Planting Guide
Plant: March 8 cm deep. Spacing 6 cm. Flowers June-September. Height 40 cm.
Perennial. Plant in a deep pot (15-20 cm) without drainage holes, a large jar or an orchid pot is idea. Use Sphagnum moss and sharp sand mixed 50/50. The bulbs are quite naturally small, the roots come from the top of the bulb, plant with the most pointed side of the bulb facing upwards. Grow indoors for the first year keeping away from direct strong sunlight. It is important to keep the growing medium slightly damp during the growing period.
Propagation: Once the plant has died back you will find that you have a few extra bulbs attached to the roots, allow to naturally come away, and store over winter in a cool dark place, keeping the bulbs dry during December and January. Early February wrap in slightly damp sphagnum moss, (the same way we supplied the bulbs), once showing signs of growth, replant.
