giving balance feed while blooming so that it has good leaves for providing sunlight for the bulb when blooming finishes and laves are fully grown give some pettasium helpers for the plant to get ready for next year, also let the leaves dry to set back some nutritions in the bulb

plant the bulb in mid september in a good drainage pot with chippings in the bottom and good drainage (bulb planting) compost let the tip of the bulb and shoot stick out just a little out of the compost
in about 5c and dark for 2 months to root more
than about 1 month i about 15c if the small shoot has fattened up
then when they have gotten long about 7 to 8 cm bring in warmer temp for them to get longer and bloom
