Hey Peter! Nice to see you!Nicely done!
Thanks
Thank you, Heather!Hey Peter! Nice to see you!
I've been having problems with mine this year. It sends out inflorenscence but after a week growing the buds whither and the flower stem dies back.
I thought at first it was insect damage, now I am thinking it could be a light issue. The humidity is always above 60% so I don't think it is drying out too much or getting over watered.
Yes, I do the same, starting about Thanksgiving I stop and start again around call Valentine's.Mine was in a sunny south facing window. I just didn’t water it for 3-4 months
While there are other possibilities...there is a chance that you watered it too soon and too fast(after budding). It is wise not to water the plant too soon IMO. and perhaps not to wet the flower spikes also.Here's a photo of the problem I've been having this year. Flower stem starts off strong then withers and becomes deformed till it dies back brown. Any ideas?
Thanks! Yes, in Jan the humidity got too high and it started spiking about 2 months before normal. These spikes have since wilted away. Later, new spikes emerged at the appropriate time when I watered later but they too are wilting away. Perhaps the initial problem in Jan has carried over to now. I guess I will hope for a better flower next season.While there are other possibilities...there is a chance that you watered it too soon and too fast(after budding).
