Default RIP Boris

it is with great sadness that i have to report the untimely death of my dearly beloved yucca plant, boris

he was a true friend to me, a great comfort, he'll be sorely missed

i promise never to let the kids play indoor cricket ever ever ever again
i feel so guilty because i was bowling for them ......

Hopefully he had a good innings.

I think he's wounded, but not unto death. Cut off the broken bits. He'll bounce back!

Dont give up yet FG - I had a yukka that was tipped out of its pot and left for dead while I was on holiday. I came back assuming the very worst, just a brown stick left, but as it had sentimental value I repotted it anyway, without any hope, but sure enough it DID revive, very very slowly, and lived to a very ripe old age ... give Boris another chance, a bit of new compost and some TLC, they are very hardly beings!
