Default Re: banana sphere pit greenhouse

I replied on on my phone but didnot seem to work so i will use a real computer this time
it worked very well i had 1 veinte cohol in the ground in the center then i ended up with a bunch of fall pups just before frost and no were to store them so i just potted them and placed them in the hole around the viente cohol heres the results
the vc stayed green and healthy until febuary then started turning yellow and dieing
mainly from a combnation of cool temps and way to much moisture due to ground water
running in there was no frost damage though a drain has since been installed
4 velutina plants survived with no problems and grew all winter and are bearing fruit outside now
two blue java pups lived all winter and even grew some and are now outside and growing well
2 orinico pups also lived and stayed green all winter

all with no heat all and night time temps diping into the low teens and 2 nights of 9 degree temps
no watering was need all winter
my intent is to have 1 plant in each hole then remove the top and let it bloom and fruit
i plan on a dwarf namaw and to try another vc i like how fast they grow but they seem fragile and do not like cool temps
I am in the process of digging another one
