Gita, do you suppose the newer hybrids, I am talking 8 to 10 years old or maybe younger, have a shorter life span than the first hybrids that were developed? It seems those we got a few years ago, Twilight, and that group have a shorter span than others. I have no idea why these plants are all of a sudden looking sad. It isn't that we have not taken care of them, but I just can not figure out why they are dropping their segments and why they are shriviling up the way they are. Any thoughts?
I think I am going to begin to get online and see if I can find some new people to talk to and see what they say too. We should be able to come up with an answer. The professional growers are not going to tell us anything I would doubt.
