Cats rule, dogs drool - says Charlie to Draco But we are still friends!

😺 Cats rule, dogs drool - says Charlie to Draco 🐶 But we are still friends!

Draco is a cat DogPurson. If it was a human he would be jumping all over them. Cats calm him down. When Charlie comes up to him in the yard, he lays down really low to make himself small and waits for her to come love on him.

Be nice to each other. Just be kind. It's the least you can do, but it makes a big difference. Good night.🌜

How to grow Bottle brush trees

Callistemon - Bottle Brush Tree

Q: Please recommend me a cold hardy flowering tree that doesn't need much care.

A: Growing bottle brush trees (Callistemon spp.) can be a rewarding experience, as they are known for their striking, brush-like flowers and ability to attract pollinators. Here are some detailed tips to help you successfully grow and maintain these trees.

Hardiness

Bottle brush trees are best suited for USDA hardiness zones 8-11. They thrive in warm climates and can tolerate some light frost, but severe cold can damage or kill the plant.

Planting Location

Sunlight: Bottle brush trees require full sun to thrive. Ensure they get at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
Soil: They prefer well-draining soil. While they are relatively tolerant of poor soil conditions, a sandy or loamy
Space: Consider the mature size of the tree when planting. Some species can grow quite large, so provide enough space for them to spread without being crowded by other plants or structures.

Attracting Pollinators

Bottle brush trees are popular with pollinators. Their bright, nectar-rich flowers attract bees, butterflies, and birds, particularly hummingbirds. This makes them an excellent choice for a garden designed to support local wildlife.

Blooming and Fertilization

Bottle brush trees typically bloom in late spring to early summer. However, in mild climates, they may have sporadic blooms throughout the year.
Fertilization: While bottle brush trees do not require heavy fertilization, applying a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring can promote healthier growth and more abundant blooms. Be cautious not to over-fertilize, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers. During the year, use |find_name=Sunshine Boosters Megaflor(Sunshine Megaflor)| - it is safe to use with every watering, year around.

Watering

During the establishment period, keep the soil moist. Once established, they are quite drought-tolerant but will benefit from regular watering during dry spells.

Pruning

Prune after flowering to maintain shape and remove any dead or diseased branches. This also encourages bushier growth.

By following these guidelines, you can enjoy the beauty and benefits of bottle brush trees in your garden. Their vibrant flowers and attraction to pollinators make them a delightful addition to many landscapes.

Whats wrong with your water? (Dont do this to your irrigation system)
🎥 What's wrong with your water? (Don't do this to your irrigation system)

☔️ Your hose or rain water brings your plants a drink, but not a plant food! Adding composted manure to your irrigation is just not the right solution... Instead, you should make a solution of scientifically formulated liquid plant food - Sunshine Boosters.

  • 💧All Sunshine Boosters are compatible and can be mixed all in one watering-can right before use.

  • 💧They can be used with every watering, year around including winter time

  • 💧Different formulas designed for different plant types: fruiting, flowering, foliage plants, etc., plus additional supplements of microelements and biostimulants.

  • 💧Sunshine Boosters have a full spectrum of essential elements. Amino-acids provide total consumption, so nutrients do not build up in soil even with daily applications.
