AntMan01 said:Very interesting Tim, sorry to see that you're having problems with root rot, but glad you could salvage Torrid Zone. Do your think weevil larvae ate the roots, or is the soil/weather too moist? Seeing the mild Zone 8 in your profile, might that have something to do about different plant growth and mounding? I'm in Zone 5, quite different.

I'm convinced that my occasional root loss is due to weevils and crane fly larvae. I have found both at various crime scenes. Rot from excessive moisture is also a possibility but I haven't been able to verify that.
I think 'Gold Bug' is about my favorite. I'm going to try to propagate it into a larger colony... assuming it cooperates.
