Girly McRadical asked: Here’s what I’ve got and done so far…
A lobelia Hybrid “Luguna compact with blue eye” and a “sunbeam kordana rose” both planted in 8 in terra cotta pots(with drain), on the ground in semi-shade.
A Calibrachoa hybrid “superbells tickled pink” planted in a hanging tin 6 in planter(with drain) hung in direct sun
A mini-spider plant and tiny-fern both in 3 in ceramic pots (no drain) in shade
I planted all 5 plants in Miracle Grow potting soil.
So here’s my questions…
1. would the spider or fern do better indoors? and do they need draining or larger pots?
2. How often should i water each of them? Do any of them need plant food?
3. It’s already fall so will they still be alive this winter? (I’m in SoCal)
4. If they die for the winter (1st 3 say annuals) When will they come back, do i have to do anything to them to make them come back?
5. Please! anything else I should know, I’m really new to this and don’t understand alot of garden-lingo yet,
Thanks!
And did I get good plants for a beginner?
(sorry for all the questions, but I went to Home Depot, it’s like pulling teeth trying to get customer service in that place LOL)
oh and do I have to worry about pests?
