Group Purchase Blooms(Hamad/UK)

[Syed Adnan]

Normal room temperatures even 40C plus cannot kill bulbs or seeds. Moisture, dryness,fungus, light exposure can effect them.

What are the chances the imported bulbs are alive ?? i have planted shriveled disfigured bulbs or corms to be specific of freesia before and they all sprouted no fatalities

[Farhan Ahmed]

Bassera Elegans (Coral Drops) Sprouting within 7 days of planting.

[Farhan Ahmed]

I am expecting it to bloom somewhere around December, Not spring
I have planted around 8 bulbs in 14 in Pot for a fuller look.
I recommend 50% sand as also recommended by various sources on internet.
planting depth 3 in

Mine not yet sprouted, planted for more than a week(May be died too as coral drops and freesia are sproouted planted simultaneously). Will dug out this week end to check?

Same situation here...babianas and sparaxis dead, coral drops out of eight planted 5 have survived others rotted due to over watering (They need to be kept dry as they are Mexican natives), scilla has started to grow very slow...Ipehions have also sprouted (some bulbs)..Ixias are dormant

Tahir Sparaxis are very hardy bulbs, they should not die like this.I have planted them in past, leaving then un disturb for years.They multiply very fast.Give them sharp drainage.But one thing is there they were in my house at Abbottabad.I left them in the house after sale out.
