Questions

Hi there
I’m wondering when the best time is to plant a photinia red robin hedge in Wellington
Cheers

We moved into our new house at the end of last year and have planted feijoas as a hedge along one side of our property. Unfortunately we didn’t realise it would get zero sun over the winter months, but very sunny over summer. Will our plants survive? Or is there something we can do to help them during the winter months?
Thanks,
Anna

I’ve discovered my string of pearls has mealy bugs! After some research online, I first treated it with a spray of water, dish soap and crushed garlic. It seemed to get rid of some bugs but not all. I have also read that repotting a plant with mealy bugs is a good idea, but because string of pearls is so delicate, I am worried I will damage it even more.

What should I do! Would an insecticide be best, and which one should I use?

Thanks in advance,
Charlotte
