Hello John thank you so much for watching the video. Eating just one leaf at a time is fine unless you will be brewing tea. Have a great day!

Congratulations! You will absolutely love watching the transition throughout the seasons especially when it blooms. All the best to you!

Hello Tavis, congratulations on securing your very own White Bat plant. It will bring you a lot of joy! Based on experience the white bat plant in zone 9, blooms from late summer into Fall (August to October). The plant will send up several flower stalks that blooms sometimes 2 at a time. Though it's not necessary to cut off the bloom stalks, you may for appearance. By the way, it's said to have seeds, though that has not been my experience. White bat plants thrive best outdoors in high humidity, in part-sun and water when the soil is dry. In zone 12 where you live, if you have access to a shade tree or a patio that would be ideal, as the plant will not do well in an air-conditioned environment long- term. The plant in the video is over 15 years old and has never received any fertilizer. However, you may add fertilizer once in the Spring and see how it does. You may Email photos to: [email protected]. Thanks for watching!

@ thank you. Will do!

Thanks Paul!

Thanks for your support!

Yes, they do like a bit of shade. If it’s doing that well it’s really happy but don’t be afraid to pluck leaves and stems to make tea. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the support, I really enjoy gardening.

It’s more beautiful up close. Thanks for watching!

Hello Marcia, this plant makes a very mild tasting tea. Just like any other herb or plant that I use to make tea, I generally will use only a couple leaves to brew tea no more than 3 days each week. I also take a break for one or two months. I do not drink it continuously which is how I moderate the amount. Thanks for watching and I hope my explanation was helpful.

Thanks for supporting - have a great weekend!

I love going there to help quite my mind. You would really enjoy it. Have a wonderful weekend!

Thanks for watching!

I have since added a Black Mission fig. I have them in the ground and expect them to get large, do 3 is enough for me. Thank you so much for watching and sharing!

Thank you so much for watching and for sharing. I’m looking forward to watching them grow and most of all, enjoying the fruits.

I will grow them again next year. They were really delicious. Thank you Stacey for your support.

Thank you so much for watching, I’m sure I will be fighting the birds when they begin to fruit but I’m up for the challenge .

Thanks for supporting. Have a Blessed day!

Thank you for watching! I was really surprised to see them. Hopefully they will fully mature before it gets cold here.

I’ve seen several of your videos. So nice to finally meet you and thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching! It’s a pleasure watching you in your garden.

Thanks a lot, hope you have a great day!

I’m going well and I hope you are too. Thanks for your support!

Nice - I can’t wait to get it planted. I was thinking of putting it in the ground in a row with a few others. Would you suggest I put it in a container instead?

@gardeningmindfully6531 i have mine in a container. The berries are very delicate though tasty. My plant puts a set of fruit on in the spring and one on in the fall. The hummingbirds and bees love the flowers.

@@tigerlilly03152012 I have been debating whether or not to put it in a container. Thanks for your support!

Thanks for your support!

I wasn’t aware I could do that - Thanks for the feedback!

Fig leaves make a nice tea 🍵 taste kinda grassy but I like tea.

@@GmamaGrowz I read that but have not tried the tea. I will certainly give it a try. Thanks
