They were potted up. I am afraid I have a bad habit of curiosity - I keep taking things out of their pots, and removing the soil to have a look at...
It was frosty last night and is frosty again tonight. But my lowest temperature recorded so far has only been -4C on 20 January. That is still...
I am sorry to hear that Pete - I assume its outside under cover - but the damp does get everywhere. I think mine has been helped a lot by being in...
This should really be in the Tropical section, but the Eden Project is such a wonderful experience that everyone, even non gardeners, would enjoy...
Ensete Maurelii propagation update - day 82 [ATTACH] My Maurelii segments are doing well now. Only one of the quarters has any top growth -...
I am so glad this thread has been revived. I am still growing them, but they have had to live outside over the summer and they don't do much in a...
I have had a couple of PM's and will be contacting you. I have two different spreadsheet tables I am willing to send as files, if anyone is...

Madahhlia - I would agree with you about Leonotis leonorus - its never done anything for me either. I think it needs more heat than we can...
