My Knockout Rose Bushes- Did I kill my rose bushes?
Comments (2)Right, don't fertilize until they have recovered and have put out plenty of leaves. Bloom Buster is the wrong kind of fertilizer--regular Miracle Gro or Miracle Gro for Roses is fine, or any reasonably balanced fertilizer such as 10-10-10 or 18-6-12. Watering correctly is the most important thing. Keep a 2" mulch of leaves or bark around the roses. When the soil under the mulch feels dry-ish, water thoroughly with 2-3 gallons for small plants or 5 gallons for larger, plus or minus for extremely hot or very mild, cloudy weather. Usually once a week is fine. For new plants, I divide the ration in half and water twice a week....See More'Kohout's Ice Breaker'
Comments (22)Sluice, yes styrofoam & I did overwinter in the container but in the garage. I work at a medical office and the vaccines come in these nice thick walled styrofoam boxes. I found out they were pitching them all in the trash, so I started collecting them. I think they are great for full sun placement since I don't have to worry about cooking roots. I plan to make an overwintering experiment of a number of the containers with less critical plants this winter. Something like this one I am not willing to risk till I know more about outcomes.

Comments (3)Firstly it's not a palm, not even close. It's Dracaena marginata (more closely related to asparagus than to palms). But they should put out new shoots from those stems. You need to be sure the soil drains fast and doesn't stay too soggy. Don't over water, let it dry out a bit between waterings. You can push a wooden dowel down into the soil to check how wet it is deeper down. They like a lot of light, but ease them into direct sun if they've been growing in shade. The broken off branches can be used as cuttings, they strike quite easily....See MoreI think I killed my passionfruit vine. I need help!
Comments (1)Is there any way you can post a photo or photos of the plant? Passionfruit are normally pretty crazy growers. From what I have read (and limited experience this last year) they can normally take a bit of pruning....See Moreken_adrian Adrian MI cold Z5
