Wow! What a transformation! It looked so sad, and now it looks so happy!

How is the hellebore doing this winter?

[@balconiagarden]

I have to be honest, it's still alive and has flowered but nothing like last year 😢 I think I should have repotted it. Will know for next time!

@@balconiagarden maybe a bigger pot would make it happier, could be drying out to quickly. Good luck it’s a beautiful hellebore!

@@ceahorse56 thank you! I should have gone with my instincts and repotted as I could see the pot was full but the research said to leave them. Good reminder to not believe everything I read and to go with what I already know!🤣

@@balconiagarden I have a large one in the ground that's getting to much sun after a tree was removed so I'm going to have to move it. Moved it once and it never missed a beat, now I'm thinking about potting it up. With my whole yard now in full sun it's not happy so even if it doesn't make it , it's okay. I have another one in a pot and it's happy plus potted I can at least put them on my porch in the shade in the summer.

@@ceahorse56 sound like a good plan. That's the beauty of growing in containers, they allow us to be flexible to change in our growing spaces ☺️ hope it adapts well 🙏
