Sunroom Furniture georgia

I am going to be living in an apartment with a sun room for 1 year and then planning to purchase a yard (where I can move, hopefully, most of the potted plants to). So, my questions are: 1. What functional plants (for scents and cooking/herbs) would do well living in a pot for a year or more in a sunroom? 2. I would like to stay with Georgia native plants/herbs so when I transplant them to a garden, they would survive well- do you know of any? 3. Any advice for a beginner who is planting herbs in a pot and tips for when I transplant them to a garden outside?

1. Pretty much all herbs do well in pots. Some herbs are recommended to always be grown in pots, ie. mints and oregano. Try sage, pineapple sage, thymes, mints, oregano, rosemary, parsley, basil and chives to start. All will be fragrant and useful in cooking. You'll want to look into getting grow lamps or humidity trays (a tray filled with pebbles/gravel and water. The pots should sit above the water on the pebbles.) if the plants seem to be getting leggy (not enough light) or the leaves start to get dry and brittle around the edges (needs more ambient humidity). Do be careful not to overwater. Herbs don't need much water in general, and water in the pots, won't help with brittle leaves if the ambient humidity is too low. 2. can't help with this one, I'm much further north. Look up your USDA hardiness zone and see what you can plant. In Georgia, you have pretty mild winters, so even tender perenniels like rosemary and pineapple sage should do well outdoors. Remember to keep the invasive herbs, mints and oregano, even thyme, in pots. You can dig a hole and place the entire pot in there to contain the roots of these plants and make it look like they are in the ground with the others, but some pots make nice accents in any garden. 3. You generally want to transplant any plants on a cool, cloudy day, when the soil is at least 50F. Dig a hole at least 1 inch larger than the root ball and make sure that the soil line is the same (don't cover up the surface with more dirt, keep it at the same level as it was in the pot). Water well to let it all settle in. Before you transplant, take some soil samples from various places around the yard to your local extension office for testing. You'll get back a report that analyzes the soil so you can see what kinds of amendments, if any, are needed in your garden. Remember that most herbs do not need rich soil to grow well. There are many good books on the subject. I highly recommend the Bountiful Container by McGee and Stuckey. It's full of practical information on growing veggies, herbs, edible flowers and fruit in pots and also has many recipes. Look it up at the library and decide if you want to buy it after reading it for a bit.

We have a 3 gallon store-bought Peace Lily and have been keeping it in the sunroom. Had to deadhead it shortly after receiving and it's still somewhat green, but not looking great. I was wondering if it would be better to plant it outside, and if so, where? Have all areas available in the yard - full to partial sun, full to partial shade, near trees, plants, other flowers, etc. Can this grow into any type of bush or small tree? Thanks to all for any advice you can give! Oh, this is in Georgia - zone 7 if that's needed.

I im in zone 8b in Panama City florida..and it is too cold to plant our peace lillies outside here..You get colder there and for a bit longer... We have to keep ours in containers..then mulch them in the winter still in the pots and keep out of direct wind, due to wind chill factor..at the beginning of spring we deadhad all the dead stems..for the leaves have froze..then give them one shot of a high nitrogen fertilizer...to get them to shoot back up..we keep ours in mostly shade with filtered sun ...I fear they would not make it planted outside where you live..for they won't here..do not continue fertilizing..I just give them that one boost to get new foilage coming out in spring
