Tropical Hosta Problem
I have a tropical hosta that I am overwintering in my basement. I have noticed recently that it is getting sick. I am seeing black stuff, possibly a fungus, all over stems and flowers. I also noticed a lady bug. Here are some pics. Any help would be appreciated. Leaves are a little sticky too.

New lemon basil sprouts!!

Thanks for all the feedback. These were actually shelves that I had built. Didn't need them as shelves anymore so I enclosed with some luann and put some plastic that I can lift up in front to hold in some heat. I can lower the lights all the way down if I want. I do like the idea about doing some s...

Petunias popping up everywhere!
Well, I found two more petunias coming up that I did not plant! Can dig them up and overwinter them or use cuttings and start new plants?

I think fall is right around the corner
Well, I looked out the window this morning and looks like we might have had our first heavy frost. I will have to check the plants. Time to get out the yard waste dumpster!
