Yes it will grow back (as long as they don't run the lawnmower over it) I know how you felt - a similar accident happened to one of mine about 6 months ago and it started sending out new shoots in a few weeks. Which reminds me that I should make a video about it. Thanks for your question, sorry my response was late in coming. Let us know how your plant responds.

Hahaha! Hopefully, they'll continue to bear lots of fruits. When my plants bear, I peel, slice, and freeze the mature fruits and enjoy them with ice cream for months after the harvest😀😍

Hi @valdabrown, nice hearing from you. Yes, many persons refer to this plant as 'Easter Lilly' but this is not correct! They are Hippeastrum amaryllis, shortened to 'Amaryllis'. Hopefully, you're planning to expand your collection? We'll be offering lots of new varieties soon.😊

Nice hearing from you again @nanomc. Yes, it's a little late to start dark room treatment for Christmas blooms. I'll be delivering blooming plants to Evergrow plant nursery in Kingston starting end November. And, as usual, I'll post a video of the first delivery🎉😊❤

We garden in Jamaica - in the central highlands, at about 2000 ft elevation, which means we're cool, relative to Antigua. This, plus locating the plant near to a drain pipe, may explain why my plant fruits often. But I'll admit that it's rare to see a monster deliciosa in fruit - most persons are surprised (and skeptical) that it bears edible fruits!:)

Hurricanes are very scary things, occurring so frequently throughout the region now! My garden has yet to fully recover from Beryll in July, and Rafael is now visiting us! Hopefully, your area will remain hurricane-free for a long time.🤞🤞

@thelmamccatty9181 I know and Rafael is heading for the Gulf too. Hopefully we'll all be fine

Oops, so sorry for my late response, I hope I'm not too late. Angel trumpet can survive outdoors during a mild winter but will be damaged or killed at temperatures below 40 F. If you haven't had your first frost, I suggest you take a few cuttings and set them to root in a bright location indoors so you'll have a lovely plant to take outdoors during spring. You could also protect the existing plant against frost as you would other delicate plants (e.g., trash blanket, and burlap covering). Please let us know how it survives.

You are very welcome!

Hello @Maitree15, you’re quite right, in your area, bougainvillea would be killed by cold temperatures if left outdoor during the winter. But don’t trash them! Move them indoors if you have the space in a bright location where temperature stays above 40 degree F. Essentially, you’ll be inducing dormancy, first by removing all flowers; then reducing the size of the plant by pruning back to about half its size (follow tips in video); watering lightly every 2 weeks or so, and with-holding fertilizer. Sure, they’ll drop all their leaves, but they’ll resume growth quickly in spring.

Thanks a lot for your positive feedback, we really appreciate it. Unfortunately, with the exception of amaryllis, we do not sell plants - not enough space for commercial activities. Just enough to share our knowledge via demos. All the best

Lovely suggestion! We’ll add it to our list and will do a video on it early in the new year, hopefully from Barbados! Blessings!

It’s a variety of croton that shows this deep colour in shade. It shows more reddish pigments when in full sun.

Keep the container of water and seeds in a safe area away from direct sunlight. We keep ours open in a corner of our kitchen counter. BTW, love your enthusiasm😊

Good choice of words! Its possible, but not feasible to grow pineapples in US Zone 8. They do not survive freezing temperatures for long, so you would move them to a sunny spot indoors. Not a comfortable proposition😊

So happy you are motivated! It's the best!

@ They are doing great inside the pots, can’t wait for the fruits.💃🏽Thanks again for sharing🥰

Glad you like the video, @Jeremiah. And thank you! I'm very happy you requested it❤🌝

It is normal for a few mature Medinilla leaves to turn yellow and fall off while the plant is blooming. This is because of the plant’s need for more nutrients at this time. But if more than 3 leaves have turned yellow, examine the plant to determine if the soil has been too wet for extended periods, or if it has been too dry, and take the necessary corrective actions. Other possible causes could be sucking pests such as mites, thrips and scales; or exposure to cool air. Follow the tips given in the video and your Medinilla should be fine

So nice of you

My friend! Nice to hear from you again🌝 Thanks for your continued support. Please let us know how your darkroom treatment turns out❤

@@thelmamccatty9181 I certainly will😄.

Thanks for watching!

I purchased my first hydrangea plant at the Mandeville Flower a few years ago, but check out plant nurseries in Kingston and you should be able to find it. I've seen it growing very well in St. Andrew (e.g., Manor Park, Liguanea, Red Hills, Stony Hills). If you're at a lower elevation, protect it from too much sunlight and from moisture stress.

You're welcome @soniawalker. I'll provide an update on how well the 'portable ' darkroom works, compared to a dark closet or cupboard. I use a cupboard since I'm treating a lot of bulbs. Thanks for your comment and support ❤😊

You're welcome @juleyl.5266. Now you can enjoy having your amaryllis blooming whenever you wish❤😊

Too much moisture, fertilizer, shade, and/or cool damp location? If yes to any of these, make the necessary adjustments😀

Hello @ashbalci6808, Wow! its really nice to hear from a subscriber in Turkey! please forgive the long delay in our response. Yes, the type of bougainvillea matters a lot when pruning. You are unlikely to have much success pruning the ‘tree-type’ ones to grow into a compact bushy shape. We have a ‘tree type’ one in our garden and we only prune the side branches and leave the others to grow up to the top of a trellis. We have no ‘dwarf’ types, those in our videos are ‘regular’ ones that we keep pruning to maintain a shorter, bushy shape. But when you do not prune a ‘regular’ one, it too can grow to fantastic heights! We have images of this, which we intend to share in an upcoming video.

@@gardeningwithcalyx Thank you so much for the detailed explanation Thelma, right now I'm in the process of propagating different colours of 'tree type' by air layering, simple layering and cuttings. I'm curious to see which one(s) are going to succeed. Thanks again, can't wait to see the upcoming video ❤

Hi @valdabrown, sorry for the delay in responding, we’ve been busy with the amaryllis. You’ll need to select a small palm for driveway or curbside plantings. Christmas Palm (Adonidia merrillii) would be suitable, and is quite common. You may also use the Areca palm (Chrysalidocarpus lutescens), but should limit it to max 3 stems. Palms that grow short and wide (e.g., sago palm, thatch palms, Washingtonia palm) may impede your movements so its best to avoid them. Hope this helps.
