THE ROOT BALL WILL BE WRAPPED IN DAMP PAPER TOWEL AND PLASTIC WRAP FOR SHIPMENT. Hibiscus Snow Queen is included as Tropical Hibiscus. It is strong and easy to grow. It has an upright spreading habit. The Variegated Hibiscus is described as a large shrub that has red flowers with green, white, and pink leaves. These large flowers have red color and are shaped like a trumpet. From the front view, we can see that they look like stars when it comes to the shape. It has outrageously long floral tubes and yellow stamens. The flowers are full of pollen and nectar, attracting a lot of pollinators such as butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds.Hibiscus variegated Snow Queen usually grows dense and big. When they get older, the leaves tend to change color and when they are put in the place with more sun, the colors tend to be red and pink. This flower will stand out among the others with dark green or dark red with larger, bolder, and non-variegated leaves. It has green foliage with bright white, which is in contrast with the large red flowers.Scientific Name: Hibiscus rosa-sinensis “Snow Queen”Common Name: Snow Queen Chinese HibiscusPlant Type: EvergreenLeaf Type: BroadleafHardiness Zone: 9, 10, 11 (lower zones if brought indoors during cold weather)Height: 8-10 feetSpread: 5-10 feetBloom Time: Spring, summer, fallFlower Color: RedOutdoor Light: Full sun, part sun, part shade, light shadeIndoor Light: Direct sunlight, highDrainage: Well drained, moistRate of Growth: ModerateWater Requirement: MediumpH Range: Acidic, mildly acidic, neutralMaintenance Level: LowSalt Tolerance: SlightSusceptible to Insects and Diseases: NoTips to care and maintenance:Hibiscus Snow Queen should be watered at least one or two times every week. Watering is especially important for the plant that just planted or when the weather gets hot and dry. Feel the soil moisture with your fingers or chopsticks. Before watering, remember to water it near the base of the plant and not over the foliage. If you plant it in the garden, you will have to water underneath the whole canopy with about 1 inch of water. If you put it in the container, please water the plant slowly and then stop when you see the water coming out of the drainage holes.Make a schedule to feed the Hibiscus Snow Queen so that it can eat regularly. For the ones located outdoors, give them fertilizer every two weeks. As for the ones indoors, fertilizing them every month is enough. You are recommended to use all purpose and balanced fertilizer. One of the examples is the one labeled 10-10-10. Do not give the Hibiscus too much fertilizer as it might be bad for the plant. Some of the issues include insect infestations and bud drop.Inspect the plant regularly in case there is any insect, insect damage, or spot. If there is any, prune off and throw the one that is infected so that it will not spread to the other parts of the plant.For your information, the shrub needs lots of light so please give it enough light. For the one that is placed indoors, you need to put it in front of a south facing window. It is also okay to put it in another sunny area of the home as long as it is away from the place with wind and the one with heat. For the outdoors like in the garden, it is also prohibited to plant it in high wind areas. Besides, it is also needed to cut off the overgrown hedges, trees or plants that can block the sunlight. In order to bloom well, the plant should get at least four to five hours of sunlight a day.After it produces flowers, you should cut off the Hibiscus Snow Queen to make it better. It is also effective to maintain the height that is wanted. Do not forget to also cut off the tall and useless streams. If you have no idea, you can cut them about one quarter inch above an outward facing leaf node and make a clean cut at the slight inward angle. You can do it with sharp hand clippers.Before the first front in the fall comes, make sure to already rescue the Hibiscus Snow Queen by taking it indoors. Take it back outside when the spring comes and after the frost. Make a schedule and do it every day for about three or four days. Every day, you will also have to move it to a slightly brighter, shadier, cooler or warmer one. Some of the examples include a porch or under the sunlight.

50ROSA BIANCA EGGPLANTSEEDSEggplant Growing and Harvesting Guide Eggplant, also known as aubergine, is a nutrient-rich fruit that thrives in warm climates and can be a fantastic addition to any garden. This guide will cover everything you need to know about successfully growing and harvesting eggplant. Growing Eggplant 1. Choose the Right Variety There are many varieties of eggplant, including: Black Beauty: The classic variety with deep purple skin.Italian Eggplant: Larger and oval-shaped with a rich flavor.Japanese Eggplant: Slim and elongated with fewer seeds.Graffiti Eggplant: Purple and white striped variety that is visually appealing. Select a variety that suits your taste and climate. 2. Soil Preparation Soil Type: Eggplants prefer well-draining, loamy soil enriched with organic matter.pH Level: Aim for a pH of 6.0 to 7.0.Preparation: Before planting, amend the soil with compost or well-rotted manure to improve fertility. 3. Planting Timing: Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date or sow them directly in the garden once the soil temperature reaches at least 70°F (21°C).Transplanting: When seedlings are 6-8 inches tall and have at least two sets of true leaves, transplant them outdoors. Space plants 18-24 inches apart in rows that are 2-3 feet apart.Watering: Water well immediately after planting and keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. 4. Sunlight Requirements Eggplants thrive in full sun. Ensure they receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth. 5. Care and Maintenance Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry spells. Aim for 1-2 inches of water per week.Fertilizing: Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, which can promote leafy growth over fruit development.Mulching: Apply organic mulch around the plants to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.Pest Control: Watch for common pests like aphids, flea beetles, and whiteflies. Use insecticidal soap or neem oil if infestations occur.Disease Management: Ensure good air circulation around plants to prevent diseases like blight. Crop rotation can also help reduce disease risk. 6. Supporting Plants As eggplant plants grow, they may benefit from staking or caging, especially in the case of larger varieties to support the weight of the fruits. Harvesting Eggplant 1. Timing Eggplants are typically ready for harvesting about 70-80 days after transplanting, depending on the variety. Harvest when the fruits are firm, glossy, and have reached their full size. 2. Picking Technique Use sharp garden shears or scissors to cut the fruit from the plant. Take care not to damage the stem.Leave a small piece of the stem attached to the fruit, which helps prolong its shelf life. 3. Indicators of Ripeness Color: The skin should be vibrant and shiny without dull patches.Firmness: The fruit should feel firm when gently squeezed.Seeds: When cut open, the seeds should be small and shiny. If they are brown and woody, the eggplant is overripe. 4. Post-Harvest Care Store harvested eggplant in a cool, dry area. They can also be kept in the refrigerator for a week.Avoid washing eggplant until you’re ready to use it, as moisture can lead to spoilage. Conclusion Growing eggplant is rewarding and can yield a bountiful harvest with proper care and attention. Whether you are growing them for culinary uses or novelty, following this guide will help ensure you have a successful gardening experience with eggplant. Happy gardening!

Highlights: Product Type: SeedsUse: Outdoor PlantsCultivating Difficulty Degree: Very EasyFull-bloom Period: SummerType: Blooming PlantsFunction: BeautifyingSize: SmallApplicable Constellation: LibraVariety: RoseClimate: SubtropicsStyle: Annual Starting the rose seedsBefore growing the roses from seed, the seeds have to undergo a period of stratification. This is a cold moist storage that gets the seeds ready for germination.Cold TreatmentChilling your seeds in a refrigerator for about six to ten weeks encourages them to germinate faster once planted. However, you must take care to avoid keeping them cold for long as they can germinate while still in the refrigerator. Place your seeds on a paper towel before moistening them. Use half purified water and half peroxide to prevent the growth of mould. You can then place them in a plastic zippered bag, mark the date and variety before placing in a refrigerator set at 1 to 3 degrees C. The paper towel should remain moist for the entire period. You can check occasionally to see if it needs remoistening. Make sure you don’t freeze the towel.There are other ways to stratify the seeds like planting them in a tray of potting mix and refrigerating the entire tray for weeks. The tray is usually enclosed in a plastic bag to keep it moist.Planting your seedsWhen you think your seeds are ready for planting (6-10 weeks), remove the bag from the refrigerator if that was your stratification method. You will need shallow trays or small pots to plant your seeds. Whatever works between the trays and pots is fine as long they have good drainage. The ideal size of the trays or pots should be 3-4 inches deep.You can use separate trays when planting seeds from different varieties of rose hips. You must follow your labeling all the way down from harvesting, treatment, and planting. The rose bush name and planting date are some of the details to indicate on your trays or pots.Next fill your trays or pots with the potting soil. You can opt to use 50% sterile potting soil and 50% vermiculite, or half peat and half perlite. When the potting mix is ready in the trays or pots, this is the time to take off your seeds from the towel. Remember the seeds must not be removed from the plastic bag until they are ready to be planted. You lightly dust them before planting.Place your seeds about ¼ inch into the soil and dust the surface again to prevent the damp off disease that kills seeds. Water them properly and place them outside in direct sunlight. If there is frost, it is advised you place your seeds under a tree or in a sheltered part of the patio to protect them. There is no need for grow lights.Keep the soil pots or trays watered but not soggy. Do not let them dry up as this might affect the germination of your seeds.Watch for germinationAfter about six weeks, the first two seed leaves will start to emerge before the true leaves can emerge. The seedling must have three to four true leaves before they can be ready for transplanting.Planting your seedlingsWhen the seedlings are grown a few inches tall with at least three true leaves, they are ready to be transplanted. You can transplant them into a four-inch pot of your liking. You don’t have to plant all your seedlings but only the healthy ones. You can choose to monitor them on the tray and only transplant them when they have outgrown it.You must monitor the seedlings as they grow in their new pots for colour, form, bush size, branching, and disease resistance. Roses with weak, unhealthy or unattractive flowers can be discarded. It will take your new seedlings at least three years before they reach maturity and develop into a big bush. However, the first flower can be seen after one or two years.
