Amy here's the pic you've been waiting for...

I wanted to see how large I could grow just one AV after seeing all the large show plants in the old AVSA magazines a friend gave back several years ago.
I loosely followed the advice in one of the AVSA magazines articles & this is the results.

This is a pic of my largest grower so far...it's got ok shape & form but would you look at the size of this tiger!
It does have a few marred leaves on it from the move and it's way to green but it does have blooms coming up. All in all it's a keeper...lol

If I can find the old pic or two I'll add it for comparison. I purchased this as a baby plant in a 2 in pot and have been moving it up into a new pot every 6 months or so. It has always been potted in a self watering pot and mildly fertilized "when I remembered" with Peter's 20-20-20 and whatever fertilizer happened to be in the mix when I potted it.


Enjoy,
MsC
