Now that the flowers are fading, I'm wondering if I should do anything. Should I clip off the stems once the flowers are completely gone? Pinch off just the parts that had the flowers? Leave it alone? Also, is the flourescent light too much? I'd really rather have it near the window (like it is in the picture) but I'm afraid the air may harm it. On top of my credenza it may be getting this air as well but maybe not as direct. Or maybe I should just take it home and find something more suitable for the environment here (Requiring low/moderate light and not temperature sensitive)?

All suggestions and comments are appreciated! Hope you all are having a GREAT day!

To the left of the house, I have a full sun bed. Currently, I have a seemingly healthy rhododendron, various azaleas, a couple of forsythia and a semi-ring of fire power nandina. Daffodil, Gerbera Daisies, Gladiolus and stella doro come up in this bed. My crocus and a couple of other spring flowers I'm used to seeing did not appear this spring. I also have a couple of hot pokers that have barely appeared over the last couple of years (only put up the leaves) and a bunch of small irises near the steps. Everything else is shaded with the exception of the bed around the mailbox. I've loaded that up with all kinds of goodies as well.

*Sigh ... hello, my name is Teresa and I'm an amateur gardener ... lol. Help?

They apologized and cleaned up the best they could. I know they didn't mean to drop it on my yard .. .they meant to drop it in the street. I've never seen someone take down a tree by tieing a rope to a tractor and pulling (of course they cut a slice out first).

Anyway, I don't think it's enough damage to make alot of noise about but I feel ... violated. Like a bully came along and stomped on my science project. It still works, just not as great as it was ... money won't bring it back or make me feel better ... and it will probably recover ... but I'm still pouting about it.

Has anyone done this before and had success?
