Hello Group,
I am seeking advice.
I grow Echinopsis hybrids in UK in a greenhouse.
On some of my Echinopsis with large flowers, I have a problem.
Flower buds will form and start to open but then the flower base will break
My plants are well fed with water and fertiliser.
Other plants hold their flowers perfectly at 45 degrees.
It has just happened with Echinopsis Djinni (Schick).
Is this poor varieties with flowers too large!
Sometimes the flower falls to the horizontal or below!
Do I need to water the plant as it as the bud is forming for the last 12 hours
as the flower is swelling?
Your help and advice is much appreciated.
