for the plants that u have in pots, add a drop of dishsoap to your water before giving it to them

It keeps the soil moister for longer and doesnt hurt them!

Good for these hot summers

I agree with “me”, but watering plants in the morning is preferential to evening watering, because continuos watering at night tends to cause “mould”

here are some nice vines -

mandevillea- a great flowering vine that usually comes in pink and red. perfect for an arbor or the sunny side of a house.

bougainvillea- another great tropical flowering vine but has very sharp thorns making it great for a privacy fence where people shouldnt go.

wisteria- a nice vines for a trellis or side of th house and has very nice flowers. fully cold tollerant to -10 degrees fahrenheit, but are very strong so must be put on a very strong material.

some nice shrubs.

cannas- will be evergreen if their are no frosts. even if their is a frost it will come back up from its roots. comes in many colors, but the most outstanding is yellow and pink ramdomly grouped together. tropicanna makes a great species as well.

orange bird of paradise- unlike many birds of paradise this one needs little prunning to keep looking good, and stays small. has many orange colored flowers all year in your area.

tropical hibiscus- bradied forms are very formal looking, and the ones that arent till make amazing shrubs when in bloom. their is a variegrated form that is more like a tree and has yellow flowers. this one prefers shade, but tollerates sun as well. the best flower colors are the double flowers, the bi colored flowers, especially yellow with a dark red middle.

peace lilies are great too, but will no do well iftemps go below about 40 for long periods of time. does not like any sun and will do best in full shade. morning sun is fine, and you can expect lots of blooms from plans that recieve some morning sun.

ferns are also a great choice for shaded areas.

bromelaids- some of the most outstatnding plants you can have. these also look great when mounted on a tree, but will look just as good planted in grouping of 10 in the soil.

rubber tree- a very nice tree that has large glossy leaves. makes an nice street tree or a nice tree on your lawn as well.

royal palm- a real symbol of southern florida and although common always looks nice

cocunut- he official symbol of the carribean and will only do good in southern florida and hawaii in the united states. theydo not do good at all in california with very few survivors, and need a microclimate as well as protection from cold snaps in southern porttions of central florida. definately worth a shout in your area and shoud do good if in full sun.

veggies-
tomamtoes and peppers should do great as well as any citrus and strawberry.
some spices such as rosemary and basil will to great outside. basild can be trained into small trees, and rosemary into a dwarf shrub. you will never lose a roesma plant to cold in southern florida scince it is full tollerant of tempsas low as 5 degrees fahrenhiet and probabl as low as -5 fahrenhiet.

Yes, you can over water your flowers and they will die. The leaves will start turning yellow and then they will just die. I always feel the soil and if it is dry, then, I water them. Don’t soak them, just give them a good drink.And, never water them in the heat of the day. Always water them very early morning, or late evening.

Its not good to over water flowers because they well just end up dying.. the best thing to do is to water them until you see water coming out from the pot. this means that the roots have just enough water but not too much. i hope this helps!!!

Plumerias are a beautiful tropical and fragrant plant that will grow into a small tree in your climate, and they love heat and humidity. You can also grow them in large pots, too. In South Florida they are just about maintenance free. You can grow them easily from cuttings, and once established, they are drought-tolerant.

To learn more about them, you might consider checking out a Yahoo group, called ALOHA PLUMERIA. It is a beginner’s group, where newbies learn how to grow them from cuttings, and everyone is very friendly and helpful. I’ve posted the link below for you.

It depends on if you want annuals or perennials. Annuals on a balcony are probably your best bet. Gerbera daisy’s like the other person said are good, also impatiens are great in shade and fuchsias which are gorgeous. You can find impatiens and fuchsias in baskets at least where I live you can. All three of these flowers have wonderful colors, hope that helped. Oh, you can also buy smaller pots of these or flats and make your own arrangements in larger pots and baskets.
