Rose Mallow question - February 23rd, 2007 at 10:51 PM
This plant is new to me. It so beautiful. The flowers are huge. I purchased it this past August. It was about two feet tall and the trunk is about 3/4 to 1" in diameter. I kept it in full sun and kept the soil moist. It did great and had several flowers. I pruned it back to about 8" tall in mid December when it stopped blooming and started looking poorly. It has not shown any sign of life to date. I have it in a five gallon pot in full sun, and soak it about once every couple of weeks. Am I watering it too much? Or is it too soon to see new growth? I also wondered if I pruned it too soon. Thanks for any advice or tips. Here are some pics.....
