Stored them in a refrigerator and planted in pots on 1st, 15th and 30th of November. A few were also planted in ground with the last batch.
They all almost caught up and bloomed one after another but not at the same interval.
The percentage that bloomed was best in those in the ground.
All of those in pots were harvested a week ago while those in the ground are still green.
The results are as follows;
Some developed a larger corm over the old corm as the center two, some divided in to smaller corms as the two on the sides.
Almost all had many small corm-lets between the old and new corms.
The inference drawn from above is;
Planting in ground give better results.
As all corms planted at the same time do not bloom at the same time, so they are not good for planting in beds and should be planted in a corner for cut flowers.
Only large corms will bloom so plant small ones for fattening only.
Some bodies tell me what to do with the little seed like corms. Will they grow in to blooming size corms and if so in how many years?
When should I re plant them for fastest growth?
