How do I rid my flower pots of scale insects and eggs?
Comments (6)Ken's advice is good and simple. Scrub the empty container with a brush and soapy water, followed by a quick dip in a diluted bleach bath....one part household bleach to nine or ten parts water. Air dry. But all that is simply to clean and disinfect the POT. Ken is also right in that scale insects and eggs won't be found on the container just on the stems and leaves of your plants. Are you sure that you properly identified all possible problems with your plants?...See MoreI think my tomato plant has a fungus, what do I do about it?

If you have pictures of the fungus that is now on the foliage, that might be helpful in diagnosing the specific problems you're now having....See MoreThe flower on my bromeliad has turned brown. What do I do?
Comments (0)Bromeliad flowers last longer than on most plants but eventually will start turning brown. You can then cut it off with scissors or a sharp blade. That plant will not bloom again but it will send out offsets (pups) near the base of the leaves, and these may flower....See MoreMy cutting has rooted. What do I do with it? (newbie alert!)
Comments (4)In my limited experience, new leaves sprout and grow long before there are any significant roots. I'd put it in dappled shade outside but probably not repot until you can see roots growing from the bottom of the pot. I've lost many cuttings because of impatience. What soil are you growing in? I'm in your same area and have the best luck with cuttings grown in the ground over winter in a mostly shady spot but with just a little sun....See MoreJasminerose, California, USDA 9b/Sunset 18
