Hi and welcome to the Forum!

We'll need a little more information: where are you (Hemisphere? Climate?), what is the status of the bulb (resting/in the green/ with/without roots/ adult or juvenile....) - everything helps.

Mike

Sometimes they flower better with a tight root run.

I'd re-pot only with a small increase in diameter.

Hi all

I have managed to secure a Brunsvigia bosmaniae and wanted to ask what it's watering requirements are. It's been planted today but I haven't watered it in yet

Last of the Tulipa, first Crinum

Tulipa sprengeri from scattered seed about 6 years ago, seed from Alan Street, makes it even more special.  He liked to scatter it along the roadsides.  

Crinum 'Schreck' that has been in the same pot at least 8 years, probably needs a little more space but blooms seem unfazed.  Scheck 6.24.jpgTulipa sprengeri.jpg

7 beautiful foods to plant in your garden


Do you want to grow food in your garden without overhauling it into an allotment? Or wish you had a veg patch but don't have the time? You can have the best of both worlds, by scattering edible plants among your borders or in pots on the patio.

Quote from: Diane Whitehead on Yesterday at 05:53:23 PMMaybe just the ones they grow in Iceland.

Potassium is radioactive, bananas contain potassium, hence why they are a good addition to compost.
