What are you buying?

Bulbs are a form of dormant plant which when planted in the correct conditions produce a full plant over time. Plants that naturally survive as bulbs will usually die down into the ground when their season is finished in order to store their energy to return the following year.

Planting

Fill the pot with 2/3 of the potting soil. Press the bulbs, with the tip pointing upward, firmly into the soil. Cover the bulbs with the remaining potting soil but leave the tip of the bulbs free from soil. Place the pot in a cool, dark and ventilated spot. When the buds are 5cm high (after 10-12 weeks) the pot can be placed in full daylight at normal room temperature. Keep the soil moist but do not overwater. Turn the pot occasionally as the flowers will grow towards the light.
