Evieweale's Outbox

I have two large plants behind my desk on a book case at work - it's about 24' from a large window. I suppose I water them more some weeks than others so wikll start atering them every Friday and see if they pick up - thanks.

I had two peace lillies that didn't flower for first year but now I have one or two flowers at a time on and off all the year round - I keep them both regularly watered and they are quite warm on a cabinet at my office - though at moment air conditioning is on. If the leaves go brown I cut them down and as soon as the flower dies I cut them off as low as I can. They have now filled out so good luck.

I have two large peace lillies which I look after in the office. I cut the whole flower out from as low down the stem as I can. They seem healthy enough.

Your explanation of how to make them is perfect so I will have a go at that next week. When should I expect to see the seeds shoot? How deep to I put them in the compost in the pots? Sorry so useless and so glad I can ask someone. The gardening books dont explain the things I need to know!

Me being thick again - how do I make newspaper pots? Do I keep the compost moist until the seeds start sprouting? Do I need heating in the greenhouse to achieve this? I will try cutting the geraniums and fuschia and I think the easiest way forward for me is to root them in water first - I can but try!

Thanks for that. I have primroses (even kept them in the fridge).Will try the Schizanthus. I have fuschia and geraniums but wouldn't know how to take cuttings. Any one like to explain please - I have trailing geraniums and ordinary ones!

By pinch them out do you mean just break the heads off or take some leaves off as well? Sorry I am so thick but it's all new to me - I just remember my dad used to tell me to take the heads of the dahlias when they were small to make them bush out which is where I got the idea from!

Thanks. Will give it a go - I suppose the basket is a bit on the small side now.
