I took it as law because it meant less work. :)<br /><br />Peter: They get some miracle-gro once in a while when I remember, but they get a fair amount of neglect. Sometimes get really dry, at other times they sit in water for a week -- It surprises me every year when they not only survive but wake up and bloom.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393082652312828458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-20035567693986141572015-01-28T00:51:24.458-06:002015-01-28T00:51:24.458-06:00Amazing!

Then I have to go through the motions of re-potting them in early to mid-winter. Just yesterday I potted up the final four of my bulbs. I'll have to try just leaving them in their pots next year to save myself some work! I hope you'll post pictures of them blooming soon!

Ive read they should be around 50F in their dormancy but our garage gets below freezing. I put it in the basement but apparently never gets cold enough to trigger a bloom. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
