Not a good time of the year to be doing this carol. Spring would have been better,but,if you need to you can cut yucca stems up into pieces, and each piece can form a new plant. Rooting them could be difficult at this time of the year though. I cut mine with a fine toothed saw, let the cut...

Very interesting. When was the last time you had -29 C. Tonight probably been snowing here today.

Thank you for your replies - i will post a picture at the weekend, this way you may recognise what it is. There are lots of different grass type plants in gardens around my parents, phormiums/cordylines/yucca/redhot pokers/pampass grass/could be any of them to me. Also, searched around her...

Nice tree. I don't think I'd have had the courage to do it

Thank you :-)

Is it a true Yucca?Dracaenas are often sold as conservatory plants and are similar in leaf shapeA yucca should stand pruning no probs...however if it a severe pruning i would cut back perhaps just over half of the protruding leaves first time, wait to make sure its not adversely affected it...

Very nice indeed

Lovely specimen @pete

Hi all, Does anyone know why my lemon plant has recently started getting small yellow spots on its leaves? If it is harmful how do I get rid of them/make sure it doesn't get any more?

Echinopsis "Shirley Pink" (Abbey Brook hybrid)

If you keep the ensetes cool but dry as suggested above they will survive but not grow which would be more beneficial because they can grow exceptionally fast, and indoors in a heated room between now and April or May, they will put out some considerable growth.. they may get too big for the...

OK, thanks for your comments, everyone - I'll reduce the layers of fleece!

I've done a lot of research about them before I bought one. It came with full growing instructions and a certificate of authenticity. We're going to grow it in a large terracotta pot.
