Duds? Max tenuifolia & Zns Cynosure 'Blue Birds'

[shadytrake]

Have you ever thought 1 or 2 of your chids were just Duds?

I have a Max tenuifolia and a Zns Cynosure 'Blue Birds' in semi-hydro since May this year and they have done nothing, nada, zilch except maybe root growth.

I have dutifully left the Max alone (hates to be disturbed) and fertilized weakly...every 2 or 3 weeks.

20-10-20 BG Urea free for the Max

20-20-20 BG for the Zns.

We have tested the water and it is perfectly fine. I have them in the right light. I tested the temperature.

Shouldn't I see some type of foliage growth, p-bulb, and not just roots?

I'm wondering if they are duds. They aren't suffering...they just sit there and do nothing.

I really want to poke them into doing something by next season. otherwise....they might have to go.

Any ideas? Maybe my fertilizer is off.

I had phals which I transplanted into SH when they were not sending out a new flush of roots, and they languished for almost a year before sending out new roots and actually growing again. I'd say if they aren't declining in health let them be and give them some more time.
