Container plant -acid and shady

other ideas? Thanks Noodle I love heuchera but have stopped growing them in pots now as I've lost too many to the dreaded vine weevils. The ones growing in the borders have all been fine. Gentians! Heucheras worth a try. Ajugas, small varigated leaved by Supernoodle

on here make me laugh out loud I find slugs eat new growth of Campanula but seem not to like them too much. Vine weevil will also eat Campanula and love to hide under veg on warm walls. by Jane12

Poorly white grape vine

'll give it a go, don't see I have anything to lose at this point Check the soil for vine weevil grubs and the leaves for adults and get some nematodes in if you find any. I can't see any evidence but it might be worth doing in case. Thanks As an aside by MuddyFork

Very sick fuscia

dying. The other two now look dried up and dead. The stems have become brittle, although they are still green inside. I can't understand it, as everything else around them is doing well. Any thoughts? Have you checked for Vine Weevils eating by The Saint

Potted Bay Tree

sure it is in a sheltered, sunny position to give it the best chance. A thought - did you examine the roots while re-potting? Did they look healthy? And no sign of any grubs such as vine weevil? Hi i'd concur with Alina, that bay trees like to be fed by Shirls44

Talkback: Growing auriculas

have lost count of the number of auriculas that the vine weevils have destroyed. I keep my collection in terracotta pots in cat litter trays in a 4 tier mini greenhouse. The cat litter trays are great for watering as no water drips onto the plants by oldchippy
