Hi, i live in Jarabacoa, Dominican Republic . I was given a group of hippeaatrum bulbs ( see picture).I think They have rcently been dug up from the ground to give to me. what should i do to have them flower faster. Should i plant them now? Or should i store them dry for a few weeks? We dont have very defined seasons here, although definetly cooler in winter so im not sure how to follow seasonal advice on gardening. Thanks,
David
Do you have a cool, dry, dark place they could be stored? Optimum temperature between 4-13 deg C. Store them there for a month or so, then pot them up and bring them into the light and warmth.
Yes. I could store them in a dry place at about 18 but for 5 or 6 degrees i could put them in the refrigerator
They cannot handle freezing. You should probably do more research to confirm, but I think the fridge is a good place. Make them think that winter has happened.
great .. Thanks...
thanks for the info
