I am an amateur potter that recently started making small pots for displaying Lucky Bamboo Plants. I am interested in learning how to grow my own plants. Do you have any suggestion for obtaining starter plants and how to grow them.

Thanks

Ask the Expert: How do I care for my peace lily

My Peace Lily is always losing it’s leaves. They turn brown and crispy on the edges, then yellow and then die. What am I doing or not doing to this poor plant.
Can they be put outside?
Thanks

I have a plant that has recently bloomed. My friend gave me a couple, and told me that the flower was red. She did not know what it was. Mine has bloomed and it is purple and white. If someone could email me I could send them the pictures. It has narrow leaf blades and flowers like a Siberian Iris, but the flower only lasts for 24 hours. It has only 3 petals down and 3 up, that curl under. It has a very delicate scent, and seems tropical in its character. Can anyone help me out? MB Williams

I really like your site. I am having a problems with my Lucky Bamboo Plant. It is about 1 year old ,really tall and green. All of a sudden some of the stalks are yellow (2 of them) all the others remain green. It is in a vase that they came in. I keep it watered. What should I do. Can you please give me any advice? Thank You

The roots of my bamboo plants acquired fungus over the course of a 2 week trip out of town. I rinsed them thoroughly, but the plants are still declining in health. I was thinking of cutting off the root ball. Is this a fatal maneuver? How might I save them?
