Thanks for the compliments. Now if I can get them through the winter.

This is my first year so, I lack the experience to be sure but I think the secret is push fertilizer and water as hard as you can but it must have the sun to match and well drained soil.
I used a bag of Black Kow on each plant per the video at Florida Hills then a sprinkling of Osmocote when they were planted then went to a 10-2-22 but I added too much and backed off a bit. I added Black Kow when I had some left over from other projects. I just went to an easy mix using 1 pound of 10-10-10 mixed with 5 pounds of 5-0-15 I found at walmart. I use a pound per plant per month and I am waiting to see if that is too much or can they handle more. The plan is next spring to push that to a 1 1/2 pounds per month say in June.

Lots of water then lots more water. Right now I am giving them each plant about 15 gallons every other day unless it rains good.
