    Hi

    I have sewn Red Hot Poker this year in an unheated propagater, indoors. They have grown to about 3" and I've transferred them to pots, still indoors. Ever since then they have all flopped over. I'm not sure if they are still growing. Has anyone any advice?

    Thanks

    the problem with Kniphofia is they dislike cold, wet conditions.
    if the compost was chilly and then watered this may be the problem, keep them indoors,away from the cold and do not over water, when you do water,do it from the bottom. if they still look fairly healthy even though they may be drooped, they should perk up in a few days

    Thanks for that. I think I may have overwatered. I will leave them to dry out for a while and put them into the sunshine.
