I'm sure I'm not alone in trying to grow one of everything, without
cultural conditions
to support each of them. One plant in particular has been bugging me for
3-4 years: a
M. Coccinea, which was beautiful and blooming profusely when I bought
it, but has stalled
since. I repotted it with good roots in a commercial bark/perlite mix
one year ago, and have
it at 55-70° under fluorescents, watering weekly and fertilizing with
1/2 strength
19-31-17 (Schultz) every two weeks.
The plant keeps sending up beautiful new shoots, but many of the
older leaves become
yellow or brown at the tips, and it hasn't even thought about blooming.
Can anyone suggest a new tack?
Thanks,
Tom
