how about removig the shelf between the lamp and the plants ? or maybe the shelf don't allow it ?

Yeah, it pretty rural here in Pleasantville, Pa. :) javand: Seeing as though I only planted the rambutan a few days ago they haven't sprouted yet..but I am keeping my fingers crossed! I'll let you know when they do. Where did you get your seeds? I got mine from fruitlovers.com... I hope they are viable, and sprout soon.

My Mauritius is about 3-4 years old about 5 ft in height. It also gave out a lot of blooms this Spring and some of the blooms even set fruit, but unfortunately before the fruit had a chance to develop, they all dropped off in stages. Now, the tree is going through a growth spurt. It keeps sending out new leaves. I've read some of you here mentioning trimming. Does trimming back help to promote more growth this growing season, or is it more for the next year? So, you trim off a third of all the branches? It must be hard to do so, but if it helps for future growth, I guess it must be done. So, when is a good time to do that? Now or end of the growing season? My Brewster which is about 3-4 ft has been fossilized since more than a year ago. If you haven't seen a lyche statue, I've got one here. No growth, no nothing at all. I heard that they should be protected from wind when young. Unfortunately, this plant has got some beating earlier on because of the spot it's at. Is it too late yet to do something about it and if so, what actions should I take? I bought a sweetheart this year, but haven't decided on a spot for it yet (running out of space). It's about 5 ft tall now. I wonder how long I can keep it in a pot and what kind of care I can give to it? I haven't applied any fert on it yet. If I apply the slow release fert, how often should I give it? Other than it, it seems to be doing fine, sending out some new shoots and the stem is kind of getting lanky and bending over. Would appreciate any suggestions offered.
