Mine are all in pots, and I just spread and dug in some milorganite. I do it to green the plants, but I dont know why I dont have scapes. If the scapes match what the plants are looking like, t least I might have some nice flowers. These nice big green plants dont seem to pick up the rust either. Mainly a problem on my strugglers.
As for loosing those plants, serves me right for ordering them in the first place. Wont happen again.
I have bids on two for my neighbor, thats all the buying 'Ive' done. Im sticking to seeds, and I ordered myself some consolation orchids.
