This is a newer border i started. All the ferns were transplanted from an area where they grow wild. They love full sun. I also added some sunpatients and lemon grass.
Watering
I get really stressed out while traveling and worry about my plants getting enough water. These spikes are great for using large bottles to water while you're gone

Weeds
Who doesn't hate weeds? I struggle with them in Florida but it has gotten better over time. I stopped using harmful products such as Roundup and started making my own weed killer. I was very skeptical at first but it's been working very well.
I actually repurposed the large Roundup bottle and mix the following:
1 gal vinegar
2 c salt
1/4 c dawn
Mix vinegar and salt, shake well and let sit for an hour.
Add dawn and shake lightly
Poinsettas
I've always loved these but never was successful keeping them alive until i moved to Florida. I found the perfect shady spot for them. The taller one i have had for 3 years. the little one I just added.
Indoor Plants
Another thing i never was successful with was indoor plants. I finally found some I can't kill. Only require water once a week. My Christmas Cactus is 3 years old and My Money Tree is 3 months old.
Propagations
I tried propagating for the first time using Spider Plants. I think it's going great so far!
I've also been able to propagate succulents and have even grown an air plant in here!
Pineapples
I started growing these by Chopping off the top of a pineapple and planting it. They do great as long as critters don't come steal them! This is my third year I have had little pineapples grow!
