I dont want to uncover to soon but spring fever is here and I don't want to wait till the end of May like I did last year.
Hi, I'm in central NJ. A word of caution. I got excited about the temps warming
into upper 60's. My Ensete Redleaf was doing great producing a new leaf
weekly. I thought it would love some fresh air and a little sun. I put it where it had protection from too much sun. When I brought it back in a couple hours later, It was drooping. I freaked out! I got it thru the winter and now I'm going to lose it. It took some time for it to get over the shock. It did nothing for about the next 10 days. It finally opened a new leaf yesterday.
Thank God!!! I couldn't bear to lose this one. Weather is turning cold again
and too unpredictable to take chances Try some seeds indoors under lights
to help you over spring fever.
