Gardening is a passion for me. So far I have cultivated container garden, now developing a garden around our house, mostly on weekends.

@drumadixit: I have got two large clumps of tuberose rhizomes. Can I sow the bulbs at Jan end or do I mandatorily need to wait till March to sow? I live in Kolkata. Zone 13

In kolkata, I guess you should be able to plant them in Jan. I have them in the ground. It reminds me that I need to tend them too @somnathsarkar

@drumadixit : Ma'am my 2 pots of tuberose are all lush leaves and no buds yet. Should I add potash or phosphate? I prefer not to use inorganic ferts but time is running out. 😐
