hi nancy,

when the temps get in the heigh 80's to the ninety's artic-
hokes go dorment, cut the leaf's about 2 to 3 inches from
the soil line and water every 7 day's .

when fall comes you will see new growth and then water and fertilizer as you have done up untill now and you shoud get chokes early winter.

Mine are starting to do that also. I left one on to flower but will cut it back next week. I already have new growth coming up. I've had this plant for over 2 years.

I have the same problem - got one center choke while the other 1/2 dozen dried when very small. Curious if nancy's problem corrected itself? did you trim it back?

thanks for the feedback.

I'll trim it back today. We haven't had a LOT of hot weather (or any weather for that matter!), but I'll give it a try. Thanks! Nancy

my neighbor gave me a starter off her artichoke plant when she handed it to me the leaves were already wilted over the side of the pot, i water it and its still wilted, and the leaves at the edges are drying and starting to get a little brownish
how do i bring it back to life???

I'm not too familiar with artichoke...

In general when taking cuttings, it can be very helpful to remove most of the leaves (all but the tiniest new leaves) to prevent water loss.

Keep in full shade, keep the soil moist, but not soaked. Misting it a few times a day may also help.
