We're moving to a new home and I desperately want to take some of my daylillies with me. How do I go about digging them up and storing the rhizones? Do I have to keep them in dirt/pot or can I dry them out until the beds at my new home are ready? Thank you?

Please does anyone have any infomation on wintering water lillies in the house. Need to know if they need light, the depth of water in the tub, and if I can put them in an unheated garage or basement. Thank you for any help you can give me.

I have water lillies in my pond outside which has a depth of about 60cm where the lillies are. We have winters where the temperature can drop below -10c and where one can walk on the pond. The water lillies survive this (the ice and the walking!) so an unheated room shouldn't be a problem.

This answer that Frances sent in for Bushes 'in storage' might help- Ed.

Your bushes can be replanted. After digging them up put them in a larger pot that has drainage and with extra soil. Also cut them back. They will go through a big shock. Just remeber to water well and often. Plants in pots tend to dry out often than if they were in the ground. Feed them wont hurt them either. Just follow the directions and don't over fertilize.

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.

We have recently moved into a new property with a lawn which has died for no apparent reason. When we dug up some of the soil, there were many brown/tan coloured pupae and caterpillars. Could these be the cause of the grass dying ? We now have a weedy soil area instead of a lawn. What would be the recommended way to treat / kill the bugs/weeds and restore our lawn ?

It sounds like you have grubs 'yuk' we had the same experience. I heard it takes a good 5 years to kill the grubs. Soon after my husband had figured out what the problem was he was told to use a lawn ferterlizer that had a weed/'bug' killer in it. The grass did grow back fairly quickly but he fertlized the lawn quite often for a few years...(following the directions on the bag). Check out any nursery for further direction. Good luck, there is hope!

I was given an azela plant for Valentine's day. Should this be replanted outside?

Some azalea are not for planting out doors, like the ones you have probably have seen in grocery stores.They can't handle the winter tempatures. But putting it outdoors in a shady location during the warm seasons and remembering to water it often should be okay. Azalea loves water but do not let it sit in water. And they don't bloom all year through but they do stay as a nice bush. With the correct amount of light they should re-bloom for you, plant food helps during the non-blooming periods. Enjoy it's a classy plant!

I live in Northcentral Florida and I have a PeaceLilly.. a small one. When I first bought it a couple of years ago, it bloomed, now it won't bloom. The leaves are healthy... what am I doing wrong?

Try putting your peace lily near a brighter window, the light will help to produce the blooms. Please remember not to put it in direct sun, it will burn the plant. Also try fertilizing the plant with an allpurose plant food.
Thanks Frances - Ed.

My husband and 3 children bought me a Magnolia tree for mother's day one year. So we planted that srping and had very good luck with it. Just remember when planting a new tree to water it very well that first year so the roots can get established before the winter months come. Mulching is a good idea too. And please tell your wife she has very good taste, the magnolia tree is a very beautiful tree, not only for the blooms in the spring but the shape of a mature magnolia stands out on it's own.
Thanks Frances - Ed.

Hibiscus care is very easy. They like water but they do not like to sit in water. They love direct sun so putting the plant on an open deck or patio is a great idea. The blooms only last one day, after they bloom just pinch of the dead blooms to keep the plant tidy. With correct watering and light your hibiscus will bloom through out the warm season. They don't like cold temps. So bring it in before the danger of frost. Put your hibscus near a bright light window and remember to keep in moist but not soggy. Letting it dry out with cause yellowing leaves and bud abortion. And it probable won't bloom as much as it would if it was out side in warm temps. If it blooms indoor becareful the pollen dosen't stain your walls or carpet. It's a great plant to have. Reminds me of Hawaii.
Thanks Frances - Ed.

Are coffee grinds good for flowers or an kind of plants?

My Hydrangia Bush is 4 years old. It's in front of my house and is in a sunny location in the morning and afternoon and shade in the evening. The first year I planted it, it was in bloom. I pruned it in the fall. (I wasn't aware that I should not cut it back a little. Every year after that it gets buds on it and it is also very large now and the foilage on it is healthy and green. But my problem is that it never forms a full ball like flower. The buds just open and they die off. Could anyone please help me? I want to enjoy the full Blue Balls it is supposed to form. Thank You

Hydrangea
Donna from the USA asks:

I have successfully dried many hydrangeas simply by hanging them upside down in a dry room. It is best if it is also dark as they will lose less of their color that way. Also helpful is to hang them in small rather than large bunches for the least amount of deformity. Good luck.
Thanks Lynnette - Ed..

After pruning how can I plant some of the cuttings to establish new plants on gardenia and azalea's?

Rooting a gardenia cutting is very easy. Just cut off about a 6 inch piece maybe smaller and put it in a jar of water. Leave it in there until it is rooted. It doesn't take very long. When it is rooted good put it in a pot of soil. Thats all there is to it.

I just bought a new house, and there is a gorgeous gardenia bush in the front. It is HUGE though (probably 8 ft) and I absolutely HATE where it is located (right in front of the front door). But, I don't want to just dig it up because I love the bush, and it's been there for a very long time. What (if any) procedures are available for digging it out of the ground (I know someone who has the tools to do it) and replanting it somewhere else? Or is it even possible?

When are hydrangas in season in the California Central Valley?

I have a weeping cherry tree and it bloomed out really pretty this year but all at once the leaves started turning yellow and fell off. The whole top is bare.

It is about 3 or 4 years old and a very slow grower.

How do you take care of bromeliads?

Are peace lilly's poisionous to cats?

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.

It is starting to look rather"skinny". The leaves look few and far between.
I just would like some general care knowledge for outdoor Gardenias.
Do I pull the bloom when they're dead or cut them?
Do I pull the yellow leaves or let them fall on their own?
Can anyone tell me? This bush is a treasure and I don't want to lose it.

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 beautiful hydrangea plant in my backyard. I would like to dry a few blooms for an arrangement. What is the proper way to dry these blooms?

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.
