My mom sent me a potted blue hydrangia. I keep the plant in my office at work. The first week the plant was perfect but since then the flowers have all wilted. I was wondering if the flouresent lights have anything to do with that. What is the best way to care for potted hydrangias?

Hydrangea plants love to be moist not soggy. If you see them dropping indoors water them well in a sink they do tend to come back. After you enjoy them indoors plant them outside. My Hydrangeas do the best in my shaded garden, durning the hot summer I do make a point to make sure they are watered well.

My decorative bushes are now covered with spider-like webs, now spreading to ground ivy and adjacent foliage. What to do?

The description sounds like some kind of spider mite. If that's true, and if it is possible, wipe or rub off as many leaves as possible. You can also use strong water pressure from you hose and apply a systemic. The little critters are too small to try and treat topically, and the webbing gives them some protection. The systemic will poison them whenever they take a bite of your plant.

This is an answer for Julie, who recently planted a Pee Gee Hydrangea and is having yellow leaves towards the bottom. Unfortunately the signs for too much fertilizer and not enough fertilizer are very similar. But my best guess is that you are fertilizing too much. A newly planted shrub should not be fertilized at all for at least a week. The first feeding should be half strength, and then as normal. Miracle Grow is a harsh chemical fertilizer, and in my opinion should be used lightly. Also, make sure the plant is watered thoroughly when fertilizing to insure the new roots don't get burned.

I have a Ficus Black Knight which is grown indoors, please advise on how to prune this as it is just one stem and I would like it to produce others branches. Thanks.

I prune my (indoor) Ficus as I would shrubs and trees in the garden. I have had it for 15 years and it is fabulous. Just prune out excessive or awkward branches but make sure you keep the shape you want.

I recently obtained seed pods from a Hydrangea Vine that someone was ripping down for the winter. The were taking the actual plant indoors for the winter and I am hoping to start plants from the seeds in the pods. Does anyone know how I should harvest the seeds in the pods (which are still not dry), store them and plant in the spring?

I have my peace lilly away from the sun, but the leaves turn brown and dry out. I have been told that I don't keep it wet enough and keep it completely in the shade, which I do. Yet the leaves continue to brown and dry out! What do I do wrong with this plant?

I was recently in Europe and saw a Blue Azeala. Where can this be found in the US?

As with Hydrangea, you can add acid to the ground around the Azalea to turn it blue. Miracle Grow has a fertilizer that has acid in it.

How can I dry cut hydrangias?

Pick flowers when petals begin to stiffen slightly. Place flower stems in a buck with 1 inch of water. As water evaporates and stems draw up moisture, the flowers heads will open wider and dry slow. Remove wilted foliage. For more compact dried bolssoms, hang individual flower stems upside down in a cool, dry location away from moisture and heat.

When I first bought my Peace Lily the leaves started turning black. I thought the plant was too big for the pot so I transplanted it into a much larger one. I cut off all the black leaves and some of the remaining ones are starting to turn black. (I have my plant sitting to the side of a large picture window.) What am I doing wrong? When can you tell the plant needs to be watered? In such a large pot, the surface might be dry but I am afraid to over water it. My plant only had 3 Lilies on it and they also turned black so I cut them off and I haven't had another lily bloom since. Can someone give me some advice? I would greatly appreciate it....Thank you

We are thinking of buying bats to combat our mosquito problem,can you give us any info.?

I live in the country in the north central part of Oklahoma. It is very windy out here. I would like to know what I should do this time of year to help my yard look nice come spring and next summer. I have used "weed & feed" in the spring. I still had alot of weeds. The grass I thought was the prettiest was mostly under shade trees and died off the earliest. I would like to have a nice lush green grass with less weeds next spring. Some of the grass has wide blades and is in clumps. I don't know what it is but I don't like it. Weed and feed is the only thing I've done to my yard except mow it and occasionally water it. Any suggestions would be graciously appreciated as I am a novice. Thank you?

I have two yellow lillies in one pot itransfered them into the pot, from my yard when I moved. One of them bloomed briefly and the other semmed to grow seeds that grow roots right on the plant before they fall off. Will these grow into seperate plants?

Some people asked why their blue hydrangas aren't blooming. It is possibly because they aren't getting enought sun to bloom. They need just the right amount of sun to bloom, because if they get too much where its hot the leaves will droop. So keep the roots moist in the sun. The other reason why they may not be blooming is because you're pruning them. Stop pruning! The only time you can prune a blue hydranga is within two weeks after they bloom. So if you pruned in the fall or summer or anyother time this year they will not bloom next year. So you will have to wait until they bloom again (spring 2004, I think) and prune within two weeks after blooming. The reason why this happens is because the blooms come off of the old growth and if you prune it in summer or fall you are cutting off next years blooms. Also, blue hydrangas need acidic soil to bloom blue, therefore you will have to add something like mir-acid (a miricle-gro product) or soil sulfer, or else the bloom will be a pale pink.

Black spots on hydrangas may be caused by too much water being on the leaves. If it is humid or rains a lot it could cause some sort of fungus which makes black spots. This generally happens to the older leaves toward the end of summer as the plant puts more energy into the rooting system for winter
Thanks Casie - Ed.

My roddie bloomed this summer and was just georgious;but now it is looking very sickly. I ran water on it with the hose the other day for about 1 hour. Just a gental flow.

It is planted in the north west corner. Please help.

I use miracle-gro soil for all my house plants. The other day I was caring for them and in the soil of a few of them i noticed small liquid filled yellowish beads in the soil. The sort of resemble Vitamin-E pills except much smaller. They are on the surface of the soil and also down in the soil. I pulled alot of them out. They break with any pressure and liquid comes out of them. PLEASE HELP. Are these normal? Is it a fungus? I just started to grow houseplants and have fallen in love with the ones I have and don't want to lose them.... Can anyone tell me what to do? Please. Thank you

The little yellow beads are normal in the Miracle Grow dirt. They are capsules that are released to help the plant grow. They work well, especially in house plants. So, don't worry, your plants will do great
Thanks Laura - Ed.

I bought a potted calla lilly plant have no idea how to take care of it. The leaves are starting to turn yellow, why? Can I keep it indoors?

Caring for your Calla Lily depends on where you live, or what hardiness zone you're in. the calla lily is not hardy in many zones, and will die in the winter if it isn't dug up and stored in the winter. the coolest temp it will live through is 50-55 degrees F. it should be dug when the leaves turn yellow or when foliage is damaged by frost. store the rhizome (root thing) in sphagnum peat moss or vermiculite in a cool dark place.

Thanks Casie - Ed..
