Question about Cuelbra

How long until it sets flower buds. It has been Y'd since coming out of the GH in spring and still no buds.

Are there small scars, where the buds was supposed to be? Several critters suck plant juice from the stalks of mm long buds and cause them to fall of ... broadmites, earwigs, cupid bugs ...

That would kill me to be that close to having blooms and they don't show up

OK
It is killing me cause my Desiree and HG have Y'd and no flowers
So I know how you feel

Mine bloomed two or three times, small numbers of blooms, the summer I had it and had started from a small rooted cutting from a member. The mites sure did like it.

Ouch I had a major attack of mites but was able to get rid of them completely with hot water from the hose about 2 months ago

WOW.....that is a major attack of mites!

Oh gosh, nasty looking mess of them you had there. Glad you got rid of them.

Good luck, Donna. Mine is just sitting there. I don't think it's grown any since I got it.

I may have to get one of these. So you had hot water in your hose, Donna?

very hot when it sits in the sun. I hosed it every afternoon, washed out some of the top layer of dirt and kept all leaves out of it.
