Horticulture Career promotions?

1 Upvotes

Currently work at a small ornamental nursery as a grower. I’m wondering if anybody who has worked in the horticulture industry can speak on getting promotions. Eventually I would like to be promoted to head grower than eventually production manager. This may be a vague question that’s depends on the company and work ethic , but in your experience do horticultural companies tend to promote from within the company?

Ornamental vs cannabis career

2 Upvotes

Currently I work at a small ornamental nursery and greenhouse as a greenhouse grower, I also have a A.A.S degree in horticulture. I love my job but was wondering if I were to pursue the cannabis industry and become a cannabis cultivator instead would that be a better career path in horticulture. I’m thinking that maybe there’s more room for advancement in the cannabis industry because it usually has larger companies and more room for career growth. What’s the pros and cons of staying in ornamental plant industry vs making the switch to cannabis industry?

How do i make sure the tree will continue to grow well?

1 Upvotes

I just transported my tree to a bigger port with soil and organic compost i made myself. However, the tree root is now exposed and i have not bought more soil to cover the roots.

Will the exposed root know how to creep down into the soil with a bigger pot now?

Hope to have some advice. Thanks

The top of my young eggplant plant snapped off, and I grafted it back on. Is it supposed to wilt, or did I do something wrong?

DIY Container farm, Yes or No? what are the steps to it?

3 Upvotes

Well, I have been interested in starting my very own personal farm for a long time and I guess the lockdown has kind of pushed to certainty. So I needed help when it came to deciding on one of this idea I came across, Container farms. So there are a lot of options out there but I want to make a DIY container farm. If someone could guide me on the steps or the aspects I need to keep a close eye on for research and design purposes, it would be a great help.

How much does wheat grain have to be processed before being replanted?

1 Upvotes

Hello all, I was looking at wheat and wheatgrass recently and wondered, is one is not going to eat the wheat grain but plant it make wheatgrass, how much work does one have to do? Is it necessary to do all the threshing where the husk of the seed is removed or can it just be planted husk and all. Does husk covered seed not grow as well?

Many thanks

Grafted "Leaf" Cuttings to produce a shoot

5 Upvotes

Love gardening, but winter months where I live are a drag (cold AF). Just goofing around with a Corleus variety that's been looking pretty in the windowsill, I recently took some cuttings from her stems (ofc). But after pruning leaves to lengthen each cutting, there were a couple leaves left that were really pretty. I felt bad they'd be thrown in the trash or compost bin. So instead of tossing them, I cut each leaf's end at 45deg (ofc), just a spritz of cinammon on cut... I placed them facing each other in a typ. potting soil (added extra perlite). Much to my surprise they have grafted together to form a new Shoot! The new 'node to be' is very tiny at the moment, but if anyone wants, I'll take a pic when it's grown out more. I was stoked & thought I'd share :) Happy holidays!

Amaryllis hybernation

3 Upvotes

Hello,

I have an amaryllis plant ready for dormacy, but it suffers from a mild case of red blotch on the bulb and on the roots. I was wondering if i should dry it out and store it planted in a pot with soil, or should i cut off the roots abd store in a paper bag? I saw both methods used, but i dont know which is better considering its health concerns. What do you recommend, reddit? :#

My Lithops rock plant is becoming deflated (I thought I was to water it sparingly?!) and bright green growth is forming in the dirt it came in (the dirt is supposed to be extremely well-draining?!)

Beginner's Guide to Salacca Zalacca?

2 Upvotes

Ever since I visited Bali Indonesia, Salak (Snake Fruit) has been my favorite fruit. I've always been interested in trying my hand at growing exotic fruits, especially this one. I don't live in quite a tropical region; I'm located in the South East United States. Is this palm even possible to grow here? Could it be possible with Hydroponics or some kind of artificial environment? If so, can anyone help me get started? I'm a complete beginner, but am eager to learn.
