ID: 2x Plants

Have you seen the newspaper offers! An independent couldn't even get their wares in the post for that money!!!

Then of course there are the specials that they hold the PBR for (as in D."Illumination Pink").

 

T&M plants are grown by other suppliers, my local nursery grew plants for them a couple of years ago, they were supplied with the seed by T&M & then had to do the rest.
When the plants were large enough T&M sent a lorry to collect.
They were then paid a pittance for the plants, they never bothered again.

 

Yes, but maybe I did something wrong. Would you like to give me an instruction? Maybe the instructions I got were not good enough.

 

Alright, the two Tropaeolums are now united in their own pot. When I took them out, the roots of one of the two babies came off. I used immediately rooting hormones and hope, it will re-grow its roots. That was two days ago.

Today, when I last checked, the damaged Tropalaeum still looks not bad at all. Maybe because it still takes the nutrition from germination leaves, not sure. The stem is a bit taller even and directed now more towards the sun. Despite that the roots are missing. I water it a bit more often, to compensate for the missing roots, hoping the wounded stem can take the nutrition in.
Will it re-grow its roots?

Stevia: The first photo should show a baby Stevia at the lower right side. :-)

 

I'm going to be growing Stevia this year. Where did you get your seeds? Were they from a reputable company?

 

That's because the EU wouldn't put it on their list of things we're allowed to consume, and its not known for its ornamental nature, so it had no value here. Then a year or two ago the EU added it to their list of things they'll let us try, so its becoming widely available now.

 

Probably the only bit missing from the instructions was the fact that Tricyrtis seeds have a limited shelf life!
All it takes for T.hirta is a cold period and then some warmth. Some species such as T.lasiocarpa don't need a cold spell.

 

Hi. I got my Stevia seeds from friends here in Jamaica. Usually I purchase all seeds on Ebay.
