      I have a Thunia Alba. Each year it produces a new shoot in Spring . This year a second shoot appeared in mid August this shoot is about 2inches long. As Thunias rest for the Winter what do I do.? Let it rest as usual or keep watering?

      Hi Una,
      Not usual alright to have a new shoot so late. I’d keep watering until the old stems drop leaves as usual and then let to go dormant the new shoot will probably stop growing, but I think if you don’t let it rest the entire plant will suffer
