Orchids

Did you know...that you should never plant an orchid directly into a metal or glazed pot?? Orchids leaves and roots are extremely sensitive to those materials and your orchids will not flourish in them, or even worse die.Always plant the orchid in a plastic or non glazed clay pot, then put that in your decorative pot.See More

Joan, if your vine looks like the leaves on these castor bean plants, then it probably is a Virginia Creeper. The other plant that has a leaf like this is a wild strawberry, but it would have runners like a cultivated strawberry plant does,…

Hi Joan, The castor bean plants are not winter hardy, I started mine in my little greenhouse. I transplanted them after frost into the large terracotta pots that are open at the end, I think they were some sort of drain tile. My son plants his…
