Thanks for the welcome and info!
Greg, I’m planning on getting small (young) semps, for the exact reason you stated.
I’m a constant target of Murphy’s Law. As such if I would get an older one, it would be the most amazing semp I’ve ever seen, then it would bloom a week later.
Maybe you would know the answer to a question I‘m still unsure about? Is it true that rosettes will grow much larger if all the chicks are removed? I read in a blog that the removal of all chicks forces the hen to put more energy into growth instead of reproduction. Then while I was trying to find that original blog again, I ran into another one that said essentially the same thing (but with different reasoning). Is this true? And if it is, do you know why?
Also, is there only 1 species of Sanford’s Hybrid? It appears so and that’s pretty cool. I’ve got one on order from a while back when I knew next to nothing about semps and didn’t even know it grew large.
Yeah, it will be probably months away but I will share photos when I can. I have to get my plants in (mid March through end of April), then plant 110 feet of beds (not sq feet but length of beds), then buy a replacement for my dead camera.
Thanks again,
J.C.
