Thanks for the weevil info, I'm lucky that the Morado is resistant to weevils and so far the Verdin appears to be also. I actually planted the Verdin in a weevil infested ARH corm, it was easier than adding compost.

Thanks Keith, I wish I knew more about the reds or what specific variant this is. Everyone here just calls them Tall Red or Cuban Red if they aren't clearly Dwarf Reds. Where I live is pretty dry (for this area, only 75" of rain last year) and ones I've seen just a few miles away where they get almost double that they seem to be much more vigorous, taller, thicker stemmed even with no care. The bunch is puny. Only 4 hands and now putting out male flowers.
My Dwarf Red has been much faster growing with many pups, but still no flower after 2.5 years. Thought it started to choke 6 months ago after a very dry summer but it still putting out new growth extremely slowly while the pups are close to overtaking the original p-stem in height.
