Can I take a Peace Lily Plant that has been inside of my home for the past 8 months and plant it outside? Will the Peace Lily Plant survive outside?

Last week my senses were bombarded with the sights, sounds, tastes and feelings (emotional not physical) of the 4^th of July. I know many people who delight in the smells associated with the 4^th, however my olfactory system seems to ignore the acrid scent of the fireworks or the sweet smoky smell of barbecue. After a week of feeling ignored my sense of smell received a long awaited treat. With every breath, the intoxicating aroma coming from the Casablanca Lilies that were blooming in my garden captivated my nose.

Ask the Expert: My Adam’s Needle has not bloomed in years.
I see others in the neighbourhood, that are ok so I know it is not the weather. I have one in a planter at the side of the house facing west. The other is nearby, but in a pot. Neither has bloomed in 5 years, although they appear to be expanding with new rosettes.
Thanks for your help.

Ask the Expert: about Suzi Wong ferns

My Suzy Wong fern is getting brown and dry around the edges and bottom. It hasn’t had any new growth in quite a while and I really think it’s just slowly dying. I don’t know if this has anything to do with it, but it seems some fruit flies, or tiny little flies of some sort have taken up residence in the soil. Also, I keep the soil moist, and it sits in indirect light. Can you help? THANK YOU!

Ask the Expert: What kind of tree is this?

My husband and I bought a house and this tree was already there. We are not gardeners to begin with so we had little luck identifying this tree! I hope you can help us!

HELP!

I have this plant that my daughter sent to me two years ago. It had been doing OK but is now losing lots of leaves which are turning brown at the tips then the whole leaf turns and falls off. I recently replanted it and separated the roots in hopes that it would grow taller. Could it be in shock? I am not sure if I am over
