There are a few things:
Firstly the plant in itself is fine and nice enough but I think it could be better. The trumpets are starting to go brown already and they aren't erect they keep flopping over (they aren't full of flies either) and bent out at funny angles. Also on the tops on some of the trumpets there are these small dots of black that look like treacle - what is this?
I thought I should thin it out a bit by cutting out the oldest looking trumpets, but I am scared of cutting out the winter trumpets - the phyllodia. Not really sure how to deal with this dormancy idea either - 3 to 4 months?!?!?!?!?!.
