With the support of everyone on this site, we can put together some really badass articles on how to grow specific plants. I've posted a few myself in another forum and I'll gladly tweak/edit any submissions so others can enjoy them.
EDITED -------- PLEASE READ -------- EDITED
If you would like to submit a "How to" article on growing your favorite plant, please include as much info as possible. We'll edit it and put it into MS Word format then repost it. Please include a couple of pics if possible. The more aesthetic the photos are, the better the article will look.
Here's the list of "what to include" for those who want to submit a grow guide for their favorite plant:
1. Climate zone (zone 1, etc) 2. Is the plant an Annual, Perennial, Biennial, etc 3. Best way to start from seeds 4. Frost - will it survive a heavy/light/long frost? 5. How much shade/sun? 6. How often does it get watered? 7. How long from the time you plant the seed til its ready for (partial or full?) harvest? 8. Dormancy 9. Ideal soil mix 10. Ideal fertilizer if any 11. Container growing tips 12. Common pests and diseases to watch out for. Also any other sensitivities the plant may have. 13. Health warnings (IE: wear gloves when harvesting tobacco) 14. Ideal propagation methods 15. If indoors, what type of lighting should be used?
