I have limp: aloe, "dragon tree", ivy, and bamboo. What can I do to nurse them back :?: Also, should I bring in my miniature bonsai? It seems to be ok. I am in south Arkansas. The weather has been warm then cold all of a sudden then warm again. Please help :( :( :( :(

Try giving them a good drink and mix in some seaweed and/or fish emulsion fertilizer. Some cornmeal would be welcome too. They should have had a little more resistance to the cold but sounds like they got a little more dry than they should have. My aloe does that when it's getting too little water. I was always afraid to overwater it and made the opposite mistake! It was when we got a long period of drenching rain that I realized th aloe liked more water than I was providing. It is succulent, after all! Then let them dry out for a week or so and see if they don't feel a lot better. A foliar spray wouldn't hurt either. Bring your aloe inside for the winter; it doesn't like freezing temps.
Hope this helps!

What kind of tree is the bonsai? If it's a hardy tree you shouldn't have to worry about it.
