    Hi Peeps

    It's me again with another question about my poorly delosperma.

    TBH I've been a bit negligent, and it was in It's terracotta pot, but overgrown with grass.

    Was going to reluctantly dispose of it, then noticed a wee flower blooming from it.

    So attempted some damage limitation which I think did more harm than good as I accidentally removed It's root ball.

    From the pix you can see that there were some separate bit that came from it which I have place in small terracotta pots which a mixture of grit and compost which a wee bit of feed. I'm hoping that I've done some good.

    What are your thoughts, is there anything that I should have done or should do to give these a chance?

    thank you

    Carol

    I think I would just get a new one, there might be some viable bits there but I wouldn't bother to be honest.

      Yeah that was my initial thought but when I saw the flower, I just couldn't lol, I'm a bit of a softy when it comes to giving anything a chance

      End up giving myself more hassle
