July 15, 2013Q.My Euryops Has a White Residue at the Base of When the Leaves Grow
They are in pots and I live in Austin, Tx. What is the white residue and how can I get rid of it? Some of the plants have dead leaves near the bottom of the plant. I water daily as they wilt?

July 16, 2013A.If the white residue you are seeing looks like cotton, it's most likely mealybugs. I know that the plants I've grown over the years have had them. Neem oil usually kills the pest. always follow package directions.

93265Q.Could I prune a Bush Daisy which has gotten sprawled out and leggy?
I am caring for family members yard while they are gone for the summer. Other than pruning off the dead flowers, I think these plants could use cutting back. Much of the lower plant lies flat along the ground...with a large woody stem...then leaves and lots of blooms on the end. But! Will this destroy the plant? I don't want to do that.

Certified ExpertA.Deadheading and cutting back no more than 1/3 of the plant can help it to regenerate. Restorative pruning should be done in Spring, but doing so in Autumn won't hurt.

Altoona PaQ.Splitting and pinching montauk daisy mums
When do I split montauk daisy mums? When and how do you pinch back these mums?
- Answered by

September 19, 2019
Certified ExpertA.They should be pinched back when they are young to promote branching. Once they have bloomed, then it is to late to pinch.
They can be cut back by half, and pruned back by pinching in EARLY Summer, or LATE Spring. This can help promote blooms.
They can be divided during dormancy, or during slow growth, and even in early spring, when they are starting to show new growth.

Certified ExpertA.Is your daisy sited in full sun? It also needs moist, well-draining soil. Each spring feed it with an all purpose fertilizer.
