If it's got or had berries it's either one of the male/female cultivar or a female. Males will obviously never have berries.

They should re flower every year if you treat them properly after flowering. Depending on pot size ATM, repot after flowering, into a pot 1in bigger all round, and feed right through the summer with high potash feed, like tomato feed. Keep the plants in a sunny position and dry it off towards...

Thanks again everyone, very grateful.

thankyou everyone it looks like ill be cutting them back this weekend, cheers.

Well, the less you pull on the stems the better, so if you can, lay them on their sides, check there aren't any roots through the drainage holes, run a long carving knife round between the rootball and the pot and then gently tip the pot so the rootballs slide out onto a sheet of plastic. An...

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I live in the south of England and it was the cold spell just before Xmas. It was consistently below freezing for about a week and probably got down to -8 celcius . I’ll wait and see what happens in the Spring. Thank you.

Its almost a kind of Approach grafting, if you can keep two branches close enough as they grow they will do a natural graft.Not been there lately but in my local park there is a weeping willow that has two fused branches forming a kind of circle.I think roots do it as well, but usually we...

Well, if Pandaman gets back to us later this year, we'll have our answer

The problem with these is that they don't like to be moved around once their buds have formed. It would be better to move them indoors when you see signs of the first buds forming . (See my picture above).How To Care For a Christmas Cactus, Thanksgiving Cactus, or Easter CactusChristmas...

We planted Snowdrops "in the green" in February and they flowered shortly after. My wife is the Bulb Queen and she just plants them when they arrive, shifts them when she feels like it and they all seem to flourish.

It's Anthurium. Mine is about 15 years old, and apart from the flowers it had when I bought it, it has never flowered again. I live in hope

I picked up a kentia a month or so ago from IKEA, great looking plants

Many thanks to all for your help and advice

That's great advice thanks.i really like the red baron so hopefully it'll grow.

It is looking exceptional this year. It does lose its leaves here in Winter. Being in a pot I don't think it will ever flower.

I grew 3 hymenocallis Spider Lillies this year. It was a bit of an experiment as I thought the weather where I live would be too cold and wet for them to succeed here. However, they did and they were splendid. However, they will not last over winter as temps will be too low and the ground too...

I'd use a cloche or a plastic bottle cut in half. I believe they are half-hardy but I've never been able to overwinter them, I think it's too wet here and they just rot away.

No idea lol I’ll take a pic in a bit . Thanks, I’ll check that link out

Yes they do live in the ground too but they usually have less of an effect. They tend to go for my shrubs and cut chunks out of the leaves. Next year I intend to treat the worst affected part of my garden with a vine weevil killer.
