Other Plants

I would leave well alone. Take a chance and try to 'do better' next year. The trailing ones will probably get eaten by slugs first. I gave up growing them long ago because they do not stay in flower for very long.

Thanks for all the tips - Too difficult to dig up most of the plabts as they’ve been established a long time - so might just live with it !

I always do cuttings of V.bon @Escarpment , to ensure I have new plants. They often don't make it through winter here, so it's the most reliable way to keep them going, although the changing climate means I've been getting some managing to survive if they're up against the house wall or similar....

The Spartina is a coastal grass @CostasK so it copes with drought as well as lots of water. Mine is in a bottomless bucket/pot of some kind - can't remember exactly. I have a flag Iris in a bottomless pot too, next to it, and that stops it from trying it's usual takeover bid.

Will repotting this Calathea help it to recover, I think it's been watered too much ... And should I do it now or wait until the spring ?

Thank you, very useful info. I'll get it planted out ASAP

Thank you @longk @simone_in_wiltshire and @pete for all your help with this

That's why it doesn't survive here @Liriodendron - for either situation!It'll just be the flowers changing as they fade and die off then

That's great @Sydney Carton. It's a tough plant, so it may not have affected them too much if they were a bit deeper than is ideal, but I just thought I'd ask! Keep us updated, and add more photos, if you're concerned, or need any other help in future. Fingers crossed they'll be fine

Hiyou can soak rice overnight and use that to water your orchids , and then you can cook the rice to eat , win win
