I germinated mine on paper, put them in paper pots, and then moved
them outside when it was warm enough. Woe is me! Quite a few are
dying, with grey, rotten leaves, and many of the vigorous ones have
'dry' (i.e. straw-coloured and dead) streaks, especially near their
tips. I suspect waterlogging, due to continual overwatering of the
natural variety :-(

Does anyone recognise the second symptom, and do you agree with my
suspicions? The first symptom I am pretty sure of - anyway, those
plants will be dead shortly.

Nick Maclaren.
