DIY Garden Markers This year I’m planting my herbs in the sunniest corner of our yard, so hopefully they won’t turn yellow and die again. Third time’s the charm, right? I don’t really need herb markers (I mean, it’s pretty easily to tell the difference between basil and rosemary), but they are so darn cute that I decided to make myself a set with my old stash of polymer clay and rubber stamps. This is what you need to make your own: oven bake-able polymer clay rolled into 1.25″ balls (one ball for each marker) appropriate baking dish (according to package instructions) a rolling pin a butter knife rubber letter stamps an oven Roll each clay ball into a coil about 5.5″ long. Use the dull side of your knife to trim one end into a point (the dull side won’t leave behind serrated marks), and shape the edges of each marker with the flat side of your knife. Stamp your garden markers, and bake them according to the clay package instructions.

Top of page Copyright Notice | Home | Search | Containers plantation et culture des plantes grasses Plantes grasses et succulentes: quelle est la différence? Il n'y a pas de difference entre une plante grasse et une succulente. Ce sont deux formules pour désigner la meme chose. Les deux mots désignent les plantes qui ont la capacité de stocker de l'eau (donc de la sève) dans leurs feuilles ou dans leurs tiges. Achats de plantes grasses dans les grandes jardineries: La majorité des plantes grasses de jardinerie ont été élevées sous serre ou sous abri de verre. Arrosage des plantes grasses (en général): Les plantes grasses sont souvent originaires de pays où il fait chaud, où il ne pleut pas très souvent et où la terre n'est pas souvent très riche. Bouturage des plantes grasses: (VIDEO) Bouturer une plante grasse, c'est planter un bout de tige directement en terre. Bouturage des ficoides (simple et facile): Comment bouturer des ficoides: couper des tiges de ficoides, et les laisser une petite semaine en plein air, pour que la cicatrisation de la tige soit effectuée.

Un monde de piqués ! Plusieurs modes de reproduction peuvent être envisagés pour vos plantes grasses. Nous allons les aborder ici, du plus simple au plus complexe. Mais rassurez vous, rien n'est vraiment insurmontable si l'on y consacre un peu de temps ! I - LE BOUTURAGE (difficulté : très facile) Très simple à effectuer, sur la grande majorité des succulentes. La période la plus propice est le printemps ou le début de l'été. Cette méthode est très utile pour obtenir de nouveaux plants, mais devra être effectuée relativement régulièrement si vous voulez avoir des spécimens de taille correcte, car on va repartir à chaque fois de zéro, donc il faut laisser le temps à la plante de se développer. II - LA DIVISION OU LE PRELEVEMENT DES REJETS (difficulté : facile) En particulier sur les Aloe, Echinopsis... III - LES SEMIS (difficulté : amateur éclairé) Lorsque les plantes ont germé, et qu'elles ont une taille suffisante, replantez les en faisant attention aux racines, très fragiles.
