EnglandQ.Rain daisy
Do these plants come back every year? They look very dead, and I'm not sure if I should have cut them down before winter.

Certified ExpertA.Rain daisy (botanical name Dimorphotheca) is an annual, so the plants won't come back every year (the winter kills them). You can cut them down to improve your garden's appearance, but it's not required.

IndiaQ.Zephyranthes root pruning.
Hi. I live at India where the temperature hovers around 30-40C almost everyday! Recently I had bought a pink Zephyranthes from a nursery. I wanted to transplant them to the pots. But they have developed very long roots that it's difficult to plant them in a bowl like container. I fear that they would die because of very less space for their roots to grow. Is it advisable to prune the roots?? I don't have any big sized pot right now. Thanks in advance.

Certified ExpertA.It will be best to plant these in Spring, after the soil warms up some. They are sensitive to freezing temperatures, so it is best to make sure that they are not exposed to them for long.

July 12, 2019A.The best time to divide or move Rain Lilies is in the fall in the Lower South or early spring in the Upper South, because that's when the bulbs are in active growth and you can find them.
