Indoor plants.

Can we see some of your indoor plants,bulbs,trees,orchids,conservatory plants etc.

Here is Narcissus Papyraceus.....commonly known as Paperwhite forced to flower indoors around Christmas.They smell gorgeous too.

 

Oh, lovely roders! I haven't had any of them for years, must buy a pot next time I see them.

 

They are absolutely beautiful and delicate - clever you putting them against a black backdrop - maximum impact achieved!

 

I don't have houseplants but I couldn't resist this peach-coloured Christmas Cactus at Lidl last week ....

 

Here are my rubber plant cuttings I took on 5/8/08
I always put the plant outside in the summer, and then I take cuttings with the air layering method.
After I wrapped the damp moss around the cut [upwards above a leaf] and put the polythene around I left them until the 10/11/08 and then I put them into pots the root growth was very strong
I am very pleased as I have never done it before.

This is my plant with more cuttings waiting to develop

 

Nathan you have made a good job of those cuttings.I have read about how to do them in my indoor gardeniong books but have never tried it myself.I was just thinking the other day I might get myself a Swiss Cheese as i had one years ago.You don't see them much any more so I expect they have gone out of fashion...:thumb:

 

Schlumbergera........Christmas Cactus.

I make no excuse for showing off this magnificent plant yet again,it stands outside most of the year with little or no attention and then it does this.

 

Roders, when you say your schlumbergera is outside during the summer, does it have any protection from sun and rain? When I've tried to put these sort of plants out for the summer, I've always lost them. Any tips for keeping them healthy outside? Thanks.

 

Its Gorgeous Roders and it looks Huge.. Love it..

 

Terrier,this plant thrives on neglect,thats why I like him so much,sun ,rain and light frost.
It is an established plant with a good root system.......that helps.

Dee it's over a metre wide.

 

I'm glad you decided to show your Christmas Cactus off again, roders, it is magnificent :gnthb:. Thanks for sharing it with us.

 

Beautiful. My Christmas Cactus is blooming nicely now. Hope it keeps its blooms for Thanksgiving day, a nice touch to the holiday.

 

Should be ready for Christmas..........anyone else got any Hyacinths.
