Default Re: Dwarffing of my Ele Eles

I see you're in SC. You get fairly cold there right? If I remember correctly, Ele Ele is a very cold-sensitive plant that's a "little temperamental" as Pitangadiego would have said! That is: cold-sensitive compared to orinocos, Ice creams, and sabas.

An I suppose you overwinter the plants in the ground? I think this has something to do with it - When you loose some stem in the winter. I have also seen basjoos in extreme northern areas flowering at ridiculously low heights.

I also notice the colour of the plant is not dark brown as it should be. Do you by any chance know the pH of your soil? What are you feeding it?

Regards
Erlend
