Comments (4)Thank you very much everyone! Pondbucket - It was a general aquatic fertilizer, not Miracle Grow or anything. They had all sorts of "specialized" fertilizers for lilies and things, this stuff [of course I can't find the box now] just said "all purpose." It's a granule, yellowish..? So not helpful, I know. Since I posted, it's starting to thrive some. Loads of roots are on the clay's surface and going through the the gravel, so I suppose that's a good sign. There's lots of new growth continuing to coming in, too. It's all concentrated lower down on the "older" stems and the "older" leaves/flowers are wilting and dying off, but the new stuff is bright green and getting some flowers. I tried to prune it a teeny bit, just to get the dead bits off, and it repaid me by having that entire stem die back. I put my shears away after that and have decided to let it do it's thing. Honestly I'm afraid I'll kill the darn thing and have to go buy another one just to have to baby it to death, too. If it starts failing again, though, I will most definitely try the mesh pot with gravel instead of dirt. It's supposedly a perennial here in Georgia, so hopefully I'll have next year to try and not kill it. :) Thanks so much!...See Moreare these sporangia?
Comments (2)Doesn't look like it. In this Pyrrosia the sporangia are around the edge, and of course, fern spores only occur on the underside of fronds. Acording to Barbara Joe H. the little hairs will fall off....See MoreQuestion about new growth...
Comments (6)Hi Don. Without seeing a picture of what you're referring to, I say give them a chance. Typically, mine look pretty "flat" after a big frost or snow. The new growth usually shoots out of the middle of the plants, so by summer I have a nice, round plant again. A few of mine die all the way back in the winter and I always wonder if they're lost come springtime. However, they usually come right back...although those type aren't as big and full for a while. Obviously, the ones that stay present over the winter get larger faster. Hope this helps....See MoreRose rosette or new growth
Comments (26)Jennifer, in your second photo, are we seeing a large stem that is somewhat flattened? If it is, there is a plant problem called "Phytoplasma" that isn't limited to roses, but occurs commonly (for example) in dandelions and the spectacular fall everlasting flowers that we call cockscombs are because that plant has a phytoplasma that makes for more 'stuff' at the top. I have has one rose develop a cane with a really severe phytoplasma exression, and it never developed other RRD symptoms. That sick cane lived (sort of) through winter, and only one side of it really lived and made leaves that following spring. The phytoplasma of rose that I had had widespread thorns and really wonky distribution of leaves. It was a once blooming climbing rose, so I don't know about bloom development, but the end of the single (CANES) cane had enough growth for three canes. So, is that large cane also flattened?...See MoreDebra (6a) West Ma.

7 years agoAsparagus ferns are interesting. They'll turn into a vine if you let them.
This one much much crazier last year. It had grown around anything it could find and it all had to be cut off when I moved it.
