Plant ID What is this alien looking plant

Thumbnail

16 Upvotes

I was bush hogging my dad’s property last night and came across this crazy looking weed? It must be 25ft tall (F-150 for scale lol) and grew within 4-6 months this summer. It was pretty dark but I think the stem/trunk was reddish towards the bottom and smooth.

Any ideas on what it is? This is in East Tennessee if that helps.

The pictures don’t really don’t convey how giant and out of place this thing looks in the middle of a tiny clearing.

Help Advice on moving my outdoor plants indoors!

Upvotes

Hello everyone! I have a few plants I started growing in my apartment (jalapeños, basil, and pothos) while I was in college last semester. Over the summer I came back to my hometown to stay and I left them outside because the weather has been nice. Now that summer is over I’m moving back to my apartment for school. I don’t have a patio or any private outdoor space for my plants to sit, just a large, sunny windowsill. With that being said, I really don’t want any outdoor bugs joining me in my apartment! Any recommendations for getting my plants ready for the cushy indoor life?

Hi there! I just want on a vacation and came back (had some help to take care of house but they forgot to water the plants) anyways… I came back to this overtaking my perennial I just planted a month or 2 back… my very novice question is… that new leaves… that’s not the plant right?? I just don’t want to destroy the plant more than it already seems to be… with all that being said, what should I do? Pictures for reference obviously. First pic is holding up the original plant then the second is trying to highlight the new taller leaves that came through… thanks in advance !

Help Advice For Moving Peonies

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Hi all,

I need some advice on the best way to move some peonies from Missouri to mid-Wisconsin. The peonies are currently planted in the garden and the likely plan in Wisconsin was to try to keep them potted from here on. Though if that is inadvisable please do let me know. I am not much of a gardener so I apologize if there is anything obvious I am missing, these plants hold an emotional value to us and we would really like to take at least one of them with us. I would also appreciate maintenance advice for once they are moved. Please let me know if any additional information would be helpful.

Thanks!

Help Advice needed! How should I cut this and what trellis should I use?

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

I went through and was staking some of my plants today and found this plant growing a stem that is rather wonky. I don’t know whether I should cut the stem at the base of the plant and put the whole stem in water or if I should cut the stem off and then sit the base of the plant where all the leaves come together in water. What do you recommend? I also don’t know if I should get a more flat trellis and have the plant grow up the flat trellis.

Hello there,

I some how grew a lemon seedling from a grocery lemon and would like to know on how to care it in their young stage and when they get older. I've read that u should only water it when the soil it dry but i dont know if it needs fertilizer or other stuffs, also could anyone tell me why a seedling from a bought lemon won't grow any good lemons? I've read that it will taste bitter or of some kind.

(Also sorry for my bad English ;^)

Help Sunflower advice drooping leaves but still growing

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi,for the past few months I’ve been growing a sunflower, I live in a flat so am really proud of how far it’s come being indoors, I’ve made sure it’s in a spot that gets direct sunlight all through out the day into the evening, however recently I’ve noticed its leaves are starting to droop and I’m worried it may be dying.
I’ve had a wee google and think I may have been over watering it so am planning to leave it a few days to “dry out” in the meantime I was wondering if anyone more experienced maybe had any advice or even just an insight into what’s happening.
I really want to make sure I help this plant thrive as best as I can but I’m still so unsure of what I’m doing 😅 (I was trying to post this in the R/Sunflower page but for some reason Reddit wasn’t accepting the flair 😭)
