1.<\/p>
a)\u00a0Leave bulbs to dry out for 3 months in a dry place with no direct sunlight<\/p>
b) Sprinkle Sevin powder around them to prevent worms and caterpillars.<\/p>
c) Do not cut off leaves, they give strength to the bulbs<\/p>
By the end of 3 months, all leaves are brown and dead.\u00a0<\/p>
2.<\/p>
a)\u00a0Clean off all dead leaves.<\/p>
b) Repot bulbs in pots approx. 2″ larger around bulbs<\/p>
c) Soil must be light, loose and well drained<\/p>
d) Bulbs must be one third above the soil, do not bury<\/p>
e) Remove small bulbs around mother plant and plant in other pot – these may take 2 to 3 years to grow and flower.\u00a0 They will be identical to the mother bulb.<\/p>
2.<\/p>
a)\u00a0Place pots with bulbs into good light – not direct sun, for approx. 2 days.<\/p>
b) Water well with liquid bloom booster fertilizer<\/p>
c) After 2 days, place them in full sun<\/p>
d) Water every day, they must not dry out<\/p>
e) Give them liquid bloom booster fertilizer every 3rd and 4th day (half strength)<\/p>
4.<\/p>
a)\u00a0Buds will be showing 2 or 3 stalks<\/p>
b) Some will grow foliage<\/p>
c) It will take approx. 6 weeks for the flowers to be in full bloom<\/p>
d) Some may flower later, some earlier.<\/p>
e) To slow down the flowering process, place in fridge for a couple of days<\/p>
f) Bring back out in good light but not in full sun<\/p>
5.<\/p>
a)\u00a0Black seeds are at the top of the stalk<\/p>
b) Place them in pot with loose soil and cover to grow<\/p>
c) These will be all different colours, single, semi double and double – not like the mother bulb.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
