Other Plants

A lot bigger than mine and no slug damage , looks great.

Dracaena marginata not Cordyline.

Thanks, Nigel. I will do that (still some first flush flowers on it). If I see any aphids I will nuke them.

I have grown them very successfully here in Scotland. A good few years back now. I think I bought the plants from B&Q or Homebase.

Thanks @pete! Yeah, having awful problems with blackfly and greenfly this year so might well be honeydew. Ladybirds are gradually coming in to sort the issue out now, so I should see less and less of it, I suppose. I quite like the caterpillars and with 5 buddleias to potentially strip I think...

Assuming you mean you put them outdoors during the day, were they in full sun. It looks as pete said to me.

He is a bit anal and generally against putting anything on. On a different section of wall there is already a form of virgin creeper that has very sparse leaves. I think maybe to try that. Or grow an ivy and them deliberately kill it and grow the passionflower on the remains.

Thank you pete, This has now given me a chance to find out more about them. On looking Oxalis up, I found mine called the Oxalis Regnelli Bulb, pink with shamrock leave.My garden really does look great when the poppies are in flower as they all seem to like a dry gritty area.

It looks like one stem has not rooted and has been slowly rotting instead.Put the others, with roots, back in some fresh compost and discard the rotten one.

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.

I don't need the space, maybe I'll give it a chance yet!

In my experience peace lily and pothos seem to do well in low light Oh and snake plants

Well its up to you ricky if you don't like them get rid , its likely the supplier didn't know what colour they were going to be. I potted one on yesterday called sweet Katie its got yellow foliage with blue flowers.

My S confertiflora stayed outside all winter in the ground. Still has foliage although, like the S guaranitica, this is rather yellow. The S involuctra lost it's foliage and is just shooting. I did take cuttings of these and Amistad. S guaranitica has had flowers on it except for February and is...

Thank you JWK. I will see how they get on. I gave some plants to a friend for her 4 year old daughter, she sent me a photo of them and they are doing great! I put the 2 biggest droopy plants in the heated propagator overnight and they have perked up. Your advice is much appreciated, thank you...

Also look for anything that looks like a small spiders web, a very common house plant pest is Red Spider Mite, you usually need a magnifier to see them but become just visible when they start making a web and are in plague numbers.For watering in Winter, wait until you see the leaves just...
