I have grown a nectarine plant from seed and up until a couple of days ago it was fine, now however it appears as if it is dying. all the leaves have wilted. What could possibly have caused this? It isn't overwatered (or underwatered) in my opinion, and is on a southfacing window. I have noticed sticky beads on the top leaves that look like water droplets but nothing else. I did repot it about a fortnight ago, could this be the cause. I was really proud of having grown this plant. Is there any hope for it?
The new growth on red robin plants are inclined to sag forwards and downward to the ground. My question is, should I stake them upright with bamboos before trimming the side of the hedging, or trim as they are. The only thing is if I trim as is, I will be cutting approx. 12 to 18 inches off any plants growing tip that's leaning forward and down. It is a relatively new hedge and is only 3 feet in height and I wish it to grow up to 10 feet. Also, there is a dividing blackthorn hedge directly behind it, will it hinder/impact the red robin in any way? Is it necessary for it to be removed at this stage or can this be done later?
A few years ago I set Photinia Red Robin and Pink Marble hedge mix of 2:1 respectively. Unbeknownst to me, the Red Robin is a quicker grower and has crowded out the Pink Marble and as a result there are slight gaps where the Pink Marble is.Should I leave things as they are or should I replace the Pink Marble for Red Robin in the autumn? Is there anything you could suggest to help the current issue? Also, in your opinion which is the best fertilizer to use and when. (I used well-rotted horse mature spring 2014 and it seemed fine)
