Talkback: Growing auriculas
have lost count of the number of auriculas that the vine weevils have destroyed. I keep my collection in terracotta pots in cat litter trays in a 4 tier mini greenhouse. The cat litter trays are great for watering as no water drips onto the plants by oldchippy

varieties or trailing look fine. Vine weevils can be a pest- you would see the tell-tale leaf notches if the pot got infested. Hardy ones can survive a reasonable winter in large, well insulated pots, but I always take cuttings of mine every year by MS NICK
