According to the Link posted:
" Cirrhopetalum Elizabeth Ann 'Buckleberry' is quite vigorous in growing and blooming. I bought this plant as a five-growth division in 1995, and now it has numerous leads which produced 397 flowers in the fall of 2002. The plant does very well planted in a hanging wooden basket with New Zealand sphagnum moss. The plant is kept moist at all times and fertilized routinely with a balanced fertilizer. Each spring, the plant receives a moderate dose of blood meal, which really seems to boost the growth. Culture includes bright indirect light (2000 to 3000 footcandles), temperatures 65 to 90F, and humidity 70 to 90%.
Blood meal!!?? I've never heard of this before? Can anyone explain?
