Other Plants

Hi,First thing is what is the name of the plant and then what is its natural growth height.By the looks of those vertical growths it seems like one that easily does 10 -20ft.Trying to keep one below 6ft will require a lot of attention to tie it in etc.Perhaps consider a type thats grows...

Hi @Victoria yes we only want ours around 3ft and I'm really lucky to have the time to maintain.

Fantastic, thank you very much! I already have two juncus effusus in the pond so that could work nicely to blend the pond and the new area together.I will get googling!

I had one appear a couple of years ago in a pot, homing a Honeysuckle plant. It has seeded and now have two plants popping up now so my question is:Can I transplant them to a pot on their own, safely? Problem is that the honeysuckle is a bit hit and miss and if it doesn`t flower this year, I...

See here for advice. Maxillaria tenifloria the coconut orchid care and propagation

We will have to wait and see.

This would be a good place to start. If you just break of a piece with 2 or 3 segments and put it in a bag with some moisture (damp vermiculite / similar) it will start spouting roots between the "joints". IME bit that break off are desperate to root ... sticking one end in a pot may be the...

No idea what you're twittering on about to be honest Anyway, i got the answer i wanted earlier. Thanks for the story. Ciao

I consider Euonymus fortunei semi-evergreen, so I reckon they will be fine. If you gently scratch away a little of the bark, close-ish to the tips, then if it is green underneath it will be fine.Even so, I'd expect them to be bigger by now ... perhaps you need to talk to them more? I tend...

@Macraignil only my thoughts here, if you like them green I'd say go for it, I honestly can't think of any problems you would have but if that happens then you could dig them up again

Thanks Perki! Well, that RHS page says they even tolerate shade, but I'm not sure if "tolerating" is the same as thriving, I would plant some in an extremely shady part of my garden next to a 6ft fence if I knew they would flower well, they would look nice with the pulmonaria which is already...

Thanks for the fuchsia advice, Ricky.My allotment is only about 300 metres from my home and I don't really have the space for a decent-sized pond in my garden. It would be smaller and not attract as much wildlife. But at the allotment I can have a larger one, it will take up about a fifth of...

Most likely it was tillandsia ionantha. I have tillandsias for 8-9 years. I just keep them in the basket and spray once a week, occasionally addding fertilizer into the water. Except for very hot summer weather, when I would spray 2-3 times a week. If you get new one, get rid of media...

Gosh, that was quick Pete. Damp paper towel was my thought too, just wanted confirmation. Thanks. xx

Move it away from the radiator, give it a bit more water and it needs strong light.

Thanks guys and gals for the replies and input.

This looks like Algal leaf spot, its common in wet years, and can be transfered to Camelias, Rhoddos and others, like what Armandii said, then add a copper drench or other drench fungicide, it it does come back or transfer to other plants, you can treat with rose clear spay, if you catch it...

Oooh brilliant, thank you for the suggestions! That would be better.I don't mind looking at the pallets but a bit of greenery that the dogs can't trample would be nice!

Thanxx to all who replied. Will repot now as it won't do any harm and will then wait till spring to carry out the other stuff.....

I tend to think the ginger should be evergreen, but if it dies back definitely ease off on the watering, it will come to no harm dry even, until the days get longer and warmer temps on the window sill.
