Kaleem again all I can say is fantastic I wish for healthy plants like yours. I think I should again put them in ground. Where should I locate them? How much sun? How appart the tubers?
By the way what was the size of your tubers?

Sorry sir
Actually window was corrupted and I was out of my PC, its okay now.
Your tubers are wel healthy and you will not believe each and every one is ready for giving blooms. Small start even 2cm in size can grow a good plant.
I always plant mine tubers in the end of April but the weather of Lahore is little bit hotter if we compare it with the weather of Mirpur (A.K), so you can plant them in the mid of April.
If you dont mind, just send me one of the smallest tuber for an experiment and I hope that will give us blooms.
Can you share the photo of the corner of your garden, where you will plant these?
You can grow these in a big size container , big size Piala (bowls) are available in the market. mix equal part of cow manure, sand , bhal and add a little DIP fertilizer and that should be well drained. keep this container under a tree which has a light shade (Full shade is not good for this and open sun may burn the plant).
