Mini ponds

I think I overestimate how many plants that will fit into the mini ponds I'm planning, just like I did with the raised beds. Maybe buy one bigger and hopefully everything will fit?

Borrowing this picture from ourfairfieldhomeandgarden, source here and I think it might be two colocasias, a kind of grass, some water hyacinths in here and it looks pretty darn full, and very nice. My plant list so far has a little more on it.

POND ONE: Nymphaea pygmaea rubra Canna "Durban" Colocasia "Mojito" Red root floaters Limnophilia Rotala rotundifolia

POND TWO: Nymphaea pygmaea "Helvola" Lotus (I would have to sow it so it be small) Canna "Monique" Frog bits Limnophilia Rotala rotundifolia

Seems like having a water lily and a canna in the same pond is a little much, the ones I have in mind are 90L and ca 68 cm across so they are not that big. They are cheap, there's also a 150L which is 88 cm across but it's more than three times as much so I don't know.

The colder nights mean I have to start bringing some of my guys in. Picked up my mojitos from my parents during my lunch. They’re chillin outside my job until I can take them home at 5. This ugly brick building already looks better. Wish I could keep them here if just to have some green instead of concrete.

#wishlist

[thelostgarden-blog]

First purchases 2023

Amazon lily bulbs, eucharis amazonica. I already have a few, it's my oldest houseplant but I've never figured him out (I've had him for over 20 years) and I want a new one so I can experiment and learn how to take care of him.

Tuberose, agave amica. I had some back home and they smelled so nice! I left them behind when I was forced to move as I didn't have a garden. They come from a pretty warm place so I'm thinking that I can keep them close to the patio door in the winter. It gets pretty cold there, at the moment it's... 14 C *fingers crossed*

Iris sibirica "Miss Apple", they are hardy perennials, hopefully I will find a bigger pot in the trash this year as well and I can grow it on the terrace.

Climbing lily, gloriosa superba. Mainly because I started a story when I used one as the murder weapon. I want some experience with it and I want to fix that story, it was a massive failed NaNoWriMo. I will need to give it something to climb right away.

Colocasia "Mojito", the idea is that it will be part of one of my patio ponds and that I will be able to winter store it on the windowsill. (I bought two in hopes that I can sell one on and get the costs down a little) I need to read up on these some more.

Dahlia "Café au Lait", as part of my breeding.

Dahlia "Sam Hopkins", as part of my breeding.... crap, I need to find space for these. Might need more raised beds this year...

UPDATE 9/1: I added to Canna lilies, I want them in my mini pond

summer-time plant roundup: got really into elephant ear plants this summer, probably bc I had no room for them in my old tiny apartment

my colocasia mojito was/is my project plant, she had full on aphid infestation but she's bouncing back now

Mojito “Elephant Ears” Paper Plant  by Corrie Beth Hogg

Today we’re thrilled to have Corrie Beth Hogg share a DIY project she made just for us, inspired by her new book, Handmade Houseplants: Remarkably Realistic Plants You Can Make with Paper! Take it away, Corrie! –Kelli

I love the challenge of figuring out which of my trusty art supplies will best replicate my current plant obsession, and then sorting what I’ve learned into teachable steps. Right now, I’m totally smitten with all the cultivars of Colocasia. You likely know them as “elephant ears,” and it’s a fitting name, as the leaves of these plants can get huge!

What I’ve made here is inspired by “mojito” or Colocasia esculenta, a stunning variegated variety that was only just discovered (or engineered) in 2007! I am beyond thrilled to share this tutorial with y’all … just look at this dreamboat, and all its splatter! You can make an entire plant like I have, or craft just a few leaves to place in vases or gift to friends. You can tell them to come visit, and say you’ll have a mojito waiting for them … except without the rum and mint! —Corrie Beth Hogg

SUPPLIES

PDF templates (link in Step 3)

Text-weight paper in “clover” color from Paper Source

Red, blue, and white acrylic paints (I prefer Holbein Mat Acrylics)

Two spray bottles: one for water, one for mixed paint

Containers for mixing paint

Paintbrushes in various sizes (I used a 1” flat, ¼” flat, and a small round)

Scissors, pencil, and bone folder

16-gauge straight wire and wire cutters

Aleene’s quick-dry tacky glue

Wine colored floral tape

Hot-pink gel pen

Newsprint (or other scrap paper) and paper towels

Foam, pot, and gravel of your choice

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1

Mix equal amounts of red and blue paint together to create a dark-purple color. Adding a little at a time, mix the paint with water until it is a runny consistency. Using a spray bottle filled with water, mist the paper, covering it completely but not soaking it. Quickly paint irregular areas with the watered-down paint, allowing some of the green paper to remain visible. The paint should bleed and spread over the paper. Once the paper is dry, repeat these steps on the other side.

Step 2

Fill the other spray bottle with the watered-down acrylic paint mixture. Once the paper has dried from step one, use your spray bottle to add a mist of purple spray across each sheet of paper. Once dry, repeat on the other side.

Step 3

Using the templates provided, trace and cut out the leaves. Keep the scraps … we’ll use them later.

Step 4

First, paint an elongated Y shape along the center of each leaf using slightly watered-down white paint. (You just want the paint to be translucent, feel free to test it on a scrap piece of paper). Next, using mixed purple paint (not diluted), paint irregular hard-edged shapes along each side of the leaf, painting each leaf differently. Finally, once the paint has dried, use the gel pen to add a dot of hot-pink in the vertex of the Y shape.

Step 5

Fully cover each 16-gauge wire in wine floral tape. Next, to prepare the stems intended for the largest leaves, tear a triangular shape of paper towel and wrap it snugly around the wire, a few inches from the end. Secure the paper towel in place by covering it with floral tape. It may require several applications.

Next, using white paint (not diluted), add a few vertical lines to the thicker part of the stem.

Step 6

Using the scraps you created in Step 3, cut paper strips approximately 3/4” wide by 2” long. Place a wire along the center of the leaf’s back and coat a strip with tacky glue. Cover the wire with the glue coated strip and secure it in place by running a bone folder along the contours of the wire. Repeat for all the leaves.

Once the glue has dried, carefully bend the wire stems so the leaves are pointing down. Fill your pot with foam and cover the foam with the gravel you chose. Assemble the plant by placing the larger leaves (with the thickened stems) close together in the center of the foam. Insert the smaller leaves into the foam around the larger ones, using wire cutters to cut the wire stems shorter if need be. Arrange your plant so it’s balanced but not perfectly symmetrical, and adjust the angle of the leaves to your liking.
