Certified ExpertA.I don't know what plant you overwintered but chances are good they need to be snipped to the soil line to make way for new growth.

07059Q.Leaves On Plant Turn Brown Around The Edges And Eventually Turn All Brown And Die
the plant was doing well then the leaves started to turn brown around the edges and eventually turn all brown and die. I do not know the name of the plant. It's leaves grow from the base and there will be a single large orange yellow flower in late summer. Do you know the name of this plant?

July 6, 2021Q.Planting Aspen At Altitude….
I have a high elevation property in Colorado. It's roughly at 9500', I tried to transplant a couple Aspen that lasted only one year. I see other Aspen nearby so know they can grow I just wonder how to give them the best start possible as we do not live there full time. Also do you think a "Fat Boy Spruce" will also survive at the same elevation?

Certified ExpertA.I would say that it can survive. Especially since you have seen, at least, one in the area. These articles will offer the best care information:

This article will suggest a tree that will do quite well in high elevation regions:

Many conifers will do well, as long as you stay within temperature tolerances of the species of your choice. This article will help:

West Village Greenville, SC, 29611Q.What Would The Recommended Moisture And Ph Levels On A Plant Meter Be For The Following Plants:
Majesty Palm (Ravenea rivularis), Mass Cane (Dracaena Fragrans 'Massangeana') , Cordyline Fruticosa and a Dracaena Corn Palm.

Certified ExpertA.All of these plants have similar requirements and care, fortunately. pH will be ideal in the "slightly acidic" range. 6-6.5 is idea, but they can tolerate neutral soil.
Moisture will fluctuate, if you want them to be healthy. It should go from saturated to almost dry, down to about 3 to 5 inches, which is where all of your beneficial bacterial will be. This is the important soil layer. You never want this layer to remain wet or dry, and it must fluctuate to be healthy.
Otherwise, here are some articles that will help:

February 3, 2022Q.How Do I Cool My Green House In The USVI Summers
Dear Sir, I have a small greenhouse growing microgreens. It is 16ft (w) x 8ft (w) x 8ft (h). 10mm double wall polycarbonate sheeting slipped into aluminium frames. It has 4 roof vents and one 4 ft door. I also have 2 air circulation fans. They can be mounted high in the green house. I think that I need floor vents to pull cool air from shaded areas around the base of the green house. The frames for the polycarbonate panel are approximately 24 inches apart. Can you advise if you have a shutter and fan mechanism or a louver system that could be put into a space cut in the polycarbonate.
