Decorative cascading plant for hanging pot

Tomato? Una That is a very creative idea, as long as the birds don't develop a taste for tomatoes. It would only have a couple of quarts (litres) of soil to grow in though. A very intriguing idea.

Oh well I just love the combination of flowers and folliage, colour and form. Maybe if you have a hothouse. David I'm in a USDA Hardiness Zone: 9 The Clerodendrum thomsoniae, USDA Hardiness Zone: 10 to 11 Nice plant but it is a climber, not a cascader. Thanks. I have grown it as a cascader in a hanging basket where it grew well and looked great, it had multiple growing points and hung down all around about 60cm (2 ft in primitive measure) or more. David |

I just tink it would be more convenient. -- http://www.democracynow.org/2010/4/6...e_us_military/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Arn3lF5XSUg http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Zinn/HZinn_page.html |

David It's a beautiful plant, but it would have to come in during the winter, and after Feb.,it would be competing for the grow lights. -- http://www.democracynow.org/2010/4/6...e_us_military/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Arn3lF5XSUg http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Zinn/HZinn_page.html |

The Active ingredient in it is iron (ferric) phosphate. Home despot has their own version too, but they all seem to be about the same price. Non-toxic to kids and pets (unless you have a pet slug;O). - Billy Yes. Thanks Billy. In fact I do use Sluggo, but I am all out of it and as it's pretty expensive was hoping not to buy any this spring, and make it to the time of great heat when s&s go to sleep. Em |
