Becky--
I have NO secrets....I hardly ever fertilize--just now and then when I think of it.
If anything--it may be the "Osmacote" or "Dynamite" slow release fertilizerI mix into the soil
as I am potting them up in the spring. It says it feeds for 3 months--or more.
I also want to mention that I have NEVER asked anyone for money for any plants
I have shared--just postage. Isn't that what gardeners do? Share? Maybe trade sometimes...
I have sent cuttings and plants to many people in many States.
Yes! it does take time to package them so they survive the trip. So--round up the postage cost
when refunding.
I think the one I had to chuckle over is ME--from Baltimore, MD--sending someone in FL Brug cuttings....
Brugs grow like trees there--don't they? Here, in Baltimore, most people never heard of one.
I also grow 3 different Epis and some Pregnant Onions...and always--a Brazilian Plume Flower.
I used to have Climbing Onion--but it rotted out after a few years. Too much water--i think.
When I was tossing it out--I found out that the pot had NO drainage. No wonder it died!
Many of these "odd" plants came to me in trades from someone in CA.
Over the years--I have "populated" anyone interested in any of these plants here, in the Mid Atlantic area.
I simply SHARED at any of our, 3 times a year, Swaps we hold.
Happy New Year to you all! in case I do not get to connect with any of you here before that.
