Winter Time! Question for Mitzi
#9
That is a good question... I was recently reading up about how it's best to try air layering at the onset of the rainy season. I'd say that shade loving, forest plants would be happy planted now. Some that come to mind include bacopa ('ae'ae) the peperomias ('ala'ala wai nui), clermontias ('oha wai) and most all the native ferns. I think most windward-side native trees will be happy too. The only things I've had poor luck trying to establish in rainy times are succulents, coastal plants, and herbs that like drier climates like thyme, tarragon and sages. And, of course, good drainage is pretty much key for most all of our native plants. A few others I'd try to put out in drier weather might include wikstroemia ('akia), osteomeles('ulei) and abutilion (ko'oloa'ula). I keep my seed starts out of the rain too. Happy rain!

Aloha,
Mitzi
