How do I take care of my water plants this winter?
Comments (3)Yes, we need to know what types of plants you have in order to help.:) I have overwintered a whiskey barrel in the past. I cut the hardy plants back and dropped them in the bottom. Get yourself a completely submersible titanium aquarium heater (don't use the glass ones!) rated for the number of gallons of the barrel. Stick it in the barrel and plug it in. It will keep the barrel from freezing. It won't heat it up warm but it will keep it warm enough to prevent freezing....See MoreHow to take care of my palm?Is in danger
Comments (2)Looks pretty healthy to me. Brown leaf tips can be a sign of low humidity, but also could relate to other culture problems. Having older leaves turning yellow from time to time is normal. Frequency of watering per week is not a good measure of sufficiency (or overwatering). Make sure the pot isn't sitting in water and that the soil a few inches down isn't staying soggy between waterings. Too much water or fertilizer or too small a pot could be a problem. These palms like at least a bright location, preferably at least a few hours of sun a day (moving them suddenly into full sun could cause leaf burning). Good luck....See MoreHow to take care and keep my azalea flowering
Comments (10)Keep it well drained. I notice you have the flower pot in another pot. Make sure the flower pot has a hole in the bottom and that it is open. Then put some gravel under the flower pot so that water that comes out of the flower pot flows clear of the hole in the bottom. The hole in the bottom of the flower pot must me kept open to air. It looks like it could be repotted into a wider shallow pot (azalea pot). If you do repot, make sure you use azalea soil. It is acidic. If you can't get acidic soil, use a good garden soil and add powdered sulfur. For a liter of garden soil with a pH of 7.5 you would use 140 grams of sulfur to adjust the pH to 5.5 which is ideal for azaleas. (That would be 4.5 ounces of sulfur per quart of garden soil) The link at the bottom is an excellent description of how to keep florist azaleas alive.

Comments (11)Who laid your sod? All those seams from the sod should not be lined up and should have been laid in a brick pattern. It's not a huge mistake, but the reason you lay it in a brick pattern is to keep the sod pieces from shifting. I would not apply any weed n feed products or pre emergents until your sod has rooted together and you can no longer see the seams in the lawn. Once you start seeing the lawn green up start watering it to keep the soil underneath moist and then you can apply a starter fertilizer or a balanced fertilizer like 10-10-10. You are better off spot spraying the weeds over using a weed n feed product. The weed n feed product don't usually work all that well and cost a lot more. Just be sure not to spray weeds when the temps are over 85F as it may harm your lawn. Once all the seams are gone you can start using the Scott's Turf Builder for the rest of the season. You want to apply 1 lb of Nitrogen every 4-6 weeks, this will help keep the grass healthy and choke out a lot of the weeds....See Moremksmth zone 7a Tulsa Oklahoma
