Another question please - In order to stimulate growth of new side-shoots on a citrus tree, you can "score" just above a node. Can I do that on bougainvilleas too, rather than pruning & cutting out the older stems/branches completely? Will scoring work to make it bushy in the bare parts ? Will scoring also work on olive trees to make them bushier ? Thanks !
@thelmamccatty9181 6 күн бұрын
Great questions @ Muswell. While I haven't tried what you've suggested, it should work in theory as it's similar to what's done in airlayering. But be sure to cleanly remove all the bark tissue down to the woody layer. Good luck and please let us know how it turns out.

I'm afraid I gave my bougainvillea too much phosphorus...a 10-20-10 soluble. Significant amount of flowers falling off. Guess I'll have to prune back and start over. I'll surround her with other flowers to veil the bare branches she'll have.
@gardeningwithcalyx 24 күн бұрын
Oops! We know how this feels. But it sounds like you know you’ll have to be more careful next time. So, unless you’re trying to promote root growth in a young plant, go easy on the phosphorus; likewise the nitrogen, unless you’re promoting leaf growth. That’s a great consolation idea, surrounding her with flowers while she recuperates😊

I just purchased this type of plant and love the pink blooms. Mine are still rather small but have these thick leaves but I cannot find thorns anywhere. Will they show up after these plants grow? There is a QR code to scan for care info. I did take a photo of it but noting happened. I give up with scans as I have tried on many things and it is the same. I am in HOT Phoenix AZ so just wonder how our hot and dry climate may affect these. I have them in a south facing pergola and they are blooming. So they do get partial shade. But for winter do I need to cover them as we do get some cold nights down sometimes to 30F?
@gardeningwithcalyx 24 күн бұрын
Your plant may be a thornless type (species) of crown of thorns. However, the thornless type likes the same hot, dry growing conditions as their thorned cousins. Definitely protect them from frost, either by moving them indoors in cold weather or covering them if it’s a brief frost.

@gardeningwithcalyx 24 күн бұрын
We included compost tea in Part 3 of our Beginner Backyard Gardening Series video, but haven’t done a separate video on how to make and apply compost tea. Our simple method: Mix one part of finished compost (or fully decomposed manure) in 5 parts of water. Stir well. Place the mixture in a shady location for 3 - 5 days, stirring at least twice daily. Strain and apply undiluted to beds; half strength to pots; and one-third strength when spraying plant leaves. Thanks for subscribing and for this video idea😊

What soil do you recommend because I’m needing to transplant, my Madagascar crown of thorns thank you for the help
@gardeningwithcalyx 24 күн бұрын
A - The main problem when transplanting crown of thorns is stem rot, so its very important that the potting mix doesn’t retain too much water. Avoid using a heavy soil (e.g., clay) in the transplant media. A mixture of 2 parts free draining soil + 1 part sand + 1 part organic matter should be good. If you’re using a standard commercial potting mix, you can add up to 20% sand or perlite to improve drainage.

My question is, I have a huge Epidendrum (recently found in a remote part of the garden). What is the best way to firstly cut that back and secondly, take cuttings from that plat to give to friends? Again, many thanks for you great instructions. Helen from Australia
@gardeningwithcalyx 24 күн бұрын
Great question Helen, perfect for a video topic😊. First trim away any old, dried and dying leaves. Use a garden spade or shovel to dig up a part of the clump, or if you wish, the entire clump, with as much of the roots as possible. Use a sharp knife or secateur to cut away any dried, dying or dead pseudobulbs. What you’re left with are the healthy pseudobulbs with roots attached. These you may cut into segments of one or more pseudobulbs.

Excellent video. Thank you. Mine is in Athens - definitely no slugs - it's trained against a trellis & is now quite large. It blooms on the tips, so I really need to cut it quite severely because there's a lot of old bare wood. Is it ok to cut some old stems - or does it have to be where there is a node.
@gardeningwithcalyx 28 күн бұрын
Its not easy to distinguish nodes along old stems, so it doesn’t really matter where along the stem you cut. Luckily old stems readily send out multiple new shoots below the cut area. And I’m sure you know that a severe prune allows you to re-direct the growth, shape and bushiness of the new plant. We recently cutback a large old boug that was trained up a high wall. Thanks to your question, we will do a video on this shortly.

Hi Thelma,please help. I am new to gardening and bougainvillea. I planted some bougainvillea cuttings 2 days ago,but unfortunately this was before I found your video,and i followed another video I found on KZfaq where the person covered the new cuttings in the plant pot with a plastic bag,creating a greenhouse of sorts. Did i ruin my chances of my bougainvillea rooting by doing the same? Can i take the plastic bag off and hope to salvage my cuttings? I'm in Barbados btw if that helps. Definitely am subscribing to your channel.
@thelmamccatty9181 27 күн бұрын
I once followed the advice of rooting boug cuttings under plastic and was disappointed with the results. While the buds emerged much faster under cover than uncovered ones, rooting was much slower. Also, a much higher proportion of covered shoots shriveled when the covering was removed at the end of the propagation period. If yours are semi-hard or hardwood cuttings and they have not pushed out shoots as yet, it should be safe for you to remove the plastic bag, Just be sure to keep the rooting media moist. If you can get more cuttings, I'd say set up another batch following the methods shown in our video 'Propagating Bougainvillea From Stem Cuttings'. I hope this helps you. Thanks for subscribing. Btw, I lived in Barbados for 10 years, made a lot of friends, did a lot of gardening and loved it:)

Thank you Calyx, I’m grateful for your expertise with Crown of Thorns/Euphorbia Milii, and for the generosity and clarity with which you share your expertise with Subscribers like myself. I’m happy with the coral-pink variety I got from Costco a short while ago, and I’m wondering if I could ask for your advice on how best to care for it. Living in Toronto, Canada, we’re subject to seasonal weather, quite unlike the blessing of a year-round growing season in Tropical Jamaica 🤩 Being the end of May, we are now well into Spring, when Nature burgeons with growth. My Crown of Thorns has as much leaf growth as it has flowers. My question, after watching your videos on opting between Plant Growth vs. Flowering, is which of the two I ought to choose at this time, ie, forcing plant growth by eliminating its flowers, or reducing its branches and leaves, in favour of more flowering? Once September rolls around, growth slows down, and even though my plant is within my condo, it too will slow down until spring next April. I’d appreciate your advice, please.
@gardeningwithcalyx 28 күн бұрын
Thanks for your kind compliments and support. This is an interesting question for us to answer since, as you mentioned, Calyx operates in a totally different climate. Our best advice - do not remove the leaves at this time (early summer). Since it appears the plant has sufficient leaves to support flowering, apply a fertilizer that promotes flowering - one that is low in Nitrogen, medium in Phosphorus and high in Potassium (e.g., NPK 5 - 10 - 25). This should stimulate more flowers in mid to late summer before the plant starts to drop its leaves in response to seasonal changes. Hope this helps. Let us know how it turns out.

This creates a lively appearance. Enjoy beautiful Jamaica 🇯🇲

Does this plant need any support? Like Moss pole or bamboo stick. Can we plant this in a pot or a hanging basket. Please advise. Thanks.
@gardeningwithcalyx Ай бұрын
These are very good questions. A single Medinilla plant growing by itself should be supported as its stems can get quite lanky. Attach stems to poles similar to what you would use for tomatoes. Moss poles are not necessary as Medinilla does not have tendrils or other means of attaching itself. Medinilla grows well in pots but make sure pots are large enough to support the size and weight of the particular plant. Growing in Medinilla in hanging baskets is not recommended.

We haven’t tried propagating crown of thorns from leaves, but doubt that it would be successful as you’d have to wait 2 - 3 days until the sap stops flowing and the petiole end calluses. By this time the leaf would be very wilted, almost dead!
