NickR Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Is there an ideal temperature for plants to be in to induce dormancy or is it just a matter of seeing what works best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 What conditions are they in for you to need to induce dormancy artificially? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickR Posted July 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Well I'm not trying to artificially induce dormancy now, I just keep them in a warm house at the moment and am having to think of somewhere I could put them in winter to allow them to go into dormancy. I was just wondering if there was an ideal temperature for this or not, 'cause I'd rather not keep them somewhere that might kill them or somewhere that might still not be cold enough.

Your looking for a temp that is below about 10c most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
