A new season

At this time of year you look at your auriculas with dismay. Frozen pots and many leaves that look either dead or distinctly yellowing......


Don't panic as this is perfectly normal at this time ofyear and the plants need little attention. Providing the pots are not too wet they will happily tolerate freezing temperatures and in 4-6 weeks will be growing on with renewed vigour. A little tidy up helps but avoid watering unless pots are dust dry and certainly not when a hard frost is forecast.

Using either fingers or forceps pull carefully down on the old leaves...

which should pull away easily leaving a healthy looking plant......
