Hi,
I live in an area of hot and humid summers; I've lost winter-growers when I
put seedlings outside for summer. I've also lost them if I let them go
dormant; they just didn't have enough reserves for the first dormancy.
Now, I keep them indoors under lights for the first summer if they are cranky
sorts. I keep them on the dry side but still growing. I think they would
like cooler nights than I give them, but as long as they have some air
conditioning they mostly do OK. I keep wondering if there is a better way.
Are there guidelines for how hot is too hot and how much humidity is too
much?
How do other folks in hot summer climates deal with this?
Cordially,
Joe, zone 9, Narcissus 'February Gold' is blooming in the lawn.
