Shade Plants that are Heat Tolerant | Gardening with Creekside

[@maryferraro6745]

Great tip with the fern!!

[@lindamckeown2830]

A trick I use when planting a brand new pot is to use a wet coffee filter to lay over the drainage hole. It keeps the soil from flowing out of the pot when watering in the new plants. Water is able to drain but not the soil. Over time the filter will rot and by then the soil is stable.

[@israthrimi]

Omg..

[@andreaschnapp6454]

I use a small piece of screen.

[@fromseedtobloommedia9340]

The pot forming trick has made my life so much easier when potting hard to pot plants like ferns and succulents, I use it often. I learned this somewhere on KZbin! 🙌🏾

[@kaylac3367]

Love the pot forming trick! Thank you Jenny and viewers for sharing that. It's perfect timing for shade loving plants. I have a basket I need to plant for the shade and needed some ideas. Oh, and I like the little pot feet too. They don't take away from the beauty of the pot or plants! Thanks Jenny ❤️.

[@israthrimi]

Yes

[@jennysanfilippo2105]

I'm so impressed with this new way to add my plant to the larger pot. This method is similar to my method of welling out the middle of the soil in the pot, then pressing the soil towards the side's, before I put the plant in. But sometimes when I added the plant to the well in the middle, the soil falls away from the side's to the bottom, under the plant I'm planting. Having the soil moist really help's the side's not collapse in towards the middle, when you take the empty old pot out. I love this trick of putting in the pot, filling in the side's with moist soil, & firming the soil to the side's of the new pot, between the two pot's. It form's the well first, in the middle, & firm's the side's, before taking the old pot out, to plant the plant. Pre

Cheers to the folks who shared the secret of using the nursery pot as a form! Gonna try it! Very pretty porch Ms Jenny. Hey Brynna - you be a good girl! 🐾🐾

[@heathergustafson4237]

I like that you pack them in the pot, that’s exactly what I do!

[@helenperalta3555]

Jenny Love the plants in your Aquapot. Ordered the invisible planter feet from your Amazon store. Will get them tomorrow hopefully. Have a wonderful week.

[@nancypatterson374]

What a wonderful idea, no more fighting the plant while adding the soil! Your front porch looks beautiful 😍

[@israthrimi]

Right

[@maureengee364]

Looking Gorgeous. Love all the plants. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@toneil8470]

I love the pot forming trick. Love the fern and the pot of mixed plants. I love the caladiums. That is what I need to get for my window boxes. Thanks for sharing.

[@carolynvenema1019]

I use the pot forming trick with in-ground planting also. First i dig or auger an approximate hole, then set the empty pot in, then dig to loosen around the empty pot.(the soil doesnt fall back into the hole then). Then stick the plant in. So slick!

[@annierampersad3982]

Jenny, you are truly a humble person. We all learn from each other. Lots of love and appreciation from Trinidad.

[@israthrimi]

Agree

[@heathergustafson4237]

You sold me on why you position the pot the way you did. Your really good!

[@victoriabrownfrank4328]

Gald to see you using an older gardening trick. I saw this one on a show of an English gardeners show. Life made easy

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

Isn’t it so Jenny! Gardening is LEARNING! I love that aspect so much, and I wish to thank you personally. You are willing to admit being ‘human’ and capable of learning whilst also admitting any inadequacy. You made my day today, Thank You! 😊

[@ginagreenwood1869]

I've used this way of potting ferns and other big plants in pots for years. It works wonderfully!! Great Video Jenny!

[@ranchhomeliving]

Love the pot forming trick. First time I see it and the containers turned out beautiful as always. Thanks for sharing! 😊

[@mariemcgrath8681]

Lovely choice of plants in the big pot. The pot trick (Boston Fern) great !! Enjoy fron Australia.

[@geaizee-JZ]

Love seeing you work your way through planting the one by your door, nice to see others do that too.

[@celianewman4809]

Jenny, I love it when you say “there you go.” Reminds me of my favorite movie ever “My Big Fat Greek Wedding.” Lol

[@israthrimi]

Agree

[@stephanieblume5448]

The perfect fern for that pot. Or, the perfect pot for that fern. So Pretty! Love the planting tip. Love the planters, all three. Will have to get the little pot risers/pot feet. Got all of my flowers planted today, and weeded as I went. Ugh. Took me 4-5 hours total. But it's done! :)

[@marilynbaldwin2934]

I always learn a lot from your videos especially when you put a hanging plant in a container it turned out beautiful!

[@christophertaylor9826]

Jenny great presentation and always enjoy watching your videos.

[@pamelacallaway3922]

The pot forming trick is fantastic! It really works! The fern looks amazing!

[@cathymarksmanitobagarden860]

That fern planting trick is absolutely brilliant! Thank you for sharing!😊

[@ElderandOakFarm]

Love what you chose for that container! 😲😍

[@stacybowles70]

We need a t-shirt that reads, “Don’t fight the fern” 😂. Great video!

[@shanachrisman6638]

Paint colors! You should also explain to all us non-southerners what Haint Blue is, and why it’s used on exterior porch ceilings. I find that story charming and interesting.

[@lynnelovett8999]

What a awesome trick when planting pots Ms Jenny. Happy gardening. Have a blessed day.

[@myrusticgardens]

I’m so happy to see you use this potting trick because it has TRANSFORMED container gardening for me! I do this for all my containers, specially when planting in many 4 inch plants. Also, I’ll often water in the soil before wiggling the nursery container out, which helps the soil settle and stay put better! Gorgeous plantings, Jenny! 🥰

[@nancypatterson374]

Wonderful idea, thank you! 🌸

[@debbiemacy3840]

Everything is looking beautiful!!

[@vickiejones7085]

That pot tip is wonderful

[@amw3083]

The pot trick works in baking too! Mix your dry ingredients together and then use your appropriate measuring spoon to make a well in the dry to ‘measure’ your sticky ingredients like honey or molasses. Nothing gets wasted, including time, on the measuring spoon 😊

[@philipmedlin5408]

Wow! Will be using this potting trick from now on. It will cut over half the problems of making containers.

[@babieangels]

Great color and texture! Can’t wait to see it’s progress!

[@debbieewert]

Love the pot trick!! So much easier. Thanks. I love the pot risers. I use the decorative ones I buy from Kinsman. I have turtle and bird ones. All your plantings on the porch are beautiful. 😊❤️

[@israthrimi]

Wow

[@tahoeblue2491]

Your plant choices for the pot is gorgeous. And such s cool potting trick.

[@brixandblooms]

I have the rubber pot risers as well. Love them.

[@kbechtel33]

Love the look of your aquapot... and great idea of using the plant pot to shape hole for plant.

[@kbechtel33]

🥰

[@drobi0001]

Thank you Jenny for sharing your passion for flowers and inspiring all of us. Your videos are very helpful and I’m learning so much about gardening and adding more plants to my garden. 🙏❤️

[@laurieanne9712]

Great combo! Enjoyed the planting tip! Will definitely use that idea, too! Thank you!

[@Bb-dq2to]

Great show. I’m in zone 7a in central Virginia so have the same heat & humidity issues. Love your tips. I don’t have Aqua pots on my porch but another brand of self-watering pots. Last summer I discovered they became a breeding ground for mosquitos. So this year, I added mosquito buts to the reservoir.

[@Bb-dq2to]

Mosquito Bits. (Hit send by mistake). I’ll need to repeat it during the summer, but I’m hoping this works, since tiny no-see-ums by the front door is NOT a good thing.

[@barbaraharrold5361]

Your porch looks lovely:) as long as you don’t have Christmas lights still on your home then it’s all good:) lol tfs have a wonderful Memorial weekend:)

[@juliedorey5254]

Such a good idea I will definitely use the pot forming in the future. And don't worry Jenny I have some Christmas decorations in my hallway waiting to go up in the attic 🤭👍

[@bethheerten1132]

I still have Mr. & Mrs. Claus sitting on a counter in my library.😁

[@melonieroe7310]

omgosh..the pot planting trick!!!! absoluetly a great tip. thanks so much for sharing

[@BarnQuiltsbyMountainVisions]

Wow!!! What a fantastic tip!! Thank you and your viewers!

[@kristaself126]

I just ordered some of those pot risers also. They are strong enough to hold up my cement pots also.

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Great

[@heatherk2693]

Do you remember what they are called? I didn’t see them on the Amazon list.

[@kathleenlanglinais1072]

Great potting trick! I will be using it, thanks!

[@mavisjones4750]

Good morning Jenny! I need some of those risers. Removed a deck and installed a new concrete patio last year and have been trying to figure out how not to get stains, etc. on the concrete from all of my pots / plants.

[@galakrupa469]

Jenny, I have 2 of those trough planters on the front of my house as window boxes. They go so well with my red brick house, I just love them. I love the caladiums in yours.

[@israthrimi]

Really

[@hollyw.]

So refreshing to see Jenny creating as she is filming. Rather than having it all planned out ahead of time. Makes it feel more relatable when I'm deciding out loud what I'm planting in my pots. Hahaah. Love your choices in plants!

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Thank you❣️ I’m just trying to keep it real 😉

[@hollyw.]

@@GardeningwithCreekside You’re so welcome! That’s what made me subscribed to your channel. 😀 Thanks for always keeping it real and inspiring us gardeners. ❤️ 🪴 🌸💐

[@RevAcres01]

Great tip love the nursery pot when transplanting. Front porch looks beautiful.

[@rachellehite7429]

What beautiful planters so nice to see your ideas on mixing plants.

[@terridee9637]

Love your red front door!!!

[@maricelaaguirre8486]

Love the baston fern

[@cyndiamontgomery6524]

That pot forming trick is ingenious! Love your plant combos!

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

It really is life changing to us gardeners 😂

[@artsyladie7]

Don't you apologize a bit for that blue aqua pot planting! I have similar plants in several pots at my front door that look skimpy now too. But thankfully I am fully aware how HUGE all the plants get when they start getting happy and settled. I cant wait to see your pots later in summer!!

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Thank you❣️

[@aelliott8196]

All the pots are beautiful! Love the real life! 💛

[@lynnthow1650]

Good Morning! Thanks for sharing all the tips and tricks today!🧡

[@cdixon2011ify]

Thank you for the great tip. I always struggle with the ferns in hanging basket. I think I'm going to add an extra step by putting a plate over the empty pot top to prevent the soil from falling inside. I think it may be easier to push the soil around the sides as you fill!

[@maggiecudic2744]

Genius with the pot form!

[@darlenethompson6738]

I’ll be using that planting method today to repot my asparagus fern. It’s pokey and I don’t want to handle it too much. Thank you for sharing this potting tip. 🪴

[@princessreika]

Thanks for the great video Jenny! I’ve been thinking about some ideas for heat loving shade plants for my porch, so now I have some great ideas. I think the planter form planting idea came from Laura with Garden Answer and lots of your viewers have since incorporated it to their gardening repertoire 🙂 looking forward to more videos! PS: love the starlight hydrangea… will need to see if it will thrive in zone 5b 🙌

[@zeniazenia2787]

I have noticed the double impatience makes a huge mess on the porch floor. Maybe proven winners fixed that. Smart to put it dead center in that big planter. That should help too

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Hi Jenny! I love that blue pot on your porch, it so pretty 😍 Blue is my color 🙌

[@Alixi2012]

I just love the red door. I'll paint my door that color!

[@nhmountainwoman3203]

I totally agree ...the shade of red for the door is gorgeous next to the dark grey siding and black chairs...it pops and looks so cheerful and inviting...than add the beautiful blue pot and hanging baskets 🪴. It must be heavenly to sit and relax in one of your porch chairs, sipping a cup of coffee or tea and listening to the birds chirping away in the early morning hours or having a cocktail after a hard days work and enjoying the sunset. Your home and everything you’ve done is absolutely beautiful 🌸

[@marybethgardener111]

omg, thats the best tip ever!!!!!

[@cathysahlfeld3924]

💚 Thank you!

[@juliafiore120]

Good morning, Jenny ☕️ I love those caladiums ♥️. Have a Blessed Day. 😊

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Thank you

[@janeoshaughnessy8482]

Mont Don from Gardeners World usually does that with his pots!!! Great idea!

[@myrusticgardens]

I learned this trick from him! 🥰 Game changer!

[@julieroyce8945]

I have a huge planter, about 3 feet deep that I plant in beside my pool each year, and I keep the bottom two feet of old soil each year and just add a foot of new soil to save money, because I figured the things I am planting won’t root deeper than the first foot of soil. I have never had any issues. I didn’t know you weren’t supposed to do that. 😬 I have so many containers and raised beds that I save money on soil wherever I can. It gets really expensive. I may need to see if I can buy it in bulk, like I do my mulch. I could easily use a truck bed or two of soil each year.

[@imahick5723]

You have such a great eye for combining plants and you've chosen such interesting varieties to put together. It's nice and fresh! PS love your headband! It lets your pretty face show

[@israthrimi]

Right

[@lindaphillips7936]

Looking cool 😎

[@ephemeraphilesbytomi]

What a smart idea!

[@Rougebasque]

Love where your brain goes! great taste.

[@heatherjung8941]

I first saw the pot trick on Gardener’s World and it was Monty Don who showed it.

[@pranitalakeram9443]

Beautiful porch, just missing a hammock 😉 love the plant selection ❤

[@kathierogers3208]

What great tips and advice!

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Beautiful Jenny 🌸💕🌸

[@myragooden8667]

Thanks for passing the tip along. How is your friend’s hydrangea doing since you transplanted it?

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

It’s doing great! All flushed out & growing well. We will have to give an update on it with our next nursery tour.

[@andreaschnapp6454]

Jenny, I would be interested to know if you have any problems with caladiums touching your house and leaving streaks. These streaks will not wash off, but through the winter will eventually disappear. I cannot find what the substance is but it is caladiums since there wasn’t anything else in the pot.

[@denise-jerryjenkins1672]

Hey Jenny, I've been painting plastic lids {milk or tea jugs} to go under pot for yeats!

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

So smart!!!!

[@israthrimi]

Very useful tricks

[@noellanmcdaniel9055]

I use your new found planting trick for potted calla lilies as they really dont like roots disturbed. Works amazing even in the land scape! Have a wonderful day! P.S. red silver and blue christmas decore or 4th of July decore? Giggle

[@rebeccaramirez-]

thank you for post

[@terrivance8750]

Jenny, I love, love, love the new sweet potato vine, especially love how it brings out the red in the Pegasus begonia. I also love the Pegasus--just gave several as gifts of encouragement (it's practically bullet proof, which beginners need) to a couple of my gardening-challenged members of my Bible study group. Just curious, what is the antique to the left of ya'all's door?

[@debjohnson5976]

I have four big ferns to repot- so I will be trying this trick this weekend!! Also ordered the plant pot feet- it will be a game changer!!! Love the plant choices too! And need help- what Espoma do I use for a hydrangea ?? TIA

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Rose-tone is best, but Plant-tone is great as well

[@8_Ray_8]

Can you do a video with perennial shrubs for shade that are drought tolerant please 🤗 I’m in zone 6

[@cgzone8]

Jenny, I don't recall you using Espoma Starter Fertlizer or are you out @ this time? Thx for sharing. cgzone8

[@angelajanz339]

Just a thought: what if you turned the pot upside down to pack around it? This way you could dump dirt around the edges without getting any in the pot. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Only problem is that the container has a wider top than bottom so the plant wouldn’t fit perfectly in the form

[@kathymacomber5115]

Great video

[@jenniferwolford4646]

Oh how I wish I could find mini Vista indigo. 😭😭😭 Is that what's in your hanging baskets. Maybe you'll say, I'm asking early.

[@jenniferwolford4646]

Best is to fill it full, then you shove the pot in and it's all firm.

[@jenniferwolford4646]

Of course that works too!! 🤣🤣
