    Plants through the winter

    Hello guys havnt been on here in sometime hope all is well. I have a couple of plants that il list below. Which I took out the pond and put into a small tub in a pop up green house. Question is they seem to both be dieing off turning dark brown, is this normal? Will they cum back next year or are they actually dieing. IMG_9058.JPGIMG_9059.JPG

    Thanks again

    If there are no diseases, everything must come back. Don't worry about it.

    Are the plants suspended or on a shelf?

    So can I ask, when you say pebbles how large? Do you just put few in bottom then build up around the roots ?

    10mm shingle works for me. Various height baskets, Tesco grocery home delivery baskets work well, you can stack them on top of each other, lined with a bit of Terram.

    All the pebbles are roughly in size. Of 1/4 inch up to 2 inch. In size. Decent size baskets. I put a layer of about 4 inch pebbles. And add plant. And build around them lol. Works well. The lillys are about 3 inch deep. In the baskets. Everything is now on the bottom. Of the top pond. Took ledges out this spring.
