I have a Laelio Cat (Emperor Wade) which has not flowered yet. About 1 month ago it started 3 new growths. I was spraying daily since I did not want the low humidity dry ou the growth. Suddenly 1 of the growths turned brown and then black. The other 2 seem to have stopped their growth although have not turned black. Was it the watering? Can anybody please help?

Primroses give your house and garden a bright look. Not only are primroses among the first perennials to bloom—some even flower in late winter—but their very name implies earliness: Primula derives from the Latin word for “early.” On the cusp of spring we’re so starved for color that we can hardly resist the English primroses.
