Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Fertilizer questions, 1 by VA_Wild_Rose

Hello all,

I have some questions about my plumies. I have three... all purchased as cuttings and rooted in 2007. I live in an apartment and they all come in and are allowed to go dormant in a cool room each winter. The white one bloomed in '07, none of them bloomed in '08, and so far, none in '09. The plants look good (I think)... no pests so far, and big, healthy looking leaves. I've been feeding bloom booster since bringing them out in the spring. No... I take that back. I fed general purpose MG for the first couple of weeks, until they had some leaves, then switched to the BB. They are in full sun on my blacony. Below is a phot just taken.

I wanted to ask what else I could be doing. I've been reading alot about the homemade brew that many DGers use... see this thread in Brugs: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/956114/. My mom and I even made up a batch for her outside plants and I brought some home to try out... (my brug isn't blooming either). I wanted to get some feedback from the plumie people before I tried it out.

Any and all advice is appreciated and will be regarded highly! Thanks in advance!

Hope all are enjoying their weekend!
