---Just saw this forum after I posted in another one so I just copied and pasted here also. Hope that's ok. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not sure where to put these questions so I'll try them out here. My flower bulbs are drooping over in their pot and not bloomed yet. I planted them in late Nov. They are Daffodils, Iris's, & Narcissis {sp?}. Can I transplant to ground now? Also I've got a couple of big Mother-in-law tongue's and 2 big aloe vera's that look horrible. They were left out this winter. We don't get very hard freezes here so I'm thinking maybe the roots are still ok.They're in big pots. Should I just throw them out or can they be repotted and saved? I'm in South Louisiana zone 9 Thanks for your time and have a nice week.
Spring bulbs should still be fresh-leaved until early summer. You are having some kind of cultural problem, inadequate water, mite infestation... Looks at the roots of the tropicals to see if those are firm and fresh-looking. Mushy = throw out.
No I didn't give them the cold treatment. They are green and healthy looking except that they're just folding over in my 10" pot. I wonder if they are planted deep enough. I followed directions on packages. The green stem on each of them is about 12" tall and doesn't stand straight up. That's why I'm wondering if I can set the whole clod of dirt that the bulbs are potted in and just put them in the ground that way or will they die? Thanks to both of you for your concern. Will check the roots on the aloes and mom-in-laws and just throw out the mushy ones and all dead foilage and give them another chance at it. Thanks to both of you for your concern.
They're outside near a shed and get unfiltered 5 hr.morning sun. That should be enough I think. Just not sure what to do with them. Thanks for the reply.
