I would like to plant some plants/flowers in front of my privacy fence. I am just not sure what would be the best thing to plant. There is very little sun in the morning and a lot of sun in the afternoon. I was thinking of a climbing plant but I don't know anything about those either.
Can any one suggest some nice plants/flowers to plant in front of my privacy fence?
since you are interested in a plant that would climb i would suggest a hummingbird vine.. i find them to be very pretty and they are almost fool proof to grow! the vine produces a beautiful little red flower and attracts beautiful little hummingbirds! as far as i know they do well in lots of sun or shade. it may also be called trumpet vine however ive always heard it called hummingbird vine. good luck and hope you find this info helpful. good day!
Reply:we did morning glories and they took over the porch, climbed the water spout, and started wrapping around the phone line so.....watch those closely. Trim as you like. I like the orange wild flower (lily) that you find on the side of the road. Guess you think about color as well as sunshine and what planting zone you are in.

What is the correct way to take care of a Majesty palm indoor plant?
I got a majesty palm plant for my apt. i need know the way to take of it. i hear that they are difficult plants. how much water and sun light does it need. and fertilizer
What is the correct way to take care of a Majesty palm indoor plant?
Palms are a high light demand plant. Pick the sunniest window you have and set it as close to the glass as you can. Do not transplant it into some poorly draining container. Palms actually do not mind being very rootbound. If you want to put it into a pretty container, get one big enough that you can set the grow pot inside it along with a saucer. DO NOT OVERWATER! It will need to be thoroughly watered, but it cannot take standing water. You can get around this by setting something as a spacer in the bottom of the containter, in the saucer and allow the water to run out of the grow pot and into the saucer, but the palm is not sitting in it.
You can take the whole thing out of the deco container and give it a good drink in a tub and then set it back where it goes after it has finished draining. Plain old water soluble fertilizer like Peter's, etc. is fine. Osmocote or some other slow-release is fine too. Watch for spider mites and mealybugs. A little daily misting when it is hot is a good method of suppressing spidermites. Have fun, palms are really not that hard provided they get enough light.
Reply:I have one that I keep in my bedroom in front of the window during the winter. It starts to yellow some, when the fronds dry up, I cut it off, more are always growing. I use plant food spikes %26amp; they work well. After frost is over, in may, I put it outside on my patipo where it gets good light, but not direct sun, %26amp; it grows like a weed til first frost. Then it goes back in the house. Inside I water every 1-2 weeks. Outside, 2-3 times a week when it's really hot.

My majestic palm is losing its limbs. what is wrong? i planted it in a pot facing the south. its not inthe sun
i put it in a large pot with fresh potting soil. i have lost several limbs, they continue to turn brown and i have to cut them off. the front porch has cover from wind and sun. soon i will lose the entire plant if i dont find out whats wrong.

I had a similar thing happen to my palm, turns out that I was over watering the plant, which turned it brown and caused parts to dye back. I took the plant out its pot and replaced the soil with a good mixture of soil and grit, stop watering so much and has now come back to life. However was a very slow process, took about a year to take effect. Trick to getting a good palm is good drainage, don't let the roots sit in water, they will rot. Good Luck.
Reply:check the roots, if they are rotting then you need to replant and water less
Reply:All plants need sunlight. It's the whole part of photosynthesis.

Why does a plant in the hot sun might wilt?
It gets dehydrated. The sun dries up all the water in the cells.
Why does a plant in the hot sun might wilt?
Water is drawn out of the plant through osmosis
Reply:some plants dont require direct sun light if any or it could be lack of water or bad soil seirosly try some day old coffee on it or coffee gruonds around it , ps do not heat up the coffee
Reply:Wilting is a defense mechanism. It allows the plant to expose less surface area to the sun, thus decreasing the rate of dehydration.
Reply:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilting
Reply:water loss due to transpiration
plants especially those with soft bodies rely on water to firm and strengthen themselves
under the hot sun all the water evaportates or rather transpirates and the plant can no longer hold it's self up
if your a guy think of the role blood flow plays in an erection... make sense now

Reply:because it is getting dehydrated. moisture is depleated.
Reply:probably from being out in the hot sun, they need to be watered, and not when it is hot, usually in the evening on a hot day

I have a daisy plant. It blooms yellow daisies. Its in a pot. Why are the leaves curling at the ends?
I've had to spray an insecticide to kill a white fungus and to eliminate green inch worms. I thought this may have something to do with the leaves curling. But, now I don't think so, because I haven't used the spray in a few weeks. The leaves are still curling. The plant is in a big pot. So there is plenty of room for the roots. And the plant recieves plenty of sun light. There are other daisy plants in my neighborhood. The leaves aren't curled at the ends. So I know it is not natural for this to occur. The leaves are green like their suppose to be. New leaves are appearing everyday. I add shultzs plant food to the water, when I water the plant. I water around every 5 days.

The flower pot may be too big--sometimes when the pot is too big for the plant, the leaves will dry and curl at the tips. It has to do with the quality of soil becoming poor because the plant is not large enough to sustain the proper chemical balance--reducing the soil quality. I suggest that you transplant it into a smaller pot.

Is it beter to plant my mother in law in the shade or the sun ?
Guess that depends on how well you liked her.If she was nice a little shade if she was a mean old lady the hot hot sun.
Is it beter to plant my mother in law in the shade or the sun ?
if you are burying her during the summer, put her in a bikini and put her in the shade to keep cool. If you are planting her during the winter, put her in the sun but bring her back to the shade when summer comes! That would be the right thing to do!
Reply:AS far away from your house as possible, who cares what that looks like, just throw her in.
Reply:shade with cool water.
Reply:SHADE OR SUN DOESN'T MATTER, JUST MAKE SURE IT IS DEEP
Reply:i would plant her in the shade if u expect your wife to stay with you. because i'm sure she loves her mother.
Reply:motherinlaw should be planted in shade area, water once a month
Reply:it all depends wether she is still alive or not. the sun is the best just do not forget to add water or else she will not grow. :) it always worked for me this way.
Reply:I recommend shade they tend to come to a boil if you leave them out. I know I would as well, so I stay near her.

Reply:If you are speaking of a mother in law plant (dieffenbachia), these prefer shade. They may have light, but no direct sunlight.
Reply:is she dead? or is that a name of a plant? i personnally would rather be in the shade!!

For a climbing plant I would suggest Star Jasmine. It is evergreen and blooms in late spring/early summer and smells heavenly. Or, you could plant Cosmos. They are easy to grow and get fairly tall. If you grow these, it would be a good idea to put in corner stakes and hang netting between to hold the tall plants upright. Plant the seeds fairly thick. They will grow through the netting and hide it and the stakes. They are really airy looking and have large, colorful flowers shaped like daisies. Beautiful. Both of these plants love full sun.
Reply:sunflowers
Reply:Personally, I would go with marigolds. The Small ones such as jack in the box or other variegated colors. they bloom all summer and fall and all you really have to do to them is pinch off the dead blooms once or twice a week.
Reply:Sunflowers
Reply:yes i can :)
Reply:Hostas are great-very low maintanence and they always look great!
Reply:I like California Poppies in mixed colors. They will even reseed themselves and are drought resistant.
