Hello, Here are some informations concerning the items I donated to the current EU BX: Haemanthus albiflos seed should be sown as soon as possible, sow superficially and bury only half of the fleshy seeds. Keep evenly moist but not stagnant wet. There are different forms of the species: this seed comes from a fairly large and long leaved form with upright foliage. Originally from the collection of the late John Lavranos. Gesneriads: plant the rhizomes as soon as possible. They start best with gentle bottom heat. They can be started in relatively small pots which would fit into a propagator. Do not overwater before they sprout but they most not dry out after starting. Gesneriads do not at all mind being transplanted during growth so you can pot them up into bigger pots once they have sprouted.. All offered are summer growing with dry winter dormancy. Some will go dormant fairly late in the season. Best stored dry in their pots in the substrate not cooler than at least 10°C, better 15°C. Amorphophallus atroviridis: Each tuber produces only one leaf, but none if it flowers. Attractive foliage, best started with some gentle bottom heat. Propagates easily by offsets. The supplied tubers should produce a leaf and not a flower. Summer growing and dry winter dormancy Cyrtanthus montanus bulbils: The mother plant has never flowered with me but produced many bulbils, I am not very successful with Cyrtanthus. Bulbils may take their time before they sprout a leaf. Evergreen. Gladiolus dalenii 'Boone' According to various sources in the internet this is the frost hardiest form of this variable species. Named after a locality in the US state of North Carolina where it was found. I have not tested its hardiness. Personally I find the pale colours of the flowers less attractive than more intensely coloured forms, therefore I donated the entire lot. Summer growing, winter dormant. Oxalis triangularis Red Leaf: Very easy plant, summer growing, winter dormant but can be almost evergreen as a houseplant. Best colouring of the leaves is achieved outdoors in full sun. hardy in mild winter climates but so far not invasive. Small white flowers add charm. Solanum jamesii: Wild potato, vigorous grower, white typical potato flowers. Attractive in a large pot or hanging basket, shoots will trail. Produces lots of tubers and may well become invasive in the right conditions, so best kept confined in a pot. Solanum can be extremely toxic, so I would not eat the tubers.... Happy growing!
