    I have some Canna tubers in pots in a mini-greehouse, when should they be watered ?. At the moment there is no sign of growth. I have some giant canna`s in tubs outside and they are already a couple of inches high.

    Not sure about the cannas outside, they will not like the frost - if you get any in Wales that is.

    My cannas are drinking plenty at the moment but they are inside on my winow sills and shoeing some good leaves.

    I would have started watering them some weeks ago to get them going. Start now but not too much at first. [​IMG]

    Mine vary from 1 ft. high in the conservatory to nothing (also in conservatory) - seems to depend on variety. Picasso is just shooting but Brilliant is well away. The ones which I left outside show no sign of growth as yet.

    All are well watered and feeding started last week.
