July 23, at 2.5 weeks old, caudex was buried on 3 Thai soco’s and 1 Crispum x arabicum. The objective of this experiment was to see if the caudex would grow fatter than the others. Perlite and cut water bottles were used. As they grew taller, more perlite was added.
Aug. 23, at 7 weeks old, caudex was "unearthed," perlite and water bottles removed.
Results: Caudex did not grow fatter, and in fact, was skinnier than others. One of the Thai soco’s and the 1 Crispum x arabicum are dying from rot due to excessive rains.
Another experiment on the remaining Thai soco's will be conducted in about a week.
@RCanada, I will try not to kill any more of your Thai soco's!
The one remaining Crispum x arabicum is fatter than the soco's.
