Always loved to potter in the garden but only really in the last couple of years, have I embraced it by redesigning our space and growing from seed

I was having a tidy up in the greenhouse and checked the box with my bulb and she's decided it's time to get out of bed! So potted up 😂😂

comment
hayleyaj

Once the flowers finish, cut the flower spike right back to the base but leave the leaves. Continue watering as needed, a feed and wait! It may or may not happen. But they can flower until the end of April and can produce a 2nd flush 😄 @scaryskates

Do you know how to get a flower to rebloom? Mine will only grow leaves after dormant storage @hayleyaj

comment
midnightgardener

That will be fantastic in bloom 😊😊

7w
comment
hayleyaj

Give it a feed and continue to water sparingly when the soil is almost dry. 68-70 degrees in a bright spot, once the flower spike appears increase your watering as it will get more thirsty 😊 @saco
