Q.Rhubarb stopped growing
Rhubarb is only growing 6 inches long but I have huge leaves. I have one plant that gets lots of sun but it won’t grow any longer than 6 inches before it stops growing.
My research indicates that rhubarb with short stalks and huge leaves is the result of too much nitrogen (water soluble fertilizer or manure). In such a case, it is recommended to increase the potassium levels by applying sulphate of potash.

I also saw mention that some varieties of rhubarb will send up short stems when they need to be divided (is your rhubarb bed getting too crowded?). Information on dividing rhubarb can be found here:
