Very enjoyable! Thanks for the tour.

I think this thread started 7 years ago, so it was still under patent then. Also Chris is a woman. She and her husband ran NewFlora until selling it a few years ago. I really miss her input on this forum as she went out of her way to personally comment on our issues and questions as they pertained to their fields of thousands of roses. It was precious information as she also knew what areas sold OR vs. grafted, etc. ...life goes on.

for beverlymnz4: I only have one Heuchera, not Circus, growing in a pot on my deck. However, it's become my early-warning signal that the pot is getting too dry. The flower stems start to droop gently from the top, gradually dropping lower and lower until I water the pot. Usually within 15 or 20 minutes of a good soaking, the stems are once again standing straight and tall. Is in possible that your Circus is simply not getting enough water to support the flower stems?

Hello Aaron, I'm very new to avocados- have just had one for about six months. I primarily grow plumeria and citrus, but have just one dwarf Fuerte avocado. Have a 16' x 16' indoor greenhouse which has 8 T5HO 4 foot lights. I also have some additional LED lights for the avocado and citrus trees. I live in a wet, cold and very grey year round climate, so everything stays indoors in the greenhouse. My avocado is 4 feet tall and in a 5 gallon container. It's in a 5:1:1 soil (5 parts Repti-bark, 1 part perlite and 1 part Miracle grow potting soil). I water approximately every 5 days about 8 cups water. Fertilizer is a half dose of Osmocote, and then 1/2 dose of Foliage Pro and Pro-Tekt every other week. I bought the tree from Four Winds. It looked terrific when I bought it but within a month leaves dropped and turned brown. Now it looks beautiful again- lots of green healthy leaves popping. I'm out of town at the moment but will post a pic when I get home. Best wishes. Nancy
