Really beautiful, bought a tuber earlier this year nothing happened so dug it up and it had rotted, any suggestions why?

Superb, mate!
Is this another indoor special?
18 Jul, 2013
Cheers mate, it can grow outdoors after all cold weather has gone, but I grow it as an indoor special to be on the safe side.

Gotcha.

Very jealous SL! The mice had all my G.superba.
At least I still have the orange form that you sent me.

Fabulous, SL!
I planted two tubers earlier this year...the plants are about two metres tall now - but no sign of any flowers!!!
How tall do they have to get? The man who sold me the tubers said that they would go from planting to flowering in about 7 weeks, lol!

Thanks Karen, they get to about 6 or 7 feet before flowering, they need loads of sun I find.
31 Jul, 2013
I've got six or seven feet! lol!...of vines!
They're in the "garden room", which could be described as a conservatory...in full sun for the best part of the day...
But, they keep curling around the ...TV, lol!!! :)
31 Jul, 2013
Lol, you should be having flowers then, or at least some buds..
31 Jul, 2013
Thanks :-)
