Time to wake up the tubers
Comments (4)I may be too early, but in mid march to be safe - take them out and dip them in water for a moment and put them at house temp. In a week, I wet them again. By the second weekend (or 3 weeks) they are showing pink stem nobs on the top. Bury them up to their shoulders in sphagnum peat moss (the stringy stuff). This can be done in a large flat with multiple tubers. This is temporary until the roots show. Keep the sphagnum moss wet. When the roots are 1/4" long, put them in their own pots and gradually bury them in Promix as the stems develop. They should be 1" deep by the time you plant them. Note: this timing assumes that you can grow them in strong (not direct sunlight) light. I use flourescents. I grow mine in window boxes and containers only. Growing them in flower beds invites grubs etc....See MoreThey're waking up!!!!!

Comments (29)Most of the time I wake up before my 5:30 AM alarm goes off. Up, turn on the TV, and the computer, get dressed, read email and the paper online while eating breakfast. Then, peek in here at the KT, and on facebook, and get ready to go to work. If I ride my bike I leave the house 15 minutes earlier than if I drive. I work till 1:30 PM officially, but most times don't get out till after 2:00 I return to my bed after the 10:00 PM news and start the whole fun scenario again. :) Moni...See MoreTime to wake up?
Comments (0)My potted plant has been in a cool unheated north room in dormancy since past August. I read somewhere to start getting it out of dormancy the beginning of Spring. Well, its Spring now. I started to water it and put it into a south, warm room. ..but i do not see any signs of it reacting. How do i know if its dead even and just wasting my time babying it?...See More

Start waking up. Removed cover last weekend. I see some plants start show inflos. One in ground at front yard has one. Last winter, I did not cover for frost and it did not get any black tips.I thought I have more time to enjoy my plumeria while I do WFH but same as usual, only on weekend I have a time to enjoy them.
Stay safe and Healthy everyone.Atascabaman (Central CA 9a) thanked Kawagoe (Santa Clara,CAHome of SF 49ers)
