Hi, I just got an 8" dracaena giganta (drat that's fun to say) for my bedroom. My question is what is the best pot size? The stores are out of a lot of stuff so 12" was the best they had. Is that too big? It's no problem for me to return the pot and try to find a 10" one.

If it came in an 8" pot you probably want a 10"—I believe some varieties of Dracaena do better without a ton of extra space but I'm not sure if that applies here. That said, a 12" pot might not be ideal but it will probably do just fine as long as it's in well draining soil and the pot has a drainage hole.

I think the person at the store said you don't want to have 2" + around the sides so a 10" is better. I'm not sure how people determine that!

This one here is Acer circinatum var “Pacific Fire”. It’s harder to see here, but the bark does this cool thing where this year’s growth is a deep red and it fades back to orange and yellow at the trunk. It’s funny, I saw a ton of these at the Northwest Flower and Garden show, so they should be fairly easy to find if you want one yourself.  When I started this collection I thought I was just going to stick with palmatum, shirasawanum and japonicum but these vine maples are a real treat and seem to grow a good bit faster.

Nosre posted:Those are gorgeous. I don't have the room for them, but one day... So here’s the where I get to play enabler - most of those varieties do just just fine in medium to largish pots. I buy only gallon sized trees (unless I hit the jackpot at Costco) and they sit in pots anyway until I figure out where they will go, but they could be very happy in a 10+ gallon pot. That’s even before you get into the numerous dwarf varieties. I’ve seen cultivars that max out at 2’x2’.

I have four bell pepper pots in containers, a few have started to show signs like this and I don't know what is wrong or what to do. Edit: imgur image isn't showing in the post will reupload and try again? RandomPauI fucked around with this message at 05:06 on May 20, 2020 |

Is there some cheap way to make a plant stand for the corner of my bedroom? It needs to be at least a couple feet tall and hold a 10" pot. Most of the actual stands are not my style, too expensive or too short. Just some hack I can do with Target stuff would be cool! Right now it's sitting on a chair, pretty sad.

Search for a side/accent table. Probably not gonna be cheaper than a plant stand. Upside down garbage pin is I think the cheapest option. You could join two end to end. There's no second hand place nearby?

Do fruit plants go in the "veggie and herb gardening" (i.e. edible?) thread or in the "plants in general" (i.e. non-edible?) thread??? O what to do. Our grapevines are putting out shitloads of flower clusters!! The new shoots are growing at a rate of inches per day. I left about 10 buds on each cane, and each of the three vines has four canes, so that's about 120 fruiting buds. With 2-3 clusters emerging per shoot, that's about 240-360 bunches of grapes in total?! Based on some literature I've read, I'm a little worried I might've overcropped them (grown too much fruit). However, they were super vigorous last year, growing from a single bud down by the ground all the way to a full trunk with four or five fruiting canes per vine. So I think cropping on the high end for each species is appropriate. I might cluster thin (remove fruit clusters before they set) depending on how many leaves end up on each shoot. I have a 3-wire trellis, and I have some canes on each wire, so I can see whether they grow best going up or down the trellis. So far they seem to like growing up. Also I'm a huge nerd, so I drew diagrams of how I pruned each vine, including bud count and location, so I have a record of how they grow each year.

Most of the actual stands are not my style, too expensive or too short. Just some hack I can do with Target stuff would be cool! Right now it's sitting on a chair, pretty sad. Finding plant stands at a particular height is a huge pain in the rear end in a top hat based on recent experience. Places like Lowes, Home Depot, and Amazon will have a decent number listed but they won't let you filter by height while places like Wayfair that do let you filter by height tend to be pretty expensive (though sometimes you can find the same item listed on Wayfair for a lot less money elsewhere). If you find a cheap (actual) plant stand you like I'd be careful—most of the inexpensive metal ones are super unstable. As someone else suggested, I'd look for side tables or accent tables, particularly second hand ones—I've found some nice stuff on Craigslist and Facebook marketplace though most of them needed some refinishing or painting.

I'd have to find them in the EU, though; I've got my local place but have never sourced anything weirder

Adjustable table legs (or just saw 'em down to size) and a wooden cutting board might work too.

 Do any of you know what this is? It looks like darker green chives. Tubular leaves. They don’t smell like chives when you break the leaves. I’m in zone 6 in New Hampshire.

plant stand info - thanks I'm wondering if I should just put it on the dresser instead though - if it's in that corner while it get enough light? It would be at quite an angle to the window.

Well now that 60+ dahlias are planted in the front bed, it’s time to trim and incorporate the Celosia. The yellow ones grew faster than the reddish ones, but they’re coming along just fine anyway.  Man, I am absolutely loving these colors and my wife thinks it’s the best thing ever.

  The yellow one was given to me by a bulgarian district carer, going back to her home country because her 80 year old husband was cheating on her with the (much, much younger) woman next door, she stripped the house and garden of everything when she left.

I'm not great at outdoor plants so hoping one of you can help me with an ID - my friend working as a landscaper sent this to me asking if I knew what it was and how to get rid of it, because they're struggling to control it. My first guess would have been some sort of lily but due to its invasiveness and resistance to glyphosate I'm leaning more towards like... helleborine. Zone 7b/8a.
