Certified ExpertA.After the flower falls off, there will be a small seed in each pocket where the flower was. You will have to catch them quick, as they will normally just fall out onto the ground.

January 28, 2018A.A Shrimp plant is a tropical plant that can grow outdoors in warm zones and would need to winter over indoors in a colder climate.
Unfortunately your plant is frozen and will not survive these conditions.

March 27, 2018Q.My outdoor shrimp plant
My shrimp plants have these small off-white things seen only on the stems. They are almost like tiny bee hives with a pin point opening facing you. They clump individually next to each other and approx. 1/16th in size. (Almost like little dome houses for some kind of critter). They come off the stems easily when I run my fingers along the stems and if crushed I might see a red color from the inside. I do not see any kind of movement from bugs or such when I try removing them either. I hope I have described this dilemma of mine enough for you to help me. What is this and how do I get rid of it. (I don't really know how to send you photos) Thank You, Kathy

August 19, 2018Q.shrimp plant in zone 8
I planted a shrimp plant in 2015 where it gets morning to early afternoon sun). The year I planted it, it did great. Last year it grew beautifully but only had a couple of blooms in the fall. It died back in February during a severe cold snap. It grew back in the spring and has grown to 3 feet tall and wide, has great foliage but no blooms. How can I get it to bloom. It looks like it is thriving, just not blooming. I've poured an all purpose fertilizer on the ground around it once in the spring.

August 20, 2018A.The Shrimp Plant needs well-drained soil, outdoors in summer, water 1-2 times a week. In winter, keep the soil damp – never let plants dry out completely.
Make sure the plant is receiving adequate sunlight.
Water with a solution of liquid plant food throughout the warmer months. If plants flower during the winter months, cut the amount of feed in half – or cut out completely.

33414Q.Golden shrimp plant bracts covered in tiny black things. What are they?
I have two new golden shrimp plants in my garden, South Florida, 10A. I notice all the bracts have some kind of tiny black bug or larvae all over them. I have sprayed, mild organic pesticide, more aggressive types, and finally feed it a systemic but nothing stops them from coming back. What could they be?! I do also see tiny flys (not white fly) I suspect are involved.

Certified ExpertA.The leaf drop could be due to the plant needing a bit more water, or if the leaves have turned yellow, you may be overwatering your plant.
Transplanting should be easy. Make sure you're moving up just one or two pot sizes and that your soil mixture has plenty of drainage. This would be a good time to separate the root clump if you want to propagate the plant. If they are in the ground, just be sure you get most of the rootball, and have the new location ready before you dig it up. Also water it the day before you transplant, and after it is planted.
Here's a great article on how to care for your shrimp plant:
