Comments (3)They are being kept too wet, causing 'damping off', which kills the plant. You need to water from the bottom, ie set the pot in a saucer, fill the saucer with water, let sit for 15 minutes and then dump off the unused water. Allow to dry out a day or two before watering again - sometimes, it's a week between waterings. Your soil should have some grit mixed into it, in the form of sand or perilite - this will allow the new roots to dry out and allow oxygen to reach them. You have to check them every day to see what they need - they're like babies - need constant attention. I believe it's worth every penny to buy already-established plants....See Moredie fungus gnat die-die-die!!!
Comments (14)Re: hemnancy I think I also got infested from a plant that came from outside. I wanted to see if I could get pomegranate to grow from seed off of a store bought pomegranate back in November. I also tossed in a Brandywine seed or two from a seed packet that I purchased at the grocery store at the same time (November). Three poms and one BW sprouted. So far, I've been able to keep all the plants alive all winter by bringing them into the garage on cold nights and letting them out in sun during days above 40 degrees. The BW is a short, stubby plant that I've become attached to and I really want the poms as the plants cost at least $40 at the nurseries that I've been able to find them at. Anyway, sometime last fall, the pot that all these plants sit in became infested and that infestation has spread to my Jiffy peat pellets and a couple of seed trays. Re: ekgrows I bought a can of flying insect killer. It's not as organic as your method, but if become a problem, it is an option to me. Also, I've purchased the mosquito dunks and put a chunk of one in a spray bottle and wet down all my pellets with it. I know that it's too soon to tell if it is working, but since last night, I've seen one gnat that I smashed with my finger. I plan on starting to move the peat pellets to peat pots now that I have a method of control. I plan on spraying the inside of the pots using the spray bottle, spray down the potting mix that I'll use and cover the entire thing with sand. I'm thinking that this one-two-punch approach should be effective. I'll let you guys know how it works out....See MoreDo all microwaves open the same direction?

Comments (8)Joshua, I'd like to answer your question directly: yes, trees can die suddenly. They can also die very soon after being planted too deeply. I'd have to say that it is the number one reason for decline and death in trees, at least in my career. Some years ago, I was called out to the large property of a high end retail complex, not a mall. The tree and landscaping installations were extensive, even extraordinary. I was called by the CEO to inspect the site about two months after completion of the job. The majority of the large trees were in serious trouble....after two months! The plants had all been planted anywhere from 6 to 8 inches below grade into a soil that stayed too mucky, too wet....especially at that depth. Tree roots must have oxygen at that shallow root zone...or they can die. Most of us know that the essential absorbing roots of trees are shallow. Planting too deeply impedes the development of new roots. So, the decline process can begin immediately and end swiftly......or a tree can languish for years before finally croaking. Trees that have been installed that deeply have been planted improperly, plain and simple....See Morebluekitobsessed
