Certified ExpertA.I am not sure why this would be. One possibility is that they are not ripening, and thus not turning orange. This could happen if they don't get enough light, or if the temperatures turn colder before they ripen- much like green tomatoes at the end of the growing season.

February 13, 2017Q.My Chinese Lantern plant
I would like to find out why my Chinese Lantern has a white creamy substance on the stems. Could you tell me what this is and how do I get rid of this?

February 18, 2017A.This is likely due to an infestation of Mealybug.
You can treat the plant with Neem Oil.
Here are some links with more information.

11953Q.Japanese Lanterns
I have been trying to grow Japanese lanterns for years now. I live in zone 7 [Long Island] and face north. I tried seed from plants dried as well as fresh. Seed packets from various seed manufactures. And they either don't grow at all or they come up as something else. So far this year I have the leaves growing about a foot tall. No lanterns yet. They are in a pot on my deck. What can I do? Thank you, Joan Prato

Certified ExpertA.Usually, a slow release fertilizer in spring, and a well balanced fertilizer in fall will just about do it. Adding micros wouldn't hurt, but it won't be fully necessary either, unless they are showing signs of specific deficiencies. This article will give you more information on the care of these: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/chinese-lantern/caring-for-chinese-lanterns.htm

April 14, 2018Q.Bugs on Chinese Lantern Plant
Could someone help me ID these bugs and any possible way to get rid of them? I have wiped down the leaves a couple times and repotted in new soil/pot but they have come back. None of my other plants around it seem to be infested. Thank you!

April 15, 2018A.They don't seem to be doing any damage. Of those that you listed, I think they may be Snow Fleas.

April 15, 2018A.I'll make a few guess but if, on closer inspection, there is no match, repost with a close-up of the insect and what plants you find it on. Is it doing any damage? Black aphids, fungal gnats, spider mites and a harmless springtail called a snow flea are common.
