Lantana

I found a Lantana in Lidl last night - not very healthy looking but it was only £1.99.

Can't find much info about it online - does anybody know anything about Lantana please? I've never even heard the name before!  The packaging shows it can take full sun or half sun but apart from that...........

Thanks,

Una.

I don't know what it is - but isn't it beautiful?

Make sure you keep it out of the wind - the leaves on mine have been damaged several times because I forgot this!

I've got Baby Bio - I'll try that then!

Thanks,

Another progress report from me - after the good watering the other day mine still looks more perky than it used to and there's no sign of the leaves yellowing.  The original advice I was given about caring for it was obviously wrong, so I'm very glad i put the query on here and got all these nice helpful replies.  Thanks everybody - next step is to wait for it to flower........fingers crossed!

Should I feed it with Growmore or something to try to promote flowering?

It was looking good this morning - perked up a lot and no sign yet of any yellowing.

Well - I took Pam's advice and gave the lily a thorough watering last night, making sure there wasn't any water standing in the outside pot.

It looked happier this morning - just have to wait now to see if there's any sign of yellowing.

Pam - Maybe you've hit the nail on the head!  I only give it a teaspoon or two - that's what I was advised to do - but it's very likely that the roots aren't getting any!

I normally water houseplants your way so I'll try it with the peace lily - it'll be either kill or cure but it doesn't look very happy so it's worth a try.

Thanks,

Una.

I'm fairly certain it's not but will check.  But I never give it enough water to get as far as the bottom of the pot - just a tiny amount to make the leaves perk up again.

Morning everybody -

I bought a peace lily at a jumble sale and was advised to water very lightly only when the leaves start to droop.

I am very parsimonious with the amount of water I give it but the leaves are still going yellow.  I water from the top - maybe I should water from the bottom?

Where am I going wrong?

Thanks,

Una.
