Hi, all. I'm new to this forum. I'm a home gardener that wants to can grow different kinds of cyp's. So I need to get some info on transplanting our native acaule's. My woods here in Va was full of them, but over the last 10 years the deer and drought have reduced them to less than a dozen. Also a wind shear-tornado type blast about 10 years ago blew over most of the pines and the hardwoods now have closed the whole canopy so no light gets in at all. So any pinks that come up along the deer path either get trampled or eaten, so I try to remove them if I get there first--less and less every year. So far my transplants are doing fine, but have not bloomed like the others. I feed them all with a crushed up mixture of rotten pine wood,bark,needles with a small amount of (tspn) green sand, garden sulpur and super phosphates and of course aged compost. They also get a few hours of sun in the morning which they seem to like. Any suggestions on why they aren't blooming after two years in the same spot?? They have very healthy color and leaves.
Is there any trading of cyp's?? I would like to try others but don't have any special cyp's to trade, do have lots of different arisaemas, like A. sikokianums to trade if anyone is interested.:fcrossed:
Guess I've rambled on enough for my first post don't want to over do it.
Thanks, lmk.
