1. Hello, I live in Central Florida. I want to transplant camilia bushes, (one or two 3-4 feet high, one or two 1-2feet). All of them have new buds. Can I transplant them without harm to the bushes. Thank you
Camellias handle transplanting pretty well because they have fairly shallow growing, fibrous root systems. But no plant can easily devote energy to re-establishing its root system and blooming at the ...
2. My gladioli had a tough summer last year. They came up just fine but never really bloomed. The flowers that opened were brown and dry. I checked for pests but didn't see anything. Any ideas?
Gladiolus is commonly attacked by gladiolus thrips. The minuscule thrips are difficult to see but feed on the shoots and flowers, leaving behind silver-streaked foliage, stunted plants, and flowers th...

4. I not only need to replant but need to prune a split leaf philadendron I purchased two years ago. It's moved with me two times and I've neglected to do anything more than water it. How do I prune it back since it shoots out feelers and I want to keep it upright and not get too big for my little apartment?

5. I want to gut my tiny landscaping area infront of my town home. I love mostly green but want to use color too! I'm seeing burning bushes everywhere right now and I love them. I also really love haustus. I need tips on how to keep it simple, easy, inexpensive and also how to make it all fit together with my house (which is tan w/ burgundy shutters and door).
HI Well it's a bit difficult to do any landscaping in this format, but I recommend you go to our Plant Encyclopedia on this website and do an Advanced Search on your needs. It should give you a list ...
