Hi,
Today I retained a Cobra Lily from my loving grandparents, its not doing so well, (they bought it at a nursury that used the tray method,) I know how to take care of it (soil, sun, water, etc.) except on dormancy. When do I do it, and what do I do? I read that you can put it in a refrigerator, but I am unsure if that is correct. If you do put it in a fridge, what temp, and how long do I keep it in the fridge? It looks like it has stopped growing fast, it has 2 good looking pitchers, and a couple not so good looking pitchers, it has a peat/perlite medium (alot of peat, and not that much perlite) but it seems to be doing ok. My greenhouse that I should keep it in resembles the climate of where they are native too. The plant seems to be sort of mature (or almost there) with a large pot and many clipped stems (probably 10 or so). I would love to show a picture, but my computer wont poct the pics that I try to post, maybe I'll have someone post it for me. Sorry all the info is so fanned out, i am just trying to get in all the details. Thanks alot,
Kevin
