Do you keep the bed dry during the winter @Herts Mike? I was visiting my mother over the holidays and checked on an A. americana which she has on her balcony for most of the year. It was swimming! Must have been swimming for the better part of the last few months with all the rain. Hasn't really bee...

If they have leaves I give a little water, if they've dropped all their leaves they don't get water until I see buds developing, usually somewhere in april or may.

I've sown them a few times, and have a Madagascan baobab and several A. digitata. Best germination I got when I sanded down the hard outer layer until I got through the hard shell, then an overnight soak I believe. They are quite variable in dropping leaves, last winter I had one which kept some lea...

I did let my youngish plants dry out by mistake this autumn and they shrivelled alarmingly but recovered well within a few days of watering. I won't be doing it again. Yeah, when they're growing they'll definitely show it when they are water stresses. Leaves go straight up, but they can recover qui...

I've brought all my A. polyphylla into the frost-free greenhouse. Many people say these don't like dry roots, and enjoy a good watering. Last winter I barely watered my polyphylla's when in the greenhouse, and they actually came through looking really well. I gave them maybe a little splash of water...

Mine are all in pots, and I've moved them all into the greenhouse which is kept above 0. Tried several outdoors last winter, but they all perished. Here are 8 of them, these are a bit bigger than most others, but not much. I still have around 20 of them, but need to lose some next year as I can't al...

@AllanA Have those flowered in their pots? I would keep this one in the greenhouse, and take it in (or in the conservatory) when it drop below -1C or -2C. It can probably take colder temps, but at this size it's quite easy to move. I've been keeping mine in a greenhouse which is kept above freezing....

Any suggestions for suitable fans for a 8x12 ft greenhouse?
