Hi all,
I am new to the forum so hi everyone :) 
I moved house a few weeks ago with my two huge house plants, one is a Dracaena marginata and is about 3 feet tall and the other is almost 5 feet tall and I have NO clue what it is... I saw it in a shop and it had no tags or anything with it. (I have attached photos of that so if anyone knows what it is and could tell me that would be great). 
Recently we bought a Gerbera which was in full flower. This is where the problems seemed to start, at the same time I also had a bunch of flowers in the house so I dont know if it is coincidence of if we have brought the spawn of the devil into our house :( The Gerbera had 4 lovely orange flowers but these wilted and died within a week. Now the leaves look like this...  
My boyfriend has a peace lily which was showing some signs of neglect and that was starting to pick up however has again taken a turn for the worst.
The Dracaena marginata which I have had for almost a year has never had any problems and is now showing the following: 
And finally the plant which has no name as I still dont know what is it looks like this :(
I expected a couple of issues after moving my older plants but something definitely isn't right!!! :( 
PLEASE HELP!!!!
Nicky

I made some jam not too long ago from fresh peaches and strawberries using Sure Jell and it came out delishiously. Has anybody made jelly or jam recently? Did you make it with Sure Jell? How did it turn out?

Hi,
What are all of these cobwebs all over my plants. I don't think they're spider webs because they aren't intricate patterns. They just look like cob web material that you see in the corner of ceilings. I am having to remove them daily.
Thanks, Donna

Some leaves on my Prayer Plant have begun to curl.
The underside of the leaves have a sticky residue.
I can see no sign of Spider Mite.
Also the leaves are becoming translucent.
Any suggestions?

I'm pretty new to gardening and I'm learning something new all the time. When I first saw snails in my gardens I thought they were cute. soon learned they are not my friends. so I put bait out where I saw them and next day found a dead one(assuming the bait worked)
BUT now I'm finding little round black hard things on the lower leaves of my daisies and I don't know what they are! I'm sure it's not good. I originally was having trouble with the buds not ever opening. they would discolor, sorta blackish, and dry up. I called a local nursery and was told it could be aphids(checked and no), overwatering, or the snails. So I let the bed dry out a bit and put down the snail bait. But now I see those weird little blck egg like things. Any suggestions??? thanks so much in advance.

Grand PooBah was about to tell us a story however the Gnome Stone of learning has really consumed him,, Everytime he or another elder pick it up they see more new and different fossils,, with it being so hot here in August , this is a good way to learn while trying to stay cool.
He apologizes for those of you whom he kept waiting,,  , He also made an unexpected trip tho just for a few hours he returned exhausted but as always delighted for having done so!
The Gnome Stone reminded him of a story his Great Great Great Great Grandfather PooBah had told him. He was shocked as he had always just thought it was a story, a fable if you will: but knows now it's true as true can be  he was but a wee willy but remembers the story well for his 4th great grandfather PooBah was the best of storytellers back then.

I planted these guys in May, and the leaves keep getting eaten! no florets yet! I've tried 3 applications of permethrin (the white powder you can see) with no luck! Also tried a "Squirrel away" which is basically a little bag of cat hair and moth balls. Any suggestions?!

Hi everyone.
Someone gave me a lovely Calathea last year, but in the past few months the leaves have gone brown on the edges and even the baby ones that still appear turn crinkly shortly after 'birth'. I think I understand the cause; apparently the plant prefers semi-shade to which I have now moved it. However, no site I've found tells me whether I need to remove the leaves or just leave them to sort themselves out. Any advice from anywhere? I've even put it outside for a night to get some fresh air (being in the south of France with a tropical plant I thought it would do no harm - knowing my luck I've probably killed it for good.....)
Hope someone has the green fingered Calathea approach for me. Thanks in advance.

Anyone ever make their own insecticidal soap? I've found 1 to 1-1/2 tsp to 1 quart water.
I am desperate to try to keep the leaf hoppers away from my surviving coneflowers for the rest of the summer and hopefully stay ahead of them next summer. I must have dug up 15 to 20 well-established plants this summer because of yellow aster disease!

i don't know what this is, other than it seems fungal in nature. the plant was cheap enough, now i have to figure out what to do for it.
not all the leaves are affected, some look like this:
i'm guessing it has something to do with the care it got before i got it.

Diane, you didn't have enough rocks to fill your box so I am adding a few of my own favorites (they will be the shiney ones)
The Great Council of Gnome held a special meeting and unanimously voted to entrust the care of the Gnome Stone of Learning to the elders and scholars of the Rock Tower Village. The stone is over one million years old and as you study it, you may learn many secrets about Cedar Hill as it was back in 1,000,000 BC
It's fragile and it is definitely a one of a kind!
The Box of rocks arrived 
There was even CH moss growing on one of the rocks *** Love That 
the "Shiney" rocks are awesome,, some naturally rolled and smooth,, while others in time had marbled and developed a quartz with in them,, Thankyou Wild Willy 
I was so excited for the Village I could hardly contain my self,, especially after I saw the Gnome Stone of Learning,, It is amazing! I will have to admit I spent a couple of hours with it alone studying it and looking things up on the internet to confirm what I thought I saw Believe me and Wild Willy, it is Definitely one of a Kind!

Hi all,
After a week of rain (6+ inches) I found these odd 'things' on the tassle of one of my corn. It is my first time growing corn and have no idea what they are, would appreciate any insight or advice. My hunch is they aren't good.
Hope I posted the image correctly.
Thanks in advance for any help, these forums are great!

Hi everyone - newbie to this forum, but have a plant I need some input on. To my knowledge it IS a Parlour/Parlor Palm (I'm in the UK), but most info I've read on these states they only grow to about 3 feet or so? Mine is now 25 years old almost and is 10 feet and STILL growing upwards and outwards. It's not been repotted in about 6 years or more, although I do top dress it every 1-2, and it's well watered/fed, but I dread to think the state of the soil it's surviving in. My dilemma now is whether or not this is the right plant name as I want to try and pretty much give it away to a good home (through Ebay) so don't want to give a new owner duff info on it. It looks pretty identical to the photos I've seen of the PP so if it's not that, any others I could review to check out?? Also, has anyone else had experience of such palms growing to this extent and how to keep them in good condition when they're dying from the base upwards (although as I said this keeps on putting out new growth lower down too)?
Sorry for all the Q's but appreciate any feedback or suggestions any of you might have on this one.
