Hello Benoit,

Have patience. I bought some mature species of Gethyllis and they let me 
wait for two years.
They are wintergrowers in northern Europe. I grow them by min. 13C and they 
grow and flowering well.
I use led light for about 12 houres a day. Take care with water, wait for 
the leaves before watering.
It is not possible to grow them outside in northern Europe, they will rot 
away in a week time.
