I happens now and again that I go to a newsgroup with questions and while other questions of (seems to me) similar relevance get answered at length, mine goes begging. I doubt it's because I'm asking questions no one knows the answers to, so I'm left to th
ink that it's a question of style.

I don't mean to whine and complain about not getting a free answer here. I _am_ curious as to whether I can adjust my questioning style. This has happened on other groups too.

Any suggestions?


My most recent example:

I've been growing two grapefruit seeds for a couple of years in the same pot. One is about two feet tall the other is about 5 inches. Could the one be limiting the other?

The tall plant has no branches, it just keeps growing straight up (well OK, toward the window, I turn it now and then). I know nothing of the growth pattern for these plants. Do I need to wait for it to branch on its own? or shall I clip the lead sprout
and hope that encourages side-growth?

I also have less pressing questions about pot-size and watering schedules.
Could someone point me to web-based info that might hold the answers to my questions?
