Do you have a gardening philosophy you would like to share with other gardeners? What is it?
I prefer low maintenance and a tropical look. I've mixed humilus palms and agave attenuata? for a tropical look that requires little water or maintenance. I am not a purist so I do not care if some are desert plants as long as they have a lush tropical look. -
What plant have you tried to grow that has given you the most trouble? Or, what plant would you like to grow and can't, and why?
I've had trouble with 3 foot cuttings of drago or dragon tree. They are all alive in the ground one year after planting cuttings as they still have their green top leaves. The problem is that some of their stalks are shriveled and wrinkled and others are firm, but there still is no new growth. What should I do?
