Brought in my plants today (finally)

Date: November 29, 2011 03:43AM We have had frosts already and I kept forgetting to bring in the stevia plant and my others. I am waiting to see if my zebra plant survived that shock of cold. It had black ends that I ripped off and it seems to be still alive but it hasn't grown any yet, so I am crossing my fingers...I was amazed that the stevia seemed not the worse for wear. I would like to research to see what its ideal climate is, as it originates from South America. But of course not all locales there are balmy. Re: Brought in my plants today (finally)

Date: December 27, 2011 06:17PM Aarggh! My plants have become straggly since I brought them in. I think they're still alive but I don't know what to do. The stevia has flowery thingies (green and no colors). But the leaves are sparse and it's falling over itself. Does anyone use supports for indoor plants? I don't know the name of another of my plants--maybe I'll take a pic of it. It's yellowing and I don't know what that means! Re: Brought in my plants today (finally)

Date: December 27, 2011 06:43PM Plants tend to get straggly if there is too little light
Not sure about the yellowing that usually indicates a nutrient imbalances ir again even a lack of light can cause yellowing Are they in a sunny window or ? 
Yea maybe take a pic. ...Jodi, the banana eating buddhist  Re: Brought in my plants today (finally)

Date: December 28, 2011 06:04PM I don't know what I'm gonna do, Jodi. I don't really have a lot of Sun in my place. I just want to keep them alive until next spring! Re: Brought in my plants today (finally)

Date: December 28, 2011 09:27PM you should be able to get relatively cheap (under 10$) full spectrum grow lightbulbs from a garden store maybe, which would be better than standard lightbulbs to help your plants if you can dedicate a spot for them by that lamp or area where the bulb is ...
I also looked up in my plant books that overwatering can cause yellowing too ...Jodi, the banana eating buddhist Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
