| I brought a fern inside a few weeks ago. I noticed that it was growing out the bottom of the pot. Now it is adjusted to its new home and thriving. Should I repot it now or wait until Spring? |

If the roots are growing out the bottom, it needs to be repotted. Although the growth will slow while it's inside it will be much happier and healthier if you go ahead and repot now. Take it outside while we still have decent weather and give it a misting with fish emulsion. That will make it good and happy. Mine like Bioform liquid as a foliar feed very well.

Kathe-
Can I assume that the foliar feed u use is good for all indoor plants? I have two mandevilla vines and an airplane plant that desperately need some love and I am headed to Green Mama's tomorrow to look for something. Also - these plants had massive aphid populations. I sprayed them with soapy water and then rinsed them off thoroughly in the shower and I have killed each little critter I can find. Is there anything else I should be doing?
Hugs,
Christina |
