How big a pot is that in Frank?

Also realized that these curled leaves might be due to giving the plant too much nitrogen.......Not sure what to do when you overfertilize with nitrogen. Hopefully, the plant will be able to consume nitrogen and continue to grow. This may also be the reason (i.e., too much nitrogen) why I don't have any blooms.

Are the curled leaves brittle when you touch them? Have you had broad mites yet? They can cause that, usually attack the new growth first.

Could be a calcium deficiency too. Add some to your soil and see.

When I OD on N, my leaves get real dark green. And I have burned more than a few with too much fertilizer. If it is bad I change the dirt. If not, I just flush the soil like crazy. Brugs are pretty amenable to most treatment.

Where we live, they tend to need more sun to bloom well. I have my EP in full sun. I find they need at least 4 hours to bloom well.

I love Alameda! I haven't been over for a bit. I keep meaning to go to the Point for the antique show but seems every Sunday they have it, I have other plans. Maybe I will make it in July!
