My Trachycarpus fortunei died in winter of 2010/11. This month I have discovered new leaves growing around the butt of the old truck. It looks like 4 individual new plants are growing from the old root system. Can I separate and transplant these new trachy? If so when n how is best method. Would not like to lose these precious new gifts.
I was at a wedding on Saturday ( three days ago) I was given a little rose to wear on a suit. I was wondering could I propagate this rose into a new plant? I have had it soaking in water for couple of days, thinking it might grow new roots. Is it possible to grow it?
I planted winter pansies, violas and mini cyclamen and cyclamen in my window boxes in late September. The compost is very wet and cyclamen may be rotting. Have deadheaded but little further flowering. Do I need to dry out window boxes and if so how? Also, should I fertilise to encourage growth and if so, what type of product - dry product?
I seem to have all sorts of weird goings on at my place, here is another, i presume some type of mushroom, at first i though they were crow feathers but no, it's the black ones rather than the cream mushrooms behind.
I have the attached in gravel/ stones, all over the place, looks like seaweed but i live in the country and miles away from the sea. Its slimy and very slippy if walked upon.
We back onto a house which has Leylandii planted and which have grown very high and overhang into our garden. I can't cut them back to the party wall as the foliage is brown so am wondering what can I do to prevent them continuing to grow and overhang the shared wall as we are losing significant amount of space in our already small garden. Would erecting a trellis stop them from breaking through?
