i have tried growing the following zingib.: globba winitti and
kaempferia roscoeana indoors but they have never bloomed or grown much=
at all for me. i just got another large globba from logee's, which
had an inflorescence in the large stalk. the other stalks have
refused to grow so far and the plant seems to be declining. last
year, i had one that never bloomed and this year tried to come back
after dormancy but has not grown much than a few thin stalks and has
now died. with kaempferia, it grew a few leaves but then went dormant=
(or died, i'm not sure).
what tips can you provide to grow these guys indoors?
i just got another alstroemeria pulchella from logee's. it's rather
large and keeps growing, new stalks keep coming out but it hasn't
bloom at all. this plant is grown underlights (2 40 watt tubes).
last year's alstroemeria never came back after dormanccy.
any tips, suggestions, advice will be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance.
