As described in the title, I received trees that I ordered months ago and am hoping to maintain them until the ground is workable. I heeled them into a container with compost and the sawdust they were shipped in and am keeping them in my garage. What do I need to do to increase their chance of survival?
That's it, that's all, just thought I'd share :)

Is it normal for tulpas to got dormant when I'm tired or sick because it seems to be pretty common for me. And example would be whem I'm really low on sleep, it seems to affect my tulpas aswell and also when I'm runned down or sick. Usually the spring back into action like a couple days later and say they got heaps of rest or something but I'm genuinely curious about this.
I have a few fig cuttings under 5 months old that are all a few feet tall. They developed fig rust or some other fungus while in my grow closet. My grow area is 7b, is it possible to put these younger figs outside to go dormant or is it to late in the season? Or will the cold kill young figs?
Hello,
I'm in California. I want to grow showy milkweed from seed and have some in the fridge. Is this a good time to get it started?
I bought starts last year, and they only got to be maybe a foot high and then all turned yellow and died back really early, in October before it was very cold out, no flowers, lived for a few months before that. Hoping they come back, but if not, I have seeds... forgot I had them! Just cleaned out my refrigerator and there they were!
Any tips would be welcome to get the seeds started AND to plant them out. These are showy variety which are native here. I would love to see flowers on them this year! The online advice I see is almost always for areas with frosts. We have only had one frost though in about 5 years here. It's like a Zone 10a most years and a 9b on paper, probably a microclimate since my area is a little valley in some hills that gets fortified with warmer fog a lot.
Is it the right time to start showy milkweed seeds? I am wondering if it's too late. We're cool here now, but there won't be any frosts -- still the other ones all look totally dead, like sticks in the ground and nothing more. I am assuming they are dormant, not dead, but I could be wrong. Anyways, we're coming up on our Spring, which begins in about February.
Being at Zone 10b, I am having a hard time of telling whether my venus fly trap is still dormant, or exiting dormancy, or dead. What signs can I use to determine these situations without checking out the rhizome? I read from somewhere that it might cause the venus fly trap to die if I dig and check it during a dormancy period. Can I get some hints from someone in the same zone I am in?
I'm seeing a lot of posts with issues which could possibly be attributed to winter dormancy so thought I would mention it here.
Note: I'm not an expert but I've been through a few winters with house plants.
If your plant is slowing down or losing leaves, it is possibly entering dormancy and will come back in spring. Sometimes you just can't stop it, no matter how hard you try (and it's also a good thing for the plant). Alocasias are one plant which I have a few of and tend not to fuss over in winter because they just like a good sleep.
Obviously don't just assume that any issues you have are from dormancy. Not all plants have a dormant phase, so Google is your best bet.
(There was no suitable flair, so I went with help!)
I got a jar, filled it with RO water and sat the pot inside. Since it today was a really humid day( for Arizona) I left the lid open. I plan on it being a house plant for the summer/spring and an outdoor plant in winter. My house is 30/40 percent and maybe lower with AC. How can I keep humidity. I heard should be at least 50 percent. Would a well ventilated terrarium work?
I'm thinking of writing something, but I want to make sure I have my facts right.
Hello all! I have 5 VFTs and a Cape Sundew that I’ve relegated to the porch for dormancy. They were all happy and healthy prior to going outside. I live in Georgia, USA. All of the other plants have gone dormant except one. It simply will not go to sleep. We have had cold weather here and even snow today, so the climate isn’t the issue. The one that won’t sleep has gotten waxy looking, but still green. They’re all in slotted pots with sphagnum moss and I am only keeping the moss damp, but not watering heavily as I used to during hot season. It’s colder outside than it would be in a fridge. What do you advise? Should I worry?
Hey guys
I live in vic Australia and i used dicamba selective poison on my kbg, red fescue perennial rye frass turf and it has gone south when summer hit. Dunno if i put too much poison on or if this is just dormancy. The weeds have started taking over.
Need advice! Wife will kill me… did have best grass in the street.

I feel like myself, I feel like I’ve grown but I also feel so different and more mature, despite being gone so long. I wonder if I’m really myself, or if I’m more than I used to be.
I thought trauma processing had to occur for fusion to occur. I don’t think or believe I fused, I just feel different and older (which is odd because I’m never out), and I’m just wondering if anyone else has had the same sorts of existential struggles coming out of dormancy?
Maybe it’s because I’m realizing more and more than I am also an alter. It just makes sense, somehow, I guess, even though I don’t like it. Nothing really cements that mentality like long periods of dormancy. I don’t know. Is this sort of existentialism a side effect of dormancy? Does anyone else relate?
