Every three years I compost the mother plant and replace with the runners - those plants you refer to as " more than one plant attached." Last years runners were potted up last autumn and stuck into the ground still in their pots. These are now ready to be planted into their new bed. The mother plant is now a year old. Plenty of life in her yet. 

Once the plants become woody, the production in fruit reduces or become mis-shapen.

I can't even grow from seed!!!!!!!

When I'm watering seedlings I use a handheld spray bottle. I set to fine mist and spray until top surface of compost is moist, usually first thing morning. I check on the trays twice a day and if need be, water at tea-time. But NEVER at night.

This trick has always worked and at times I've had 50 or more trays going at any one time.

 

Yeah, my hand did get achy. hahaha

Hmmm I still feel there's something lurking in the background. I've been away for a few months and something has changed in that time.

It will be ok, grown all of the above in pots and never had any problems.

One thing I will say though, I've never found nasturtums to be natural climbers, lots of tying-in maybe required.

I use to put lobelia in my baskets but since stopped. I always find it to be the first that looks the tattiest and in some circumstances make the basket look exhausted, well before the season ends.

Me personally, I'd stick to 4 lobelia and use other plants to fill the spaces.

Natural filter for pond ? A creek ?
