please click this button! The best times to plant are spring and fall, when soil is workable and out of danger of
frost. Fall plantings have the advantage that roots can develop and not have to
compete with developing top growth as in the spring. Spring is more desirable for
perennials that dislike wet conditions or for colder areas, allowing full establishment
before first winter. Planting in summer or winter is not advisable for most plants, unless
planting a more established sized plant.
To plant container-grown plants: Prepare planting holes with appropriate depth and
space between. Water the plant thoroughly and let the excess water drain before
carefully removing from the container. Carefully loosen the root ball and place the
plant in the hole, working soil around the roots as you fill. If the plant is extremely root
bound, separate roots with fingers. A few slits made with a pocket knife are okay, but
should be kept to a minimum. Continue filling in soil and water thoroughly, protecting Purchase Hostas
from direct sun until stable. On Sale!
To plant bare-root plants: Plant as soon as possible after purchase. Prepare suitable
planting holes, spread roots and work soil among roots as you fill in. Water well and
protect from direct sun until stable.
To plant seedlings: A number of perennials produce self-sown seedlings that can be
transplanted. You may also start your own seedling bed for transplanting. Prepare
suitable planting holes, spacing appropriately for plant development. Gently lift the
seedling and as much surrounding soil as possible with your garden trowel, and replant
it immediately, firming soil with fingertips and water well. Shade from direct sun and
water regularly until stable.

Problems
Diseases : Rhizactonia Root and Stem Rot
Rhizoctonia is a fungus that is found in most soils and enters the plant through the
roots or the stem at soil level. Prevention and Control: First of all, do not overwater
and if you suspect Rhizoctonia may be your problem, decrease watering. If a plant is
too far gone (all the leaves from the bottom up are wilted), remove it. If your plant is in
a container, discard the soil too. Wash the pot with a 1 part bleach to 9 parts water
solution. Fungicides can be used, according to label directions. Consult a professional
for a legal recommendation of what fungicide to use.
Pest : Thrips
Thrips are small, winged insects that attack many types of plants and thrive in hot, dry
conditions (like heated houses). They can multiply quickly as a female can lay up to
300 eggs in a life span of 45 days without mating. Most of the damage to plants is
caused by the young larvae which feed on tender leaf and flower tissue. This leads to payday cash advance loan very cheap tramadol
distorted growth, injured flower petals and premature flower drop. Thrips also can
transmit many harmful plant viruses.
Prevention and Control: keep weeds down and use screening on windows to keep
them out. Remove or discard infested plants, keep them away from non-infested
plants. Trap with yellow sticky cards or take advantage of natural enemies such as
predatory mites. Sometimes a good steady shower of water will wash them off the
plant. Consult your local garden center professional or county Cooperative extension
office for legal chemical recommendations.
