Hi All,
Charles here in Va. I have some concerns growing Brocchinia reducta
and need some professional advice. I currently have two plants that
were given to me a year ago. One plant is currently growing in the
greenhouse while the other plant is growing inside a large aquarium,
inside my house. I admit, I can just about grow anything including a
dead branch, but the Brocchinia reducta has me a little stumped. My
plants seem to grow fair in the spring and summer, but they seem to
just hang on during winter. My greenhouse plant seems to suffer
greatly during winter months even though the greenhouse stays well
above freezing, but cool during the evening hours and very warm during
day hours. If there's anyone who would like to share their growing
tips with the group, please send them in. This would includes: best
soil to use, growing conditions, winter conditions, moisture needs and
of course what not to do or anything else they have to offer. The more
responses, the better. I'm all ears or should I say eyes. Thanks in
advance,
Charles Brewer
