Comments (14)Do not use any 'fertilizer's' as it will likely kill the plant at this point...the plant does not need 'fertilzer' , but adequate light and moisture both ambient and as available to the roots... Morning Glories are light loving plants and will often fail to thrive if the light is not strong enough...the more direct sunlight or artificial light you can provide >the better...strong indirect light is also helpful but direct light is better..make sure the plants not dry out. The hot air from the house heat can dry out MG's alot faster than the plant can maintain hydration...forced hot air heating systems are the worst for MG's...the colder it gets outside , the more the house heater will be heating and the more hot dry air is being created inside your house, the quicker the plant will dry out as the dry air literally 'sucks' the moisture out of the plant surfaces and root medium into the heated dry air...

Comments (10)Prep the bind weeds by cutting back stems to about 8-12" (longer stems if necessary because you want stems with leaves on them, not just bare, leafless stems), from the ground where stems emerge from the ground. These cut, remaining bind weed stems emerging from the ground, if twisting around anything, especially rose canes, need to be gently unraveled and laid across the ground, directed away from the rose canes as much as possible. Use the strongest SYSTEMIC weed killer available, strong enough to kill poison ivy, but do not spray it onto the cut and 'toppled,' bind weed stems. The chance of getting spray onto the roses is too great. Pour a little weed killer into a disposable cup and very, very gently and tenderly brush it generously onto the bind weed stems and foliage lying on the ground using a 2" wide, very soft bristled paint brush. Take great care not to splash or get any weed killer onto any part of adjacent rose bushes. Do not be too rough in prepping the cut stems for their weed killer application. You want undamaged stems and leaves left on the 'to be weed killer painted sections,' so as to get good systemicc absorption to the below ground bind weed parts. The systemic action of the weed killer should kill the whole underground, regenerative parts of the bind weed. A later follow up application may be needed if new growth occurs. Follow the same procedure as before. Moses...See Morefraneli
