And a mix containing pumice is likely to be counterproductive. Like many other bulbs and unlike epiphytes, snowdrops grow in rather dense, rich soils and many (perhaps all) like a certain amount of summer moisture. My advice: plant them where you want them to grow, water well ONCE, and forget. Winter chilling may be an issue; if you think so, site them on the north side of your house or a shed where they will get no direct sun in winter, thus keeping the soil colder. _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/…
