Why Can My House Plants Never Survive?
Comments (18)my brother gave me his 5' umbrella plant that he kept outside for the spring, summer and part fall months to 50degree F. They don't like watering and live in part sun. When plant come in for the the winter months (below 50 degree F - no watering is needed, but only once a month. They will loose a lot of leaves inside to almost nothing but stems, but when spring comes again I put it outside and it goes crazy growing new leaves all over the place. Then you water twice a week 1 gallon in 90 degrees F weather ( remember it like the shade so I give it after noon and evening sun light ). I plant herbs in mine super big pot, the plant is now 7 ' tall see picture (don't like water no no no in house 1 quart of water so stick one of those bulbs in deep to see if bottom is dry before watering). also it's watering amount to it's size your is small less water or leave will turn spotted and just fall off to the touch, but it will do this in the winter months anyways like trees shedding leaves. If you end up with only stems don't worry in spring all will grow back. (No Watering is best). Oh you palm top like to be sprayed a lot of water on its' leaves lot lot and lots. and it a shaded plant too from sun or leaves will dry so spray. Your middle plant well ... its drying out and it will die unless watered and spry too Let the music play soft tones when your not at home and at home sometimes for them. Do you tell them you love them everyday or some days and touch them? hummmm that is why office plants grow the best, they have office music and people visit do touch and say oh nice plant just to see if it's real "o"? Oh and all plant like air moving around them, not still air so open windows or add a fan and in winter when windows are closed have a small fan....See MoreWill my roses survive the winter??
Comments (6)My heart goes out to those of you in the south and northeast who are experiencing yet again unusually severe weather conditions. This has been a tough winter up here as well. According to the US map, I am actually in zone 4 although it is shown as zone 5 in Canada. The deep snow cover probably is a blessing as everything - roses, perennials, bushes etc. - are completely blanketed. Its good to see that there are other cold weather rose growers on the forum. It gives me hope and encouragement....See MoreEnchinacea big sky Help they do not survive
Comments (6)I planted 4 that I bought on ebay last spring. They were small, about a 3 inch pot. I think they were plugs that had been potted up one size. All four bloomed last year and made it well through the winter. This year they were quite big, the largest was Sunrise. Harvest Moon, Summer Sky, and Sundown were nice sized too. All bloomed most of the summer. We have heavy clay and I always thoroughly amend the soil with compost, top soil, and peat. I would suggest planting these in the spring to give the plants time to get used to their surroundings before cold weather sets in. After reading here about all the problems that so many seemed to have, I worried that my plants might not make it through their first winter, but they came back nicely.

Comments (16)ive grown dozens of papaya to maturity. One thing i notice,is that they dont like wet feet. Even as a seedling, you have to let it dry just a bit. and they LOVE the heat. at 20C if the feet are very moist, they will just get yellow and shrivel. I would give the full sun as soon as they can take it. They should acclimate in just a few days to it. I have no problems in the summer, unless it rains every day here (in New Orleans). In the winter, even inside they dont do well. Not enough sun and heat. good luck...See Morerina_Ontario,Canada 5a
