Tea? (Part 1)

[longers]

[sorry for all the questions] Cheers mjones, it does flower easily. Needs repotting though. When's the best time?

I'll look out for the seeds. Do they fall from the flower or should they be collected? Are they easy to germinate?

On mine they form little berry like fruit, which they burst open and reveal the seeds. Left to themselves the seeds simply germinate the following year where they fall. Other species are much harder to grow from seed though; can't be sure yours is exactly the same type. I'll try take a picture of some of mine when they flower.

Take a look at this and see if it is the same as yours:

Re-potting: the advice I've read is to do this at the end of the dormant season, just before they start growing again i.e. March. Don't disturb once flower buds start to form, repotting can also be done in the late summer.

Thank you - young men in just their pants - swoonage and vapourising.

Wafflycat you are so organised, I'd never think to carry jpgs of antacids just in case of an attack of virtual billiousnessnessness!

I was a boy scout when I was younger.

Got trouble with stray dogs in Chippppppenham then?

 

[Milo]

We do have a tendency for zombie ankle biting terriers in small villages round my way.
My foot of fury tends to work though.

 

[Milo]

Summer must be finally here its warm outside.
If only I had a proper set of lights...
