Thank you to everyone who submitted questions about their sickly plant babies. Houseplants might be fashionable, but they can be tricky to get right. Whether it’s the wrong light, too much or too little water, or a pesky draft, it doesn’t take much for your prize peace lily to turn yellow or an infestation of bugs to set in.
We put some of your houseplant questions to the plant doctors from Kings Plant Barn to diagnose. Find their answers here.

The pupils launched a petition asking the Waimakariri District Council to add a pedestrian crossing and reduce the speed limit outside their school.
“Our school is growing quickly, and we need to have road crossings and a slower traffic area so that we can cross safely," they say.

A “world’s first” winemaking method born in North Canterbury exposes fruit to the elements to ensure each strain is unique.
Greystone Vineyard in Waipara, North Canterbury has been experimenting with the vineyard-treatment method for nearly 10 years, allowing the natural environment and temperatures to affect wines and shape them differently from strain to strain.
The process was formalised and made part of a research study by Lincoln University PhD student Constanza Iversen in 2019, who analyses each step of the process to determine what makes the wines shape themselves in different ways, and how wines can be altered using natural elements.

“Although New Zealand is believed to have been the first country in the world to give women the right to sit in Parliament, it is one of the few which have consistently refused to elect a woman to its national assembly,” The Press wrote on September 14, 1933.
“Legislation permitting women to stand for Parliament was introduced in 1919 by the then Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. W. F. Massey, and subsequently passed.”
Lyttelton MP Elizabeth McCombs had just shattered that glass ceiling after a by-election, becoming New Zealand’s first woman MP.
She had previously run as the Labour candidate in Kaiapoi and Christchurch North and became the Lyttelton candidate in a by-election after the death of her husband, James, who had held the seat since 1913.
The Press noted that “Mrs McCombs’s majority is larger than any Mr McCombs secured during his whole 20 years in Parliament”.
The Press reported from a packed Returned Soldiers’ Association Hall in Lyttelton.
“‘This is the proudest moment of my life,’ said Mrs McCombs, ‘but yet one of the saddest. You all know that my husband wished more than anything else on earth that I should sit in Parliament, and we had both hoped we should sit there together. I cannot help feeling a tinge of bitterness that it was not to be.’
McCombs died before the 1935 election, and was succeeded by her son, Sir Terence McCombs, who held the Lyttelton seat until 1951.
Hoping someone out there can tell me where to go to get this done please. Have messaged lots of florists but no luck so far. Thank you everyone.
The Rangiora Community Choir would love to have some more competent Bass singers. Our rehearsals are held on a Wednesday night 7.15pm in the Hall at the Methodist Church, King Street, Rangiora

Is there such thing as a healthy Friday night takeaway?
Nolan and Julz McGaw are aiming to prove there is through their new vegan food truck called Planted, which launches on Friday evening in Woodend, North Canterbury.
The McGaws are passionate vegans, but that has not always been the case. Julz McGaw was a dairy farmer and Nolan McGaw was once a meat-fuelled bodybuilder.
Pies, cakes, hot dogs and burgers are all on the food truck menu, but with a healthier vegan twist.
The idea was to provide cheap and easy takeaway options, with less fat.
The food truck officially opens at 73 Main North Rd on Friday, from 4pm to 9pm. It opens at the same location every Thursday and Friday onwards from 4pm to 9pm.
Will you give it a try?
