It helps the weaker plants break the seed open, Don't have to do it though


Here's a pretty good pic of a Nymphaea. sp I took.

That makes for a nice display and I can imagine the reaction of some guests when they come over and see that.

Hahaha, yeah it sure does... especially coz i don't close the terrarium doors during summer because of the high humidity inside, so people freak out when they think i have a deadly spider that can roam around my place whenever it wants...

That reminds me of the little poison arrow frogs that I have on my window sill.They are plastic but nicely detailed.

Does anyone have any ferns in their yard? I could use some tips or advice.

A lot. Some of my favourite plants, what kind of fern are we talking?

Not sure exactly which species all of them are as I have a few in the shade garden that I've been trying my hand at.I know for a fact that I have two Japanese painted ferns that I bought from Home Depot last year and I have a few bushy types that a neighbor gave me from his yard and the remaining are wild plants that I've brought back from hiking trips.

To be fair I haven't identified all of Mine either, it's quite hard with ferns. Are you having Problems?

Well,the clumps that I dug up and brought back from my travels seem to be very slow growing.I dug up nice szed clumps last year and planted them in my yard figuring that they would at least grow to the size that they were when I removed them but they are a lot smaller than I thought they would be this year.
