What would cause just the tips of my spider plants to turn brown and "brittle"??

How long before the fear of the last frost should tomatoe seeds be started in the house so that they may be transplanted after they are "hardened" off. Thanks!!

From Wisconsin. Started plants in house early in year. Transplanted outside after frost. Plants grew big. Most of them did not produce "sprouts. Those that did were all leaves with no solid centers. It is now November. Had a few "frosts No change. Could seeds be bad?

Should you cut off the rose "hips" of a climbing rose? Are there any advantages to the plant or not? Thanks.

I purchased Sombreuil white climbing roses from Jackson & Perkins several years ago and am looking to purchase another one. However they nor any other suppliers of climbing roses that I found on the internet seem to carry this variety anymore. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

For the past couple of years I have had a problem with some type of infestation on my house plants. I am hoping someone can identify the cause and help me with a solution. There are small "fluffy" balls on many but not all of my plants. I have sprayed several times with a household insect spray but can not eradicate the problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Have a Norwegian Emerald Queen Maple. Leaves have large black spots on them and leaves are starting to fall early. Looking for a reason and a "cure". Thanks

Would the person who answered my original question about where to find a "water globe' please let me know which city and state that Walmart is located?? Thank you!!

I am looking for one of those "old fashion" "water globes". It is a clear glass globe about the size of a bowling ball with a heavy metal base that screws on with many sharp spikes. You take "cut" flowers, impail them on the spikes, fill the globe with cold water and screw the base back on and then stand it upright in the center of a table. The flowers last a long time.

Is there a difference between the two, and if so what is it??

My Sombreuil climbing rose gets a minimum of 6-8 hrs of sun a day, and the lower portion of the plant has multitude of flowers. However there are no flowers on the climbing canes and they appear to die back to about 1 foot off of the ground. These plants are rated for my zone (5). Will try monthly fertilizing and see what happens. Thank you all!!

I have 4 4year old Sombreil climbing roses. By the end of the growing season, I always have 3-5 canes over 7 ft. tall on the trelles with no flowers. Each following year, there is no new growth on these long canes, and I'm forced to cut them back, only to have this happen again the following year. What if anything am I doing wrong. I am in zone 5, and mulch the plant leaving the canes up on the trelles over winter.

I put 2 jade plants in a screen porch for the summer. They developed dark brown spots a a white "fuzz" on the leaves. What caused this and how do I cure the "problem". Thanks!!
