When a money tree starts dying, the most likely cause is soggy soil and the root rot that follows. Most dying money trees are suffering from overwatering or poor drainage, which rots the roots so the plant can’t take up water, and that shows up as yellow, drooping, falling leaves and sometimes a soft trunk. … Read more >>
Yes. Cabbage leaves are safe for goats in small amounts, as an occasional treat. Goats can eat cabbage leaves safely when you offer a few raw, clean leaves a couple of times a week and keep hay or browse as the main part of their diet. The catch is quantity. Cabbage is a brassica, and … Read more >>
Yes, you can plant a money tree outside year-round if you live in USDA zones 10 to 12, where frost doesn’t happen. Everywhere else, you can keep it outdoors in a pot for the summer and bring it in before nights drop below 50°F. The money tree (Pachira aquatica) comes from the warm wetlands of … Read more >>
If you’re planting most cabbage varieties in a raised bed, I’d set them about 18 inches apart, measured from the center of one plant to the center of the next. For most cabbage in a raised bed, plant 18 inches apart; use 12 inches for small early types and 24 inches for big storage varieties. … Read more >>
A money tree is one of the easiest big houseplants you can grow indoors. Good money tree care comes down to bright, indirect light, watering only when the top 2 inches of soil are dry, and a fast-draining pot so the roots never sit in water. Get those three right and this tropical tree will … Read more >>
Most of the time, the answer is caterpillars. If you find ragged holes and small green droppings on your cabbage, the culprit is almost always a cabbage caterpillar (imported cabbageworms, cabbage loopers, or diamondback moth larvae), with flea beetles, slugs, and snails close behind. Larger bites taken from the outside of the plant point to … Read more >>
Air plants don’t harm healthy trees. Spanish moss, ball moss, and the other Tillandsia species you see on oaks, pecans, and cypress use branches only as a perch. They make their own food from sunlight and pull water and nutrients from rain, dew, and dust. Air plants are epiphytes, so they take no water or … Read more >>
I don’t recommend planting cabbage and strawberries side by side. Cabbage is a big, hungry annual that can shade low strawberry plants, and strawberries stay in the same bed for 3 to 4 years. That mismatch makes feeding, watering, and crop rotation harder for both. You can still grow both in the same yard. Give … Read more >>
Air plants are a good pick for a home with pets. Air plants (Tillandsia) aren’t known to be toxic to cats, dogs or people, and the ASPCA lists Spanish moss and several other bromeliads as non-toxic to cats and dogs. That said, a cat that chews an air plant can still throw up, and the … Read more >>
Yes, dogs can eat plain cabbage leaves in small amounts, raw or cooked, as long as nothing has been added to them. Cabbage isn’t toxic to dogs, and a few bites of a clean leaf make a crunchy, low-calorie snack for most healthy pups. The catch is what comes with it. Cabbage gives many dogs … Read more >>
