I am sure my tetrapanex rex is starting to grow?

Post by sanatic1234 »

I am not sure if it is just my eyes playing trick on me or should that be my mind playing tricks on me :lol: Anyway went down to the bottom of the garden to today when going to my shed just had a quick glance at my tetrapanex rex and noticed that the leaves on the growth points were looking bigger than what they did last week. Surely this can't be as i have not exactly had mild temps this past week really only the odd day has been nice.

Mine's definitely on the move. Wasn't there a discussion about these last year where some people suggested that these things respond more to day length than temperature?

Mine have started new growth (I note some slug/caterpillar damage). Still have some of last years leaves on them as well.

I have 5 growth points also derrick but thing that got me wondering a bit is that 3 growth points look to be growing? but two are not? I am quite surprised on how many members are growing, i will keep a close eye on it to see if it is or not.

There probably was a discussion on the forum last year leunerj, it is only late last year that i started to use HTUK again, i did go quite for a while on the forum as i was using facebook HTUK a lot but i was having issues on the group for some reason. So back to the forum again. :-) facebook can take over your life a bit.

Sorry looks like I have told a lie, I just checked that link dave posted regarding the topic from last year and I made a post on it in February so looks like it wasn't end of the year when i starting using the forum again. :o Sorry for the lie there.
