Ask Burton: Q: I bring in the houseplants I keep on the patio for the winter (so they don’t freeze!), but they look thinner, weaker, and puny by the time they go out next spring. They recover by the end of spring and look good again, but is there something I can do to help them stay better looking-throughout the winter? Fertilize them, somehow?December 28, 2022

Ask Burton: Q: Many leaves are falling off my trees and shrubs! After all of this rain, things should be looking better, right? Why did so many of my plants lose some leaves? Nothing’s dead, but some of my Magnolias have been thinned out, and there’s a litter of leaves around the base of my crape myrtles. What can I do to stop this?September 21, 2022
Ask Burton: Q: I’ve got a stringy pothos ivy, a peace lily whose leaf tips are blackened and browned, and the soil in many containers looks like mud and sticks.
