Roses need a lot of sun but afternoon shade. They also like consistent moisture, but I would avoid watering them if it's not going to be a sunny day.

I'm not sure about baby blue eyes tbh. They're a wildflower, but seem to be a native west coast thing. Not sure how ideal they would be for where you live.

The problem with Forget me nots is that certain kinds can take over gardens really quickly and are really difficult to get rid of if you want to start over.

why thanks

hmm I see I see taking over gardens really quickly and difficult to get rid of? how do they mainly reproduce? by seeds, or..shoots?

how about growing plants in a bedroom? what's recommended? I sorta wanna grow lavender to repel mosquitoes but are they able to grow in indoor environments?

No only this thread, though haven‘t opened many threads since it got back online. Though was a funny forum threads interaction, in a way.

It happened in OP too apparently. Likely some mismatched info with posts that no longer existed, I guess.

I guess I just wanted Escanor-senpai to notice me

Like I said, it depends on the variety. Some have underground runners, so even if the plant is dead it'll come back. The name "forget me not" is not an accident.

I guess having a container that's the right size for the plant, otherwise watering it might be an issue since moisture won't be absorbed. You can definitely grow lavender indoors though, just needs a sunny window.

chotto matte...

by "native" you mean they are endemic? what kind of area can they mostly grow on? coasts (as in shore/hotter areas) or highlands/mountains? I live in a coastal area

true. which variety is the most tame?

No, I just mean they seem to grow in coastal/arid places. Doesn't mean they can't grow elsewhere, just that I'm not familiar with them.

true. which variety is the most tame?

That I don't know, probably a perennial.

ah ok ok. I have two, and they are big enough

You don't want them too big, otherwise the soil remains wet

 

[Kiki]

oh..... I hope they can grow here

ah no I mean the windows

Seems like Rough horsetail and scouring rush are both Equisetum hyemale. Just that scouring rush is a subspecies. I think "horsetail bamboo" is referring to them looking like bamboo, so probably the same too. Not sure what you mean by bamboo grass though.

Ah okay thanks. I got them from googling and confused haha.

I think I will have them. mom also likes them

It's a lot like bamboo, in that it'll spread and grow very quickly. Mostly people use stuff like this to form barriers or for privacy. I wouldn't put them in the middle of a garden as they can become a nuisance.

Ornamental grass, like varieties of miscanthus are popular around here for that sort of thing too.

ah yes, I bumped into a Q&A page about it yesterday

Reining in stubborn horsetails

Yes, in their natural habitats - marshes or the sandy wet soils by streams.

putting them in a cube container can be helpful, it looks pretty too. aesthetic. do they need a lot of water? mosquitoes would be troublesome


miscanthus ka..... I will consider it..

I think your worry shouldn't be to water them, it should be whether they take all of the water from anything planted with them. But if you're putting them in a separate container maybe it won't matter.

Ah, so the vine type. Well, you can grow them in a lot of interesting places actually. Not sure the maintenance on that sort of thing though, compared to the ground.

there is non-vine type?! I thought all members of Ipomoea genus were vine

Ipomoea is only one type of morning glory. I guess it's the most popular though so it might be a bit of a moot point.

Morning glory - Wikipedia

ah right................

didnt know about it... I thought morning glory term belonged to Ipomoea genus.. turns out it's just a group of many species with different genus
