Sir
I have checked all my saved photos but hav'not found any photo of Spreklia by wich we can see its leaves. But I can explain here the size of the leaves of my plant. These were about one CM wide and 10 to 12 inches long. Size of the bulb is about 4 to 5cm in circumference, whole circle size.
I went to Mirpur last week for separating Amazon lily but amazed to see the flower buds, it means the digging season of this plant is September. I will separate mine in September for Forum friends. Here are few photos inwhich we can see, how can we camoflodge this plant from hard weather conditions.
May be these photos are helpful for my other Amazon lily growing friends/members.

I have never seen such healthy foliage on my plants
What do you feed them and how often?

I have re-Planted my Spreklia and Amazon bulbs. Amazon lily is now planted in Perlite + Peat, half & half, hoping for the best.

Just come back from my native city Mirpur.

I have not mixed any thing with common soil (matti), but my plant is very healthy and give me blooms every year. In my opinion, my plant is happy only because of its protected atmosphere (From hot and cold weather). Here are its latest blooms.
