Heyo! So recently we got some new plants, and thank you for the tip a while ago to re-pot my aloe, it's doing much better now, I think. The middle is still brownish red, but the rest is very strong and green, and there are still parts of it growing out of the center.
I'd post pictures but I'm on mobile, maybe when my power comes back on!
My mom bought a tropical hibiscus which I'm not sure will survive but we'll see. It seems to be doing well enough. I managed to get an english lavender and I've been told by a friend who knows more about plants that it looks very healthy. And roses have been really hard to grow for us but one of the two rose bushes my mom bought seems to be doing well too!
Questions, though. I've read that lavender wants pine needles over leaf mulch, are they significantly better? I'm also wondering how much I should be watering it, we've had a lot of storms lately but I want to stay on top of it.
Thanks for any more tips and thanks for the thread!
