I watched the melted snow puddles in the garage, and when they froze (twice) I wheeled the stairwell plants indoors overnight. I kept the brug, elephant ears, and hibiscus out there, and they all survived. garden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-67691233940226043702010-06-28T18:36:42.649-05:002010-06-28T18:36:42.649-05:00Marnie, It sounds like quite the process.

Once it dries out, water with a gallon of water and a tablespoon of Epson Salt. Then start fertilizing with Miracle Gro. Good luck.

I had planted the one Tina gave me in the garden but the one I bought I have in a big pot in front of the deck so I can keep my eyes on it and baby it. It does seem to be doing okay so far but I do water it nearly every day as I suspected it needt to be kept moist. Think that might be why it died in the garden as I did not Jean Merrimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10135474696468199060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-24117661434157936832010-06-28T09:17:10.363-05:002010-06-28T09:17:10.363-05:00The problem sounds like spider mites to me too.

Wash the plant with a tissue dipped in water to get rid of the webs, eggs and the bugs then treat with an insecticidal soap or Pyrethrin to get rid of any bugs you have missed. You will have to repeat the process. I hope it recovers Dawn.Melanie J Wattshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03265452434129642917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-7631484132128058362010-06-28T09:08:15.508-05:002010-06-28T09:08:15.508-05:00I'm sorry I don't know what the problem is...I'm sorry I don't know what the problem is, but thanks for posting about it.

Letting the soil get too dry is a big stresser for plants and a secondary effect is often mites. Sometimes getting rid of mites is a long process so you may have to hose off the mites twice a day for a Roses and Lilacshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121676379580186489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-48591716477848943042010-06-28T08:12:49.124-05:002010-06-28T08:12:49.124-05:00I hope your angel trumpet recovers!

I suspect it might be spider mites plaguing your angel. A good insect soap should keep them away. I think they are attracted to stressed plants when it's dry. If you keep the angel moist that might help. At least down here that is the issue. My Alberta spruces can get infested with tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415302577518111227noreply@blogger.com
