Keep in mind that it might be the retail nursery's fault. Monrovia has become
more and more unreliable these days however. The problem is that these huge
nurseries are buying up smaller ones and unloading that product on thier
customers, and you may not actually be getting something that was grown by
monrovia. The plants that they actually grew, they stuffed into a smaller
container than what the plant needed and they became rootbound. Then they put
these plants on a 24 hour a day drip schedule, which basically supplies them
with liquid fertilizer all day and night. Then they take the plants off this
system and ship them. After a few weeks, the plants start to decline because
they are so rootbound, and because they arent getting thier constant water and
fertilizer. I sort of agree with paghats website, but of course it is majorly
biased because of her specific experiences.
