FYI they are about 16ft high or more!"

- Ree, I can understand the 'by accident' comment! I forgot I had planted caladiums in some pots last year until they started to sprout through the impatiens I added this year. A very nice look. Now the impatiens are past, I'm planting periwinkle (vinca) for color. As for too much water, I have a tuberous begonia in a pot that is outside but under a roof, that is slowly rotting away from the humidity.
My problem is buying plants and leaving them in pots too long while I decide where to plant them. I really should get the garden ready before I buy and plant them at their peak.
