@@LearnHow2 Great informative video! The previous home owners at my location had planted foxglove in the front yard in front of the window. I saw a humming bird come around a week ago which caught my interest. The plantation area though had become overwhelmed with weeds and some decay and they began to shrivel up. I think a few years without care. Recently though I had a friend come over who'd worked in a nursery and we are cleaning it up and planning to plant fresh soil and foxgloves in the new spring! Can't wait.

This is invaluable, visually clarifies every step along the way and success rates; no beating around the bush or additional complication, best educational guide I've seen thus far. Its lifespan is a bit of a drawn-out process but a beautiful plant that needs a bit of help re-introducing into the countryside. Much appreciated!! P.s. have you experimented with germination rates through prior dry or moist stratification; "lazy" scattering seeds around directly onto the outside soil; different seed packet brands; same year flowering varieties; and not covering the seeds with a layer of compost as they need light for germination? Just curious to learn about the variations if there's any.

Hi Gjulshen. Do not over water - the soil should only be moist (not wet or else the plants will drown and rot). Never place in direct sunlight until the plant is well established - the hot sunlight will cause the small plant to lose all its moisture and it dies. Big pants have lots more roots so can draw water out of the soil so they can cope with sunlight.

Hi Leah. If your climate is warm enough then plant as soon as you can after January otherwise for cooler climates (as here in the UK) plant early March. If you plant early then you may get flowers in the same year (September). Otherwise for late planted seeds you will have to leave the plants in the ground over winter and they will flower early in the following year.

My foxglove seedlings aren’t looking so hot. I’m starting them indoors under some good full spectrum LED grow lights, but they’re very tall and leggy. They’re over an inch tall with only the first two leaves on them. They fall over when watering with a spray bottle. I thought a fan would help them strengthen up, but I’m not sure if that will dry them out or hurt them. Any pointers? Should I trash them and start a new tray of them?
@LearnHow23 жыл бұрын
Hi Billy. My experience of Leggy plants is that the light has been too weak or to little light. The plant grows tall to try to reach the light and then cant support its weight. This often happens indoors in winter months when light is low so I suspect your LED light is not up to the job. I would start again trying to give them as much sunlight as you can. Keep safe.
