This appeared in my greenhouse. I didn't plant it and there's nothing like it growing nearby It's about 5 feet high and resembles a multi-stemmed sweetcorn plant with green flower spikes at the end of each stem. Does anybody know what it is please? Thank you

I have recently constructed a new glass house in my back garden and am not sure on what watering regime to use. I am growing a few types of Cordylines and want to avoid rotting the crown. Can anyone suggest a good system? I have attached a picture of how it currently looks. Thanks

My Uncle has just died and he had two well established plants in his garden. My question is, could we move these, and if so when? Is it a plant that can be split so that four of us in the family can have it in his memory?

I bought the original plant a couple of years ago in flower (lovely little starry flowers). I think I probably over-watered it to start off, because it rotted a bit, but then each leaf started to make a plantlet. These were planted up in half and half compost and sand, and have all thrived, including what remained of the original! Can I do anything to encourage them to flower, and what sort of compost shall I pot up the babies in, so not to repeat my experience with the parent plant?

We have a massive Lime Tree in our rear garden, which is subject to a preservation order. On cutting back the base shoots recently I noticed what has the appearance of an off white plastic bottle base pushed inside a hole in the trunk, and it is really hidden almost at the very bottom of the base, which is why I probably haven't seen it before. I had a little prod and tap but it sounds nothing like plastic and I have absolutely no idea what this thing is, it cannot be prised out either. Is there anything this could possibly be?

What a lovely friendly website this is.I am very new to gardening so it will all be trial and error for me. My father had a wonderful garden with vegetables at the very end of the garden and was very innovative - growing a wonderful grape vine which harvested many fruitsand lots of wild and wonderful plants. I am a real lover of nature and wondered what would grow happily in a south/east facing garden. I would like to grow interesting flowers, not necessarily wild colours but ones that are different to the run of the mill type flowers. Any suggestions?

I got this orchid in July.. I am so not an indoor plant person... I have managed to kill off most things. However, this orchid still has the 7 blooms on it that it came with plus a bud fell off. Now it has two buds looking ready to burst and another 2 on their way. My question is what do I do with the stem that is heading for the pot? Do I curl it back up to train around the loop again?
