JFPurcelljr - Most bulbs, Freesias included, have an active period of bloom and growth, and then a dormant time where everything dies down. It's perfectly normal.

Apparently this blasted glitchy site doesn't allows links in the shout box. For a link to the new Gay Gardener Forum, go to "The Grape Vine" area and you'll find the link in the "New Gay Gardeners Forum Available" topic.

avocados don't normally bloom in indoors settings unless u provide atrium conditions.
but it doesn't hurt waiting patiently, all they needs is bright light, med-high humidity and spacious, oversized container.

I live in SW Fla.
About four years ago I planted a avacoto seed from a neighbors yard. The tree is now about 20 feet tall. No fruit !
What did I do wrong?

Cheryl - re Clivia reblooming - Clivia needs a cool rest to rebloom. Try putting it in the coolest room in your house in the fall and give just enough water to keep from wilting. Bring it out after a month and a half or so and it should bloom. Also pot-bound plants bloom better.

bullet sazji on Sunday 22 April 2007 - 19:24:22
Karen - Unless you want to try growing Clivia from seed, remove the forming seedpods if any but leave the main stem. This will eventually yellow and die back as the plant extracts the nutrients from it. Then you can cut it off.

bullet Karen Lyles on Sunday 22 April 2007 - 10:49:57
When the blooms fall of of my Clivia Miniata, what do I do with the shoot? I didn't know if I should cut it back or leave it alone. Thank you so much! Karen

Hi I have just joined. I am Andrew, and I am a Gardener in a large private garden in Ireland. The garden is 14 acres and has been under construction for four years now. we are hoping to stop landscaping and start ghardening this year. But first..............

bullet Dean on Saturday 31 March 2007 - 11:59:25
Hi, I've just joined (probably more than once knowing my computer skills). Anywho, I live on 30 acres in the Glasshouse Mountains (Sunshine Coast Qld Australia) and cultivate tropical trees, Sth American bulbs (plus Boophane, Brunsvigias etc) and other strange things...
And, I believe everything is hardy until I've killed it 2 or 3 times myself...Haven't tried Meconopsis yet but I will one day.

MikeHub - for Love in a Mist, the best way is to sow them in the Fall; they'll know when to come up on their own in the spring as long as they are not outcompeted by other things. They will usually self-sow as well.
