So glad I've found this website and forum! I need help! Well, not me personally but my plants do. I keep killing them without meaning to. I have the best intentions for my plants, really I do but I need an expert hand with 2 particular problems. I sure more will come along too.
I recently bought 2 honeysuckles during the frosts. I put them in containers, well covered to protect them but they died in 10 days. I replaced them, and left them in the same small pots I bought them in as I was worried I'd kill them too if I planted too early. However one flourished but the other didn't look happy at all. I planted the flourishing one in a container 2 days ago - it already looks very sad and the other is definitely dying again. They've been in part sun, full sun, shade but to no avail. I haven't over watered them and they've been fed. I thought honeysuckles were fairly hardy and hard to kill but not for me obviously!
Also, I bought 3 wisteria. 2 are planted in a trough and both doing well, one more than the other but they are definitely alive and growing leaves. The 3rd I put in a small plastic pot while I decide where to put it. Unfortunately the bud at the top died and one further below isn't doing anything! I cut it down to the one bud left and still nothing. I have to pot most of my plants as I don't have a lot of ground to plant things in; pity as I'm sure they wouldn't die if they were in the ground.
Any suggestions please? I need to improve my skills as it's my first garden.
