Wintering of the Japanese Anemone
P:Does the Japanese anemone hibernate in the ground or is it better to dig it up and store it in the basement? Eight years ago, I bought three copies of a choke. One climber was to be male and the other two female. In spring they all have tiny white flowers and they have never had any fruit.
O:Japanese anemones winter in the ground, they grow well in clay soil, rich in humus, in partial shade. After the first frosts, the aerial parts are cut. Young plants for the winter, just in case, are better covered with mulch. Older specimens should be covered in areas with harsher winters.
When buying plants, check carefully what the seller is offering. Each plant should have a label with a description.In the case of dioecious plants, this information should be included on the label.The male variety is called 'Hercules' and the female is 'Diana'. In the absence of a pollinator, you have to buy it by asking for the 'Herkules' variety at plant sales points.

Conditions for the Phoenix palm
P:After being moved to another room, a palm tree, probably a phoenix, started to wither, its leaves withered, new ones grow very poorly. It is much warmer in the new place. Could this move harm the plant?
O:If the conditions in a new place are different than in the previous room, the plant may become ill with such a change.Growing for several years in a cool room, she got used to such conditions, and besides, the Phoenix palm tree likes such conditions.
In a warm room where the temperature is around 20ºC, she may get sick.If there is no other option, try to get her used to new place, increasing the humidity of both the ground and the air.
Babylonian willow and frosts
Q:Is the Babylonian willow frost-resistant?
O:The Babylonian willow in our climate works best in the western parts of our country, where it overwinters quite well.In less favorable winters, young shoots may freeze, and in spring they should be cut.Young specimens must be protected in other regions of the country.
