#FromTheGarden this morning. The next instalment of news on the Lemon Verbena

🌿 I've been using the stump of the LV to wiggle the soil and roots loose from the pot a little each day. It was hanging on, but with the pot on its side most of the water had drained out.

Today I got the root ball and soil out. The root that had grown through the hole in the bottom of the pot had grown until it sealed the pot. No drainage any more. Wet feet. Curled up and died.

The cause is solved. I may try to regrow a plant from part of the stump but I think it is a lost cause. I struck some cuttings tho, so 🤞 I'd like to continue this plant somehow, even tho I have a second LV bush in the garden.

I'm sorry that happened!

Thank you for posting what you learned. It will save the life of other plants in the future, not just your own. I, for one, now know this is a thing to watch out for
