I have to up my growing game. I managed to get a few to grow, after killing almost a dozen seedlings at the 4 -6 leaf stage. Composting will help! Thanks!
Even when your compost is not fully ready, make a bit of compost tea when watering for a free boost (similar to adding nutri-grow/miracle-grow, etc).

My plants now are between 12" and 32" high. One has nice sticky flowers. But someone who lives near my sister has 4 plants that look like Bamboo! Easily 2 feet over the fence. Great, huge leaves!
Totally illegal too. You can grown them in your yard, but the neighbours can't legally see them. If the public can see them, they are illegal.
Not only can they not be visible, if your neighbour has any children, even occasional visitors, they need to be in a fully locked enclosure.
I keep mine in the green house, they separate my failing orchids and failing vanilla.
Anybody got tips on manual pollination...or do I just have to learn by killing enough of them?
