If it matters I have a meyers lemon tree that's only about a few years old-- it's finally starting to cool down here. I've been seeing mixed numbers on what temperature they can handle, though
Some leaves are green and smelly but then eventually turns brown and the stem is brown in most Places also?
Hello.sorry for my English ,Greek here.For years we had left from our country house and I’m starting to take care of our gardens .

I purchased a pepper plant and the nursery and it said they were poblano. We had a few early in the season and they weren’t poblano nor did they have much spice. Any idea what they are? (Had to pick these due to frost)
Hello! First time gardener.
Over the past few days, we've experienced heavy rains and high humidity. Today, I noticed these mushroom-like growths in my Jasmine plant's soil. Are they harmful for the plant?
Also there are some small snails (I do not remove them; they're mostly harmless and only eat dead leaves).
Thanks in advance.
Hi everyone
My poor potted Murraya has been struggling for a while now. It's still growing well but the leaves are doing some very odd things:
Yellowing leaves
Stunted new growth
Leaf deformities
It's in a pot, gets lots of sun and water, and we use water from a well point. Does this look like a nutritional issue perhaps? Or herbicide damage? (We don't use pesticides though.)
I have noticed that for the last while, our well point water is staining the pots and walls orange so not sure if there's a high iron level and that could play a role.
Looking for trellis suggestions to support pink jasmine to climb around the fence/door in all directions. Leaning towards going with a classic metal wire grid style. Would galvanized cattle fence panel work or any better suggestions? TIA.
Good morning everyone, so recently I was given a ficus benjamin who is several years old, often especially in summer he lived outside. I've had it for about a month, but in the house.
Well, a few days ago it started to lose leaves, even the green ones, in an important way. Today I noticed that it also leaks drops of "water" from the twigs.
I don't think I've wet excessively, I tried to insert a sprig all the way through but it doesn't come out damp. Even the first 3/4cm are dry.
Could it be a light problem? I have now put it next to a window (no direct light). I know that in autumn they tend to lose leaves, but in two days a lot of them have fallen out.
Hi!
I've recently moved to Barcelona and have started enjoying caring for plants I wasn’t very familiar with before, at least not as commercial plants. One of them is heather (Calluna vulgaris). In the photo, you can see a dry Erica in the foreground, and behind it, there's a beautiful, green Calluna.
I'm here seeking advice from experienced gardeners, as several of my plants have withered. I suspect it might be because they were root-bound when I bought them, and I should have transplanted them sooner. However, I have some doubts, which is why I’m reaching out.
Has anyone grown Calluna on a balcony? Do they really function as perennials, or do they only last one season? I checked the producer’s website (Beauty Seasons) and learned that they are acid-loving plants and that watering should be adjusted depending on the plant’s age. But I suspect there’s another “trick” I haven’t discovered yet.
Thank you very much in advance, and I look forward to hearing your advice!
Kind regards,
Mariana
I’m growing butternut squash for the first time. Now the first frost just came about, and the vines are dying. But the problem is that my squash is still not yellow colour, just green. They are absolutely massive aswell. Why have they not turned yellow? I’m going to harvest them anyways now.
Will be our first year bringing in some of our vegetable plants to see if we can keep them going through winter. They’ll be setup on wire shelves with grow lights on a timer.
Only problem is we will be traveling for two weeks over the holidays. So wondering if anyone has insight on an automatic watering / drip irrigation system?
We can keep them in our unfinished utility room that has a a concrete floor and drain for our furnace in the floor. It’s also where all our water pipes are and theres a hose bibb where we couple pull water form. (It’s also warm and a little humid in here which I think will be a plus).
(**ooh we also have cameras so we would plan to put one in here so we can check on the things every day. We have a neighbor who could run over if there’s an emergency.)
Any suggestions?! 🙏🏼
Are there any easy solutions to catch pine balls effectively from a palm tree?
Apart from climbing up, are there any products people but/make to wrap around the trunk as a canonical canopy?
Any insights greatly welcomed.
He's suddenly started dropping leaves and drooping. I keep hoping it will just improve
I have a problem with my carabao grass. After planting it 2 months ago, one small patch died and it radiates outwards. There was once a canopy above it and I removed it thinking that the grass needs more sunlight. What's wrong with the grass? (I live in a tropical area)
