I've got a spider plant and geranium growing on my bedroom windowsill. I think I've been over-watering the geranium though. As I understand, the two plants need radically different amounts of water. Any tips? Pics: + Show Spoiler + Spider Plant ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/Z0zYm.jpg) Geranium ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/vthAc.jpg) This is a very serious thread and I will be very put off if it is closed. Please share the plants that you love and water and speak to. <3 | ||

Those sunflowers look amazing. I assume since they are Russian I could plant some in a couple weeks (Easter Canada) and probably have some luck? Do I need to buy seeds online?-I don't think I've ever seen these before | ||

![[image loading]](http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/define-snapdragon-1.jpg) I like these. Snapdragons! Really neat little flowers. I also am a big, big fan of a another plant or two. | ||

Raise them indoors under 6500K lights, 16-24 hours of light per day, with a fan blowing on them. Don't let them get root bound in their pots. Transplant outside when night temperatures are above 50F. Prepare a deep bed with lots of nutrients and drainage. Make the bed least a half meter deep, a meter deep if you are fucking serious about them like me. Here are last year's babies.+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/axf3b.jpg) Here is the pit I dug for the bed. The soil here is basically clay, so I had to fill in lots of compost, sand, coffee chaff, and peat moss. ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/QvPMO.jpg) Holy shit that's some very serious gardening. Thanks for sharing man! Will definitely look into these. Do you have pics of the fully grown flowers? | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.venusflytrap.co.uk/images/wasp_venus_small.jpg) I've always found carnivorous plants appealing. Not only do the eat pesky bugs but they look hardcore while they do it. I like how they show how brutal nature really is. A Venus Flytrap would probably be my first choice. | ||

Bamboo can really take over in the right climate, but is quite difficult to contain (My grandparents planted some a few years ago and now it's 20 feet tall and quite robust). The roots spread out underground and sprout new shoots, so they can require a lot of work to prevent a bamboo fence from encroaching on your lawn. At least this makes it really easy to make a bamboo forest + Show Spoiler [Bamboo growth] + ![[image loading]](http://www.texasbamboosociety.net/image/runningrhizome.jpg) | ||

Thus there's nothing flowerish in my room, except for things like parsley in the kitchen for cooking purposes. + Show Spoiler + For all those McDonalds/Burgerking freaks like me, that's it and you can ACTUALLY eat it! ![[image loading]](http://www.gartentipps.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/kraeuter-giessen.jpg) If the garden counts as well, there's way too much to just pick a few so I'm going with the biggest thing there is: ![[image loading]](http://www.colostate.edu/Dept/CoopExt/4dmg/images/walnut1.jpg) Walnut trees rules, they're just awesome. Imagine a cold wintery day, you don't want to go outside because it's fucking cold and you don't have to, because you have everything you need inside. Your couch, TV, a few walnuts and hopefully a nutcracker. Screw those animals and their wintersleep. I've perfected that without the need of sleeping thus you're not missing a thing! Edit: Oh and I used to have a small field of strawberries in the garden too. Now that's awesome, walnuts, strawberries, there's nothing missing and you're the luckiest man alive. Sadly I don't know what happend to that field of strawberries | ||

My father wanted to cut it because of its wierd growing patern but I didnt allow it. It took me 1 year to make it grow straight and now it gives so much fruit that the tree's branches are so low to the ground lol. It gives so much fruit that we can drink home made apricot juice trough the whole year. We have another apricot tree, 2 peach trees, 2 plum trees, pear tree, 9 grapefruit vines, blackberries and blueberries in the yard. My mom got lots of flowers too but I dont know the names in english lol. | ||

As to plants, well I got a few at my appartment. Im no expert of any sort but I believe they are some variety of Orkidé.

If I was to attempt to grow something again I'd choose a strong smelling flower, as I hate the choking stench of aerosol-air-fresheners but I also dislike the coldness of opening a window... If anyone could recommend a strong smelling indoor flower to grow I'd be very grateful, as I'm not sure what would work ~_~ | ||

If so I fail to understand how this thread is protesting ... I mean I get that flowers are peacefull and guns are not but , why precisely a plant thread. Anyways for the plant , I have always adored bonzai trees and I want copious amounts of them. Also there is a blood read maple looking tree that just looks fantastic :p | ||

So far I'm pretty sure about three plants that I want to buy in the near future. I don't know the name of the first plant, but it's a pretty regular plant. I just adore how the leaves are light yet the wood is so sturdy. ![[image loading]](http://www.de-co-sign.de/Kunstpflanzen%20DW/Kunstpflanzen%20Bilder/Kunstpflanzen%20Fikus.jpg) Lemon tree in a pot - Someone online said you could grow one indoors.

 Currently have beds of rhubarb, garlic, redishio (might be radishio actually) lettuce, a pepper plant and there are plans for some peas and tomatoes. I also keep plenty of herbs indoors on a mini herb garden thing I have on my kitchen windowsill. Got chives, coriander, basil and rosemary on there at the moment. The kitchen smells awesome. Edit: Flowers to grow for your special someone, especially if you're bored of the rose cliché: http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/plants/plant_finder/plant_pages/272.shtml Every female relative I have ADORES this plant. | ||
