manders 612 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 I noticed an odd thing with my longifolia, i have one piece in a conservatory where it does fine all year Another piece is in a greenhouse with ~10C minimum but this one has all but dissapeared. I know they can go dormant if dry and i overwintered one like that several years ago, but does the cold alone make them dormant? If theyre cold and wet will it survive or does it need a cold dry dormancy? Anybody grown them in those conditions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gardenofeden 244 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 my plants go dormant with 5c minimum but do not thrive, they grew much better when they were heated to 10c min. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hermes 2 Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Longifolia seems to do a bit better with a bit of a rest. It seems to come back stronger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
