THANKS!!!... I use a balanced fertilizer, here we don´t have the chance to find a great variety about fertilizers, but I fertilize once a week.
It sounds logical that after two spikes from last year (you see the spikes remains when bloomed in August and then in December) the plant is exhausted. By the way I started to don´t wait that flowers begin to wilt to cut the spike. I prefer when the last bud is open, enjoy the spike for one week while this last bud is stretching and then I cut the spike. The plant is using all its energies to keep the flowers alive, so I think I can help to keep that energy to continue growing. And I enjoy the cut flowers in my office for more than 2 weeks...
Again thank you... I really appreciate it.
