Virginia Bluebells
Virginia bluebells (Mertensia virginica) is native to eastern North America. However, it’s being increasingly threatened in its original environment by both destruction of habitat and the obstruction of natural river flooding. It has nearly hollow stems, so they’re fragile and break easily. Flowers start off pink, and then gradually turn light blue.

Introduction
Are you looking for tips on caring for your plants during the upcoming summer weather? Stick around and find out more on how to protect your plants during the summer heat. As the temperatures rise across the US, it is time to get your plants ready to take on the summer heat. There are many sun-loving plants that are quite admirably adapted to the elevated temperatures and low water levels, such as succulent and cacti. However, if these plants are used to being inside, they will not be able to manage the elevated temperatures of being outside. Leafy tropical plants are very prone to heat damage and may not recover from the heat. Although your first reaction to elevated summer temperatures is to panic and run for the water hose, slow down as it might not be the best thing for your plants. Stay tuned to learn more on how to keep your plants healthy during the summer heat.
Signs of Heat Stress in Plants
In this section, we will discuss the most common signs of heat stress in your plants. Most of the stress for plants are either from too much heat or too little water. Therefore, you want to learn to recognize the signs of heat stress, which include the following:
- Wilting
- Brown or translucent leaves
- Dry soil
- Bright green foliage looking pale
- Leaves and flowers will drop off or turn yellow
- Sunburns show brown or yellow patches on the leaves and stems.
Thinking ahead of time can help you catch stress problems before they arise on your indoor plants. Following are more signs of heat stress and how you can combat them:
- Overwatering: Some plants wilt regardless of the amount of water in the soil. However, you do not want to overwater plants. Using too much water can lead to fungal diseases. Make sure you provide enough water to maintain the best soil moisture level. If you use mulch in your flower beds, make sure you have a 3-inch layer over the root zones, which insulates them from the heat.
- Leaf Drop: Many times, plants and flowers drop flowers when they are heat stressed. When this happens, be sure to check the water situation. Water the plants if needed and wait for the heat to abate.
- Flowers and Heat: There are a few plants that stop flowering during extreme heat such as peppers and tomatoes. They will simply lose their leaves, or they may not flower at all until the temperature comes down.
- Bolting: Bolting occurs when a plant prematurely grows flower stalks and produces seeds, preventing the plant from bearing a robust harvest. This is also called "running to seed" or "going to seed”.
- Blossom End Rot: During extreme heat tomatoes, peppers, squash, and cucumbers may present black spots on their bottoms. This is usually caused by a calcium deficiency by inconsistent soil moisture. So, the best thing to do for this problem is to water deeply and mulch well.
How to Protect Plants From Heat Stress
- Use a shade cloth
- Water in the mornings before hot days
- Water deeply
- Bring portable plants into shade
- Do not overwater
- Avoid pruning/removing damaged foliage
- Do not use fertilizer
- Mist indoor plants
- Promote high humidity
- Keep your plants cool
- Do not repot your plants during a heat wave
- Measure soil dryness
- Sprinkle your plants sparingly
- Potted plants dry out quicker
- Make sure to water your plants in the morning
Water is a vital requirement of all a plant’s biology. Since they are mostly water, keeping the cells hydrated is crucial to maintaining the health and growth of plants. When you water deeply, you encourage the plant to grow sturdier, larger, live longer, and deliver greater yields.

Sunflowers can be planted in containers or cultivated in the garden. They are easy to care for, and they make impressive cut flowers.
With proper care, sunflowers should last from six to twelve days.
Beans and potatoes are especially susceptible to a chemical exuded by the roots and cannot be planted near sunflowers.
The wild sunflower is native to North America, but commercialization of the plant first took place in Russia.
Silent love, admiration and loyalty
- Description
The sunflower is recognizable for its bright flower on a very tall stem. It is often grown in gardens. These flowers have been important in culture: they were worshipped by the ancient Inca people, and today, they represent eco-friendly movements. The artist Vincent Van Gogh made a famous series of paintings about sunflowers. Wild versions of the plant branch out to many flower heads, but domesticated plants typically only have one.
- Name Story
Common Sunflower:
Generally, most people think that the naming of sunflower is based on the direction of sunrise and sunset. However, this is not the case. Matured sunflower will only face the East and it will not rotate with the direction of the sun. Nevertheless, the misconception of it facing the sun has embedded deeply in people’s mind. Hence, it is called common sunflower.
- Interesting Facts
It’s generally believed that common sunflower always turn the face to the sun while the sun moves across the sky. But in fact, blooming common sunflower always face east.

How to Prevent and Control Powdery Mildew
How to Prevent and Control Powdery Mildew
Adding color is a great way to improve the visual appeal of your garden. The issue is that many novices are unaware of how to use color effectively. This article will teach you the basics of color theory 40 words）——无概要
Powdery mildew is a common fungal disease that can affect almost all plants, including vegetables, roses, trees, herbs, and flowering ornamentals.
It is one of the easiest plant diseases to identify due to its distinctive appearance and symptoms. Powdery mildew shows up as a white powdery film on the leaves and stems of your plants. It looks very similar to a dusting of flour or baby powder and may darken to a gray color over time. Lower leaves are typically affected first, but the disease can spread throughout an entire plant.
Infection rates are highest in warm climates and are increased by bouts of high humidity. The fungal spores are transferred via moisture (irrigation, rainfall, etc.) and wind. Spores move quickly from one part of the plant to another, they may fall to the soil underneath the infected plant, and they may move to neighboring plants and infect them depending upon the fungal species causing the infection.
Powdery mildew is rarely fatal itself once it infects a plant. However, since it covers the leaf surface, it may impair photosynthesis if the fungal spores become too thick. In turn, plant growth is stunted, and a lack of photosynthesis can lead to plant death if the disease is left untreated.
How to Prevent Powdery Mildew
When it comes to any fungal diseases, preventing them from occurring is much easier than treating them once an infection is noticed. Preventing powdery mildew centers around cultural practices that are easy to implement.
These prevention tips work for both inside houseplants and outdoor plants, regardless of the plant type.
- Be careful not to overwater your plants. Overwatering the soil is without a doubt the number one cause of fungal and mold growth. Keep the soil from being saturated and soggy. If the plant allows for it, let the top inch or two of the ground dry out before giving the plant water.
- Reduce humidity around indoor plants if powdery mildew has been problematic in the past. Houseplants typically suffer because the humidity is too low indoors, but In areas with extremely high humidity, such as tropical climates, high humidity is problematic. This increased moisture in the air predisposes plants to mold and mildew problems. To help prevent issues, use a small dehumidifier to reduce the relative humidity immediately around the plants.
- Give your indoor plants plenty of light. Natural sunlight is best, and windowsills are the perfect place for sun-loving plants. You can also give them supplemental light or periodically move them outside as long as you don’t allow the leaves to scorch.
- Maintain good drainage in the soil. For indoor plants, this means making sure the containers have drainage holes. For outdoor plants, you can improve the drainage of heavy soils by adding organic matter such as compost. Also, don’t let container plants sit in a saucer that holds standing water.
- Maintain good air circulation. Space plants so there is room for air to circulate between them. Constant air movement can prevent spores from settling on the leaves and helps the soil dry out more quickly. Keep plants pruned, so there is also good air movement through the foliage.
- Keep plants free of debris. Regularly inspect indoor and outdoor plants for dead leaves or branches and remove them immediately using sterilized shears or clippers. Also, gather up and remove any debris on the soil surface around plants so it can’t harbor fungal growth.
- Always check new plants for disease. Before bringing any plant into your home or garden, inspect it thoroughly for signs of powdery mildew or other fungal diseases to prevent the introduction and spreading to your existing, healthy plants.
- Use natural antifungals on plants that are prone to problems. For example, baking soda, cinnamon, and apple cider vinegar all have natural anti-fungal properties. You can sprinkle small amounts of any of the items on the soil surface around your plants to prevent powdery mildew growth. They are safe in small quantities and won’t cause any problems to the plant.
Controlling Powdery Mildew
If you notice powdery mildew symptoms on your plants, it’s essential to treat the disease quickly. This helps to minimize the effects on the affected plant and prevents spreading to neighboring plants.
- Remove all infected plant tissue using sterilized pruning shears or disinfected. Dispose of the removed plant parts in the trash; never put this material in your compost bin.
- Spray plants with a homemade bicarbonate solution (1 teaspoon baking soda per quart of water) or a sulfur-based fungicide according to its label directions. Neem oil can be added to either treatment option to increase its effectiveness.

How to Prune Clematis
How to Prune Clematis
Did you know that if you find earthworms in your garden, that your soil is healthy? Earthworms help to aerate the soil and to add valuable nutrients in the form of worm castings. These castings provide your plants with some of the essential nutrients they need.
While clematis plants are known for their stunning flowers adorning a mass of vines, they need to be regularly pruned to keep the plants from becoming a mass of tangled stems. Regularly pruning a plant manages its size and shape and also helps encourage strong vine growth and prolific flowering all along with the plant.
It’s essential, though, to prune them correctly. If pruned improperly, you could end up with a plant that stops flowering completely.
The 3 Clematis Pruning Groups
Clematis plants are classified into three different groups, depending upon when they flower and if they bloom on new growth or old vines. These characteristics determine when and how to prune your plant.
- Group 1 clematis are spring bloomers.
- Group 2 clematis are mid-season bloomers and can be repeat bloomers.
- Group 3 clematis are late summer or fall bloomers.
Group 1
Sometimes called “Group A” or “Type A,” the clematis varieties in this group tend to be larger plants that bloom very early in the season. Their early flowering means the blooms were formed the previous year. Group 1 includes the alpina, armandii, cirrhosa, macropetala, and montana.
Group 2
Also known as “Group B” or “Type B” clematis, Group 2 bloom later than Group 1 and earlier than Group 3. The first flush of flowers opens in late May or early June, with a second bloom erupting in late summer. Buds develop on a combination of old and new growth. Varieties include Nelly Moser, Lasurstern, Vyvyan Pennell, Mrs. Cholmondeley, and Duchess of Edinburgh.
Group 3
Group 3 clematis are the latest blooming varieties, flowering in late summer or early fall. They bloom on the current season’s growth and include Gipsy Queen and the smaller groups like viticellas, orientalis, tangutica, and texensis.
How to Prune Group 1
Since Group 1 clematis flower on old vines, the general rule of thumb when pruning them is to avoid pruning. Severely pruning these plants removes all of the developed buds, resulting in a plant that won’t flower.
Instead, you can trim or shape them lightly just after they finish flowering for the season. Trim back no more than one-third of the plant as they do not like severe pruning. Pruning them early in the season encourages new growth that develops buds for the following year.
How to Prune Group 2
Group 2 clematis are a cross of the other two groups. Some flower buds develop on wood from the previous year and some form on the current season’s new vine growth. A light pruning is best with this type unless the plant has grown too large for its allotted space.
Plan to prune Group 2 clematis in early spring just as active growth starts for the season. This is typically February or early March. Wait until the flower buds turn green and begin swelling, so they are easy to see.
Start at the top of each vine and work your way down. When you reach the first pair of strong, healthy buds, make a pruning cut just above them. Repeat this process for each vine on the plant.
How to Prune Group 3
Pruning Group 3 clematis varieties is the opposite of pruning the other two groups. This group thrives when pruned hard since the flower buds develop on the season’s new growth. If these plants are not pruned to remove the majority of the plant, the base develops a leggy appearance that is leafless and unattractive.
Group 3 clematis should be pruned in February if you live in Southern growing zones and early March if you live in the North. Some gardeners prune their plants – with great success – in late fall as they go dormant for the year.
If pruning in the spring, start at the bottom of each vine and work your way up from the ground. When you come to the first pair of strong, healthy buds, make a pruning cut just above them. Then repeat the process for every vine on the clematis plant.
You can lop the entire plant off about 12-15” from the ground for fall pruning.
Pruning Tips
- Wait until the second year to prune your plant so that you have a better understanding of when it blooms.
- Deadhead spent flowers immediately after they fade to promote a second flush of flowers.
- Remove any dead or damaged stems when pruning clematis vines. They can also be pruned out any time during the season to keep your plant looking neat and tidy.
- Always clean your pruning shears before and after working to prevent spreading any possible disease infections from one plant to another.
- When pruning for shape or size, periodically step back from the plant to assess your progress.
