Craig in York, PA repeatedly loses D. adelae despite south window + CFL, 60°F, rainwater, dome. Jeff Dallas: confused by previous advice—if cut to soil, no leaves to dry. Asks for photo. Shows his 2-year-old kitchen window plant cut to soil twice (recently fall).
Follow-up: Craig cut back Jan 12, no sprouts yet (south window, 60W bulb, 60°F). Jeff: "Three weeks to a month is usually when the new shoots begin... little green sprigs... Once you see those green sprouts, the growth picks up nicely."
Good Growing!
