Azala leaves?
Azaleas are very poisonous to rabbits!!!





Stop feeding your bunny the leaves, or any other parts of the plant!
Reply:i got the plant wrong. we have a lot of bushes at my house and i heard my mom say one was an azalea bush and i thought that we were feeding my bunny azelea leaves but it turns out they weren%26#039;t azaleas. Report It

Reply:check Internet
Reply:well really i think that they are good for the bunnies but I%26#039;ll read up on it and give the answer to you
Reply:Aside from obvious toxins like insecticides, rodenticides, and cleaning supplies, be aware that common plants such as aloe, **azalea**, Calla lily, Lily of the Valley, philodendron, and assorted plant bulbs can be poisonous to rabbits.





Please do your research on if something is safe for your pets, BEFORE feeding it to them, in the future!!!!!

Is this a good prank???

One of my neighbors is a son of a b*tch and we are always messing with each other. Recently, I put some of my garbage in his kid%26#039;s playhouse and he actually had the nerve to uproot one of my new azalea bushes. I want to get him back so I think I%26#039;m going to put a rattlesnake in his mailbox. What do you think? Any better ideas? I really want to get this guy back for that azalea bush.

Is this a good prank???
a rattlesnake is good, but a cobra would be better.
Reply:I had a Friend who once scattered turnip seeds over an adversary%26#039;s grass.. the turnips kept sprouting and sprouting.. they%26#039;re hard to get out...





a snake is just plain mean and could be construed (by a prosecuting attorney) as attempted murder.. not a good plan. it could be one of his kids that goes to get the mail.. and that would be very, very bad.. I%26#039;d think he%26#039;d pull out more than just your azalea... think body parts.





time to grow up, boys.
Reply:I think a rattle snake is a bit extreme,stick a fish down the back of his heater or something like that.
Reply:How about putting an apology note in his mailbox? Still bent on revenge? Ok....try putting a %26quot;For Sale%26quot; sign in front of his house.
Reply:If the rattlesnake doesn%26#039;t fry in the heat from the sun, if he or his ,wife or heaven forbid one of his children get bitten ,you%26#039;ll go to prison for pre-meditated murder.I think I would think of something a little less drastic perhaps.
Reply:you should put a cat in his mail box not a snake. its just as funny and wont hurt him or his family members as badly
Reply:Really do you want to hurt this man for having a social disorder. I think that you have already received a lot of good advice (turnip seeds being a good non-harmful one - dandelion seeds being a good one too), but wouldn%26#039;t it be easier to make friends or at least be civil to each other? Why would you want his kids to have their play area vandalized? Have they done something to you too?
Reply:You want to go to jail, dont do it. You need to act like adults and be freinds with your neighbor. You have described a terrible act. Again dont do it, rather send him some flowers and make friends. You need friends not this petty war.

What plants grow well in acid soil as well as azaleas?

Please note this does not include roses. Most roses grow well with a soil pH of 5.5 to 7, although a pH of 6.5 is ideal. While slightly acidic soils range form pH 5.8 to 6.5 and extremely acid soils range from pH 4.0-5.0. Roses are not considered acid loving plants but they tolerate slight acidity. But plants, such as azaleas, rhododendrons, blueberries, white potatoes and conifer trees, tolerate strong acid soils and grow well at pH5.0 - 5.5.

What plants grow well in acid soil as well as azaleas?
Try rhododendrons, or we call them Rodie%26#039;s. They are very colorful, and love soil that is acidy, as I grew mine under the redwoods, and they love it. I had some red ones and purple ones, and when they flower, they are beautiful to look at.

Is there anything I can do to revive dying azaleas?

First, find out why they are dying. Poor soil, too much water, not enough water, diesease, etc. Then find the solution.

Is there anything I can do to revive dying azaleas?
azaleas need to have the tops of their roots out of the soil and exposed to light. You can add a cup full of epson salts to the ground and water it in to replace magnesium in the soil---if the leaves are getting a orange color.
Reply:Water Water and make sure they get plenty of it ...Do not cut back at this time of year

Can I plant anything in potting soil meant for azaleas and camellias.?

Will non acidic loving plants still grow o.k. in it.

Can I plant anything in potting soil meant for azaleas and camellias.?
Most non acidic plants will grow in it but they wont thrive. To get them to thrive just add a bit of LAN or agricultural lime to neutralise the soil. Be careful of too much lime.
Reply:Some may but I wouldn%26#039;t recommend it. There are so many different soils on the market and I suggest that you stick to what is needed for your specific plant. Good luck.

When is the best time of year to transplant azaleas?

winter is the best time because you want to transplant it when it is dormant to minimize transplant shock. the range is from mid fall to early spring with winter being the best time

When is the best time of year to transplant azaleas?
no problem. just make sure if you do this in winter to do it on a mild day and mulch or pine straw before the ground freezes. good luck! Report It

Reply:Spring to early summer....so now.
Reply:always after they bloom if they are already established.
Reply:I disagree with the idea of %26#039;spring%26#039; being the best time. It depends on where you live, but usually fall is best. In the spring you get a lot of top growth, but in the fall you will get root development - which is best long term for your plants.





If you are buying them purchase them while in bloom, so that you are certain of the color.

What is the best time of year to trim azaleas? When is a good time to cut back monkey grass?

Azalea branches need to be selectively pruned. Use your hand pruners. Do not take hedge clippers to them. It%26#039;s time consuming. But, you can remove the branches at their base to eliminate the stragglers and open up bushes to allow greater air circulation and sunlight into the bush. Prune after they bloom.





Monkey grass (mondo) is attractive year round and does not need mowing. Monkey grass is an evergreen grass. It is often confused with liriope. Both species need to be divided and thinned in the spring. Slip an old knife into the plant to remove sections of plant and replant them to propagate or share with friends and family. Old growth on both species can be cut back with kitchen shears, scissors, or, if aggressive, it can be mowed. But you don%26#039;t want to remove the new growth.





Some gardeners shear or mow their monkey grass in late February or early March just before the new growth appears. You want to avoid doing this too soon so that you don%26#039;t have to look at sheared monkey grass. Some people mow at the highest mower setting if the edging or bed is not too thick. Others use a string trimmer.

What is the best time of year to trim azaleas? When is a good time to cut back monkey grass?
You should have cut your monkey grass (lyriope) already but you still can if you dig with your fingers to the center of the plant to determine if this year%26#039;s growth has started. If it has, just don%26#039;t cut so short that you clip off the tips of the new leaves.





Trim azaleas just after their blooms fade. Don%26#039;t wait too long after the blooms fade or you will cut off next years flower buds.
Reply:I tip for all pruning is allways prune Dead,diseased,dying and unwanted growth.For maintenance pruning,after flowering.This applys to wall plants.
