rotted off or did it just decide that was the time it was going dormant? sorry.....asplundii is one of my all time frustrating species......SOB would go dormant at a drop of a hat.......couple times a year......

i have never flowered my reniformis and maybe a cool dry winter would get me that, but i wouldnt wait for it to tell me it was going dormant i would just gradually reduce water levels and dropping temps.....but like i said, ive never seen mine go truly dormant, just periods where growth slows but doesnt really stop.....but im growing in a basement with no seasonal clues either.....

It was going strong.

It wasn't too much of a loss because I can still see the tubers through the pot (it's clear and it's got holes everywhere).

Yeah, I read an ICPS article online that said you can give the reniformis the cold dry treatment, and then all of a sudden heat them up a little and give them fertilizer! Mine's basically stopped growing, since it's been outside.

I'm gonna use some maxsea fertilizer, like I did during the summer.

By the way, my geminiloba got frozen. :( Rrrrr....

There might be one healthy stolon left, and I can always get a new one. I'm also getting 2 forms of U. striatula this spring.
