I live in South Carolina,and was wondering when is the best time to repot a boston fern.For the past week or so we have had heat index of 105 to 120 degrees. I moved my ferns to the back of the house to get morning sun instead of the evening however some of the leaves did turn brown but the fern is ok but I have some roots coming out of the bottom of the pot should i consider repotting ? If so what is the best potting soil to use? Should i break the plant apart to make more plants? This is the very first year i have been able to keep a fern without killing it therefore I'm proud of my ferns. So any advice on the winter care and transplanting would be great. thank you

We have a few abyssinian banana palm's that have flowered and have also been hit by some strong winds. They aren't looking very good - we have been told they die after they flower. Is this true?

How can we save them?

Ok here is the deal, Japanses beetles keep eating my morning glory leaves, and the leaves are huge, they cover up most of my flowers. I was wondering what would happen if I cut the leaves off, or just the biggest ones, would it look better, or akeward? And would it be ok for the plant??? Star me so others can see please!!

I planted a row of 10 Canadian Hemlocks (Tsuga Canadensis) this past late April. I am in Tennessee where the temperatures have been records this past week getting up to 106 degrees today. I have been holding the hose over around the bottom of each full flow for 120 seconds each every other day. This afternoon they really started to look faded and some of the needles on the outside were brown, but not many. they , to me , look like they were thirsty, but i also know it maybe the opposite in fact , since they were planted in clay soil but i did mix nice topsoil and peatmoss with it, but they still have they clay at the very bottom. The faded needles are on the outside only , inside they are still very green.

Just what is your opinion?

Lack of water or beginnings of root rot?

would the fading begin on the inside if it was the making of root rot?

Also , forgot to add that we have had this extreme heat for over a week, been dry

why?

Thanks very much for your answer!
