I gave up on a plant

Post Reply New Topic

it's my umbrella tree. It wasn't doing very good. Some of the stalks were turning brown and most of the leaves were withering and falling off so I just put it outside and when I'm sure it's dead, I'll reclaim the soil for use in something else.

I don't think I'll be getting another. Too temperamental.

I'll stick with cacti, English ivy, spider plants and snake plants. Though we were given a nice baby aloe plant the other day.

but I don't know what's going on with my amaryllis. I planted the bulb on the 26th and it's not showing any signs of life. From what I understand, they grow almost fast enough to watch.

I'm sorry to hear it, I'm always upset when any of my plants die. My first basil plant died last week, I grew them from seeds.

I like growing eremophila plants though, they're beautiful, sadly, my Eremophila glabra died around two months ago, I grew that plant from a 3cm seedling into a metre high plant and then it just... dies.

Though Umbrella trees aren't really good to have in a garden. The roots can tear a house's driveway/plumbing to pieces.

You might want to try a false aralia as well.
