Other Plants

Hi everyone. I have a selection of different irises in my garden which I planted 4-5 years ago. They are all in the same place, a long thin bed, and have multiplied, producing lots of large, colourful blooms. Last year and now this year again some of the buds are failing to fully open and are...

I'd leave it alone, it looks good to me. Its a plant i have always struggled with.

For instant privacy I can recommend something like this:If you don't mind having fake plastic trellis that is.But - you can take it with you if you move and you can place it where ever you like.B&Q sell them for £45 or if you are close to a Home Bargains you can pick one up for...

Only thing that crosses my mind is, as you say the compost feels dry and it dries out quickly are you giving it a thorough watering and then letting it dry out. Only in one of the pictures it looks like the roots are all at the top of the pot and maybe no going down to the bottom.

Hello @PerkiThanks, I now know what I will be doing in the MorningKevin

I don't think you can hurry up a tree fern, they grow at their own very slow pace. Sounds ideal in an humid bathroom till it gets bigger.

looks just like spurge laurel (daphne laureola) that grows on the chalk around these parts

I'm slowly working through the list, thinking which I'd like most. This time around I'll have a far better success rate, so want a good selection. That said, I'm hoping the garden centre isn't too well stocked. Thanks to suggestions from members here, I now have a list of over 40 plants to...

After the overnight snow, the croci have started to come through. Must be a couple of dozen or so. Just the yellow and cream. No purple ones as yet.

I know nothing about Orchids @Upsydaisy so all help is gratefully received

Thanks for all the warm welcomes!

Thank you!

That’s good news Thank you.
