Gardening

Stepping on new grass can damage it, but it usually won't kill it. However, repeated heavy foot traffic can harm the grass and make it harder for it to grow.

Strawberries prefer full sun to produce the best fruit, but they can still grow in partial shade. However, they may produce fewer fruits and be more susceptible to diseases in shady conditions.

Rust is a fungal disease that can harm plants by weakening them and reducing their ability to grow and produce. In severe cases, rust can kill plants if left untreated.

Yes, salt and vinegar can kill grass if applied together. Salt can dehydrate and damage the grass, while vinegar can increase the acidity of the soil, making it difficult for grass to grow.

Yes, salt can effectively kill weeds between pavers by dehydrating them. However, it is important to use salt sparingly as it can also harm surrounding plants and soil if used in excess.

Sand can potentially harm grass if it is spread over the lawn in large quantities. This is because sand can prevent water and nutrients from reaching the grass roots, leading to stress and potential death of the grass.

Yes, schefflera cuttings can successfully root in water.

Seeds can germinate in cold weather, but the process may be slower compared to warmer temperatures. Some seeds require a period of cold temperatures, known as stratification, to break dormancy and germinate. However, extreme cold can inhibit germination.

Slime flux is a bacterial disease that can weaken a tree but is usually not fatal on its own. However, it can make the tree more susceptible to other diseases or pests. Proper tree care and maintenance can help manage slime flux and protect the tree's health.

Snow can actually help protect grass seed during the winter months by providing insulation and moisture, which can promote germination in the spring.

Yes, rubber tree leaves will grow back after falling off as long as the plant is healthy and receiving proper care.

Purslane is a hardy plant that can survive mild winters, but it may not survive harsh winter conditions with freezing temperatures. It is best to protect purslane during the winter by covering it or bringing it indoors if possible.

Yes, rabbits will eat corn plants.

Yes, raspberry cuttings can successfully root in water.

Red creeping thyme can potentially choke out grass in your lawn if it spreads aggressively. It is important to monitor its growth and manage it carefully to prevent it from overtaking the grass.

Yes, red creeping thyme can potentially take over grass in your garden if not properly managed. It is a vigorous ground cover that can spread quickly and outcompete grass if not contained. Regular pruning and maintenance can help prevent it from overtaking the grass.

Rolly pollies, also known as pill bugs or woodlice, typically do not harm plants in the garden. They primarily feed on decaying organic matter and are considered beneficial for soil health. However, in some cases, they may nibble on tender plant shoots or seedlings, but their impact on mature plants is minimal.

Yes, roots can grow through cardboard as it decomposes over time, allowing plants to establish themselves in the soil below.

Yes, roots can grow through peat pots as they are biodegradable and allow for root penetration.

Yes, plants can grow under fluorescent light, but they may not grow as well as they would under natural sunlight or specialized grow lights. Fluorescent lights provide some of the necessary light spectrum for plant growth, but they may not be as intense or have the full spectrum of light that plants need for optimal growth.

Yes, plants can grow with LED lights as long as the lights provide the necessary spectrum of light for photosynthesis. LED lights can be adjusted to emit specific wavelengths of light that are beneficial for plant growth, making them an effective option for indoor gardening.

Yes, poinsettias can turn red again after they have lost their color if they are exposed to the right conditions, such as being placed in a dark room for a certain amount of time each day to trigger the re-coloring process.

No, popcorn kernels will not grow if planted in soil. Popcorn kernels are a type of corn that has been dried and processed for popping, not a seed that will sprout and grow into a plant.

Yes, popcorn seeds will grow if planted in the ground, as long as they are provided with the right conditions such as adequate sunlight, water, and soil nutrients.

Yes, portulaca plants are annuals and will not come back after winter.
