WatfordFC: Rose posted a product called Neem that is safe to use.It's back a few pages.Be careful with that MiracleGro i got carried away once and burnt my plant.

Assunto: Re:
Foxy Lady: I did too with miracleGro.
I use a similar product now but very diluted every few weeks to the plants that are in pots as they dont get the natural minerals from the soil
NEEM. is by far the best all natrual product Ive ever used. kills bugs somehow by cutting off their air, doesnt harm birds or cats. I just neemed my hedge and have totally gotten rid of the red lily beetle by using it.
You can buy it at all good nuseries and online

skipinnz: not sure of the total square footage but it's pretty big.

I plan on part of it being used for a play area for the granddaughter. The other part a garden area and here is where I want some flowers/flowering plant and greens. It's very Pacific Northwestern, woodsy. I have tall trees in the yard and love the shade they bring.

They also do well in colder climates with little sunlight.

Are you looking for annuals or perennials for your shady spot?  Any type of fern would be lovely although they do not flower.
 

Spicieangel:

are you going to keep them inside or outside?  What is the climate etc? Orchids can attach themselves to driftwood but need a little special care

Anyone know what would cause leaves on geranium to red? Just started happening this week. I have them planted in two big tin watering cans.

Assunto: Re:
Foxy Lady: That was my first thought. I will do a google search and see what I can find out. They look so neat in the watering cans, I have them hanging from a cast iron plant hanger in the yard.

Rose 
Foxy this is what I found out!

--The different varieties of Pelargoniums often have very unique characteristics. The red leaves could be a response to some kind of stress like sudden change in the weather (hot days and cold nights). If the plant is otherwise healthy, there is nothing in particular to be done about it, but enjoy the show.

If so you might be able to add a lot of tropicals around them

I wonder if you could plant some orchids on your driftwood, if your winters are so mild.  You don't really plant them, more like attach them with some moss and wire or string and the roots grow into the crevases.

Assunto: Re:
WatfordFC:

I have searched google to try to find a picture of a betulia but had no luck
All I could surmise is that it is a variety of begonia....perhaps similar to a rex begonia.  Is it an indoor plant?  I know that rex begonias can be tricky as too much or too little water can kill them quickly.  Also it is suseptible to spider mite infestation.
