Hey everyone,
I'm relatively new to growing vft and other cp. I ordered a b-52 which should be arriving tomorrow and I have a few questions. I have been reading up on vft care and more specifically the dormancy period. I live in southern Michigan (zone 6a I believe) and get lots of snow each year as well as subzero temperatures.
1. What month should I induce the dormancy indoors (snow probably isn't good) and what is a good light I can purchase to use during dormancy? Also would my garage (30°F or lower in winter) or basement (around 60-65°F during winter) be better?
2. It's super hot here right now (85-90+°F) so how much time outdoors is appropriate to start?
3. Does anyone know of a good large pot to grow multiple vft in?
Thanks for all the help
-Tom
