How to Have Success With Superbells Garden Answer River: I wouldlove to know your climate, when you get your rains, your temps, everything and when you plant these horrific monsters because i've tried and tried and tried. In our winter which is dry sunny and cool/warm they green up nicely but wont flower, just when they start flowering in our Spring they rot because of the rain and so far I've never got one to grow at all in summer because of the heat humidity and frequent rains. Generaly they seem to collapse rather easily succumbing to fungal diseases, things like black leg, moulds unless you use consistant fungicide drenches which are a not good for the environment. In any case not getting any fowers is not much of an incentive. So for me now a complete non-starter of a plant. I crave to know wat kind of climate these things grow in in the wild because that would be a clue to how to grow them in our gardens. Yes our plant shops keep selling them all year which is ridiculous because they simply don't grow in all climates obviously, they're also not resistant to anything at all, worse than the old petunias. BTW growers or producers of these things use tons and tons of fungicide so not very green overall. They also like acidic soil.

You saved our SuperBells! You made me look like a hero ( of course I look like hero because I researched and found you and all your videos ) Ours were looking dreadful and I took some of your tips and in two days they already are looking much better. I also noticed that you have them in larger containers than whet we had so I re potted to a larger one. I believe also the extreme Georgia son may be a bit too intense so I brought them closer to the porch so not the get the mid day intense sun. Thank you so much! This is only one of a few times I have learned from your videos - It was high time I thanked you!

Hey Laura, great video. I really enjoy and learn with your 'plant spotlight', I think I'll change up my hanging baskets twice a year and this information really helps me to choose my plants properly. Any way, could you include the greenhouse more in the garden tours? I know it's probably where you keep all the secret projects and future plants to use in the garden, but I'm super curious as to what's growing in there: ) I'm really excited to watch the next garden tour by the way

Superbells have a predisposition to get a fungal root disease which kills them rather quickly. I live in an arid climate, planted them in a new hanging pot with new coir liner, used new, quality container potting soil, watered heavily once a day. I doubt the conditions I have here contributed to the plants getting the fungal disease. I fully believe the disease was already in the roots of the plants when I bought them. Not buying overpriced Proven Winners again.

Hello, I live in Orlando FL (hot temperature. I have the plant calibrachoa in a hanging basket outside in my mailbox. 1 month and the flowers are drying. I saw your video and my question is, can I use those two fertilizers together at the same time? I bought both, they came to me today. I ordered them since I saw your video. I want to know how to use them, I don't want to burn or kill my plants. I would like use the fertilizers tomorrow, please respond. thanks.

I'm glad it wasn't just me! After spending $6. 00 per plant, I'm not sure that I will try them again. I have lots of green foliage but hardly any bloom. I even purchased the water soluble PW fertilizer. My calliope geraniums are doing great n the ground. They are completely choked out in the pots by the non blooming super tunias. I'm in the SE corner of Washington State so desert climate. The pots get 8 hours of sun and water twice a day. Been very disappointed.

I am not patient enough to wait 4 months to grow million bells like that. I kept thinking whats wrong with my bells! I still think my million bells are dying maybe because of overwatering? But its been almost two months and they barely passed over the rim of the basket. On top of that, something chopped up so many stems. So frustrated.

Awesome. Super helpful. What will you do with the container after the first frost? I assume you'll keep the evergreen, but will you surround the base with kale or pinecones? I'm interested in how you change over your evergreen containers.

Watching one of your episodes motivates me to get out into my garden, it is better than a kick in the pants. I watch you and and can not wait to get out there. You not only inspire but teach us so much. Thank you, keep up the good work.
