Hebe "Green Globe": Re: Hebe plant: brown spots

In response to message posted by Uma_M:

Hi Uma,

Hebe Green Globe syn H. Emerald Green is an interesting densely bushy-cushion forming plant. In other words, it tends to make a little spreading mound. As you have it in a pot, make sure the pot is deep and does not have water sitting ever, in the saucer.

We need to remember, that most of the species within Hebe (Scrophulariaceae) are from the mountains and as such are used to a longish prolonged winter. So we need to take this also into consideration, when growing indoors.

Hebes do lend themselves to short term culture indoors, but I would council taking cuttings in Spring and or late Summer. With Fall cuttings being the ideal time to propagate.

For now, cut off the dried brown leaves, if you are sure this is dead wood.

Could you tell me please the potting medium used?
Also, which Country you grow in?

asks,
