What plant is this? |
 |
|
1 |
|
Trying to identify this house plant. It has velvety leaves that are dark green & purple around the edges. The flowers are very small white pom pom shaped flowers. The leaves are fuzzy. Any clue what this is & if so I need care instructions because this one isn't doing so good.

care of impala lilies |

Hi, I see that you are very knowledgable about impala lilies. I have been growing them from seed and some plants are now about 30 cm tall. Some of the leaves are going brown and dry on the very tips. Does that mean that its now getting enough water, or is it overwatering? I try not to overwater because I know that they rot. My gut feeling tells me that no enough water is getting to the root??? Is my theory correct?
Kind regards
Athene

On the following page (the only one I have looked at on your site) you have pictures of three different plants, all labelled 'Common Sow Thistle'. See

What are your qualifications?

How do I winter over a geranium? I have a potted plant outside which I could bring in but I don't know if it is better to leave it out and cut it back. Please advise.

dont know where you live,but when i lived in southern pa, we had to dig them up and put in a pot and take in the house.some flowers we would cover with a heavy layer of leaves and they would winter very well |

I found these in a garden at work in Miami, FL. They start off white and the size of a golf balls with a soccer ball pattern. Then open to a red honeycomb with brown/black mucus inside each honey comb. Just wondering what they are. I'm not sure how to add the pictures I took.

My cantaloupe has dark spots, raised bumps, and discoloration on it's leaves, as seen here: http://s1110.photobucket.com/albums/h445/NoviLunar/Plants/?action=view¤t=Pointingitout2.jpg
Would would cause these symptoms?

Also, I think this is a different issue then the ones I mentioned in my previous questions about my cantaloupe, so I'm not trying to spam. Sorry if I am.

What would cause a home-grown cantaloupe to be completely or almost empty inside?
The cantaloupe I'm talking about also has mold on it, if that helps.

Maybe you should go back to have them pull them out? Raw potatoes help get splinters out. You cut one and hold it at the site of the splinter. I don't know if it works on thorns though, and I think it would be better to go back to the doctor. |
|

From which seeds did you get these thorns? |

Can you help me figure out whats wrong with my cantaloupe?
Google didn't really help me figure this out: http://s1110.photobucket.com/albums/h445/NoviLunar/Plants/
The larger one looks to me like it also has some kind of fungus/disease and both look like something tried to bite/burrow into them, but I don't know.
I've had other fruits with damage like this (I've lost at least 4 fruit in total), but they were covered in nylon and there was no holes in the nylon. I cut two of them open looking for bugs but found none in them and there was no bugs in the nylon.
I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I didn't know the big one was out there till today so it's been sitting unprotected on the ground for at least a few weeks.
There are cucumber beetles out there. I've seen less of them since I've sprayed homemade insecticidal soap but there's still some.
Also, we have squirrels, possums and occasionally rabbits, but I have never seen them mess with the cantaloupe, and since there was no holes in the nylon that covered the other melons I don't know how they could've done anything to them.
I don't know if this is related, but I've also noticed leaves with brown spots with yellow borders:

And issues with the nearby bush beans:

http://s1110.photobucket.com/albums/h445/NoviLunar/Plants/?action=view¤t=Bush_bean_7033.jpg
Despite these issues, the cantaloupe plant as a whole looks great. It grew very large and made a bunch of flowers.
I can take more pictures and video. Any help would really be appreciated.

Elephant ears - to be or not to be |

When preparing my elephant ears for winter storage, I found that one varity had only half of the bulb left and the other one (Mjito) was just a big clump of roots. I could'nt find the actual bulb at all. Is this normal? Will my plants survive? If not what can I do next time to prevent this from happening again?

There is really no safe way to get rid of the fungus, without hurting the soil for a few years. Stinkhorns aren't harmful, and they only last for a few days usually. |

Appears to be a white growth about the size of a softball about chest high on a ponderosa pine tree. The outside of the growth is smooth (no tentacles) and 'touchable' - feels like a marshmallow. The tree appears healthy otherwise, I assume it's a fungus of some type - any ideas?

All dicots start with two little round leaves. If you can take a close-up of the plants, I will do my best to identify it for you. |

My black eyed susan's were coming up fine then all of sudden the leaves starting getting clumps of black spots on them and with a reddish orange bump in the center of the black spots. I don't see any bugs on the leaves, and the flowers are getting ready to open. Could this be a fungus? any idea on what we can use to get rid of it? thanks Kathy Snell

That is most likely a fungus. I would try to keep the area a littler drier, then possible spray some fungicide on it. |
