Mj, hope you have internet back again, and computer working. Is your P. Gloriosum in a pot or in the ground. I have two, and neither is exactly thriving. Given that they are the same age as yours, I obviously need to rescue and resuscitate them. One's in the ground and the other in a pot right next to it, sunk in the ground. The one in the pot is doing better but still not great.
You're lucky the storms are happening in the afternoons for you, with this flow off the Gulf, ours have been in the middle of the night - 3am on Friday, and before 5am last night! I'm going to need a nap today if this keeps up.
