Default Re: TC-plants and suckering

MH has hit it, I think. Vitality - this the main issue!!! I have resurrected the new siam ruby, the Ae Ae and the ensette maurelii, all potted, from the spider mite/worm attack and they are growing strong again. The critical thing now is keeping water to a minimum. When the the soil surface looks dry they all sprout well. The trick for me is getting as much sun as possible without getting hit with all the rain we have been having in PSL. Outside in the pool area/inside the patio - back and forth/back and forth!

BTW, has anybody noticed the number of stink bugs that have proliforated here in south Fla recently? Also, black runners are popping up all over.
