tarev's blog: Timely Intervention

Posted on Jul 29, 2013 2:30 PM

<p>I have this tiny piny opal eucomis that I really loved when I got it first last year. Have seen it bloom during summer and was hoping to see it again this year. </p>
<p>But it is already almost the end of July this year, and still no growth above the soil line. Have peeked below a couple of weeks before and raised the bulb a bit..still no go.</p>
<p>A timely discussion in the forum threads and a very informative feedback from fellow ATP member jmorth revealed my mistake..aha..the bulbs are still planted way too deep in my container..so removing some more soil last 27July2013, looks promising the tips look pale but alive.</p>

<p>And a follow-up today, 29July2013..woohoo! What a remarkable difference! Plant is maturing fast, getting greener and more defined leaf growths..glad that our temps are amiably nice..sunny and warm enough..just giving it some more watering..and things should still catch up with its blooming phase. </p>
