November 3, 2018Q.Kangaroo Paw plant
I have a kangaroo paw plant in a large pot in full morning sun on my patio for a few months. The flowers have died and it has not produced any new growth at all. It has been very hot for a week 90 degrees, now cooler and I have kept it watered. Usual temps are around 72 degrees. Any suggestions. Should I plant it in the ground instead? Should I feed it? thanks very much

November 3, 2018A.Container plants can dry out quickly, especially in temperatures above 85 degrees. You many need to water a couple times a day in the hot weather.

I was gifted with a Kangaroo Paw Fern last year. It is doing OK, but very pot bound. Should I re~pot it, or do they like being pot bound?

Certified ExpertA.They can tolerate being root bound for quite some time before requiring a change, however, they perform much better with yearly division. Ultimately, it is up to you, or may be necessary if your plant is showing signs of stress.

Olds, AlbertaQ.How Do You Harvest Kangaroo Paw Seeds? When Are Where Do You Take Them From The Plant?
I have 4 large Kangaroo Paw plants and would like to try and harvest the seeds but can't find any information on where to get the seeds off the plant, when and what to do with the seeds such as dry them? store them? I know they are annuals in our part of the world but I have been told it can be done.

Certified ExpertA.There isn't much to this, actually! These will pollinate and set seed with ease. Once the flowers have been pollinated, they will drop off leaving the ovary. This will swell with seeds, and pop open once ripe. These can be sown, as with any other seed.
Here is an article that will give you more information on the plant:
