The war with bugs is on! I've been misting the undersides of all the leaves on all nana plants as I checked for spider mites since the subject has been coming up a lot. Yup, I have them. Also picked a japanese beetle off of a Saba leaf today. Taylor, thanks for the heads up to watch for the ants.

I thought I read an old post sometime back about upping the potassium now? Or is that just for edible nana plants?

No problem!
I like the taste of the nectar, but once the ants find them...they spoil all of them!

Great job, Deb! I told you those lateritas were easy to flower, didn't I? All you had to do was sit back and (impatiently) wait! I hope it brings you much enjoyment!

Yes you did! I sure didn't expect it to happen for me until next year though! This is due to your healthy plants! I've shown my husband the pictures of my laterita's mommy on your pictures. LOL

I wonder how long it takes for the flower to make fruit?

SNC-glad yours are finally taking off.

Dean-the laterita only produces tiny inedible fruit.

Scot... no green thumb here! This has been such a struggle for me. I have told myself that if I learn what to do.. and do it... I should be able to be sucessful. So far the tropicals are doing ok, but the garden vegetables are still hating me!
