Hello, I had a spider plant that was pretty much dead. After much research I decided to down size the pot, put it in my kitchen window so it would get LOTS of light (no direct) and water it sparingly as I read that they don't like too much water. I too, cut off a lot of brown leaves. Now, it has sprung right back and it is looking amazing! Be patient and it will turn around and look super healthy. So don't you worry. :)

Raspberries will try to take over your entire yard regardless of which corner you plant them in. But, they're not that hard to control, just pull up the volunteers, while wearing gloves. If these seedlings were potted, you might not have to prune them back. If they were bare-root, then pruning is a good idea. If you have bunnies, it might be wise to cage them or cover them with non-woven row cover. I had a tough time getting our raspberries established, there was a rabbit who kept eating the fresh leaves.

#1 - needs a bigger pot #2 needs much smaller pot - remember pot diameter - 1/3 of the leaves diameter #3 bad soil - probably it is your repotting - the soil on #4 and 5 looks OK. nothing really bad on ##4,5,6 - some varieties hug the pots unless supported. #4 has some mechanical damage and a bad leaf - remove it. Do you use fertilizer? Get the one that is designated for AVs and use 1/8 of a teaspoon per gallon every watering. Watering - water when the pot gets light and remove the run off in 15 min. Do not overwater #3, this is the one that can croak - it looks sad - either from repotting - or from rot from overwatering. Hard to tell. If it is rot - it is a goner, if it is stressed from repotting - it will recover. #1 brown leaves - probably needs fertilizer. I woud say - leach the soil - sometimes old soil gets salty or acid - run water through it, let it dry - and start using fertilizer - ratio above. Stop stressing - and either read whatever you can find - on this site, on AVSA site, on Rachelsreflections.org site, get a book in a library - or best of all - get yourself a buddy who can show you the ropes. Check on AVSA.org affiliate list if there is a club near you - and contact them. If there is somebody who lives near you - ask this person for help, show and tell - AV people are very generous with advice - and mostly are the nicest people of the town. Good Luck irina

The normal drill for many people is to keep them as house plants, but to put them out after they bloom in the spring and when danger of any frost is past. Potential problems may be alkaline water and alkaline soil. They need acidic conditions and very good drainage. If they are in a container, make sure it has good drainage.
