oxydiser Posted June 23, 2005 Hey all, are there any perthites out there that are successfully growing hawaiian baby woodrose in Perth? I have several seedlings that I planted late March/early April (I know... prolly too late in the growing season but I was keen as) which are looking rather sickly at the moment, all splotchy brown patches. But then again, I have catha and datura seedlings that are still growing strong, can anyone help me out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2b Posted June 24, 2005 Mine grow fine , way down south but I am just resided to the fact that all my growing will be done in small green houses. Katha ,Acacia , Ephedra , Atimesia ,Papaver, Morning glory , cactus all do well in this climate. It's the more northern exotics that require a controlled environment.

Fenris Posted June 24, 2005 I never had any problems although I can give you a couple of pointers. Grow them in the largest pot you can find as I believe the initial root growing phase has a lot to do with the size and health of the plant, a good large root system established early will produce a big plant. Also if they are in a pot make sure the drainage holes don't get clogged up by the growing roots, this happened to mine and the plant literally drowned in rotting soil and by the time I worked out what had happened it was too late.
