I've bought an angelica plant. i've had conflicting instructions on where to plant it.. tag says moist shady area and RHS book says full sun.. i have both a north and south facing wall where i could put it.
I have an eight foot high black sambucus. i wish to move it to a better position. when should i transplant it and will it affect it? i wish it to have more of a tree shape so should i prune before or after moving?
i've a large and flourishing bamboo plant in the wrong position in my garden. I want to put it into trough style planters and it should divide up into 4-6 plants. when should i divide it and what sort of compost / soil should i use in the pots that i'm putting the divided plants into?
I bought a ginger plant at Farmleight plant fair yesterday thinking i could grow it outside in my "tropical plant style" bed but have found it hard to find any information on the plant and what little i have found seems to indicate that it IS a tropical plant that likes warmth and humidity which obviously i can't provide here on the canal in Dublin i.e. windy and grey and rainy. Could you tell me please whether or not i can grow it outside? If not as i don't have a greenhouse would it be ok in a bathroom that gets a lot of light and which is centrally heated but i could keep bowls of water around and spray it regularly?? i'd be upset if i couldn't keep it as its a beautiful plant and i paid 25 euro for it!
