Bonjour,
Pourriez-vous m'aider? J'ai acheté des ampoules de Hermodactylus tuberosa. Je ne sais pas dans quel sens les planter. Voici la photo. Où est le haut et où est le bas?

It can often be tricky to work out which way is "up" with bulbs, corms and tubers! I think of the trouble we've had in the past with certain Arisaema corms!
It's a while since O planted any of these Hermodactylus/ Iris so I can't remember which is the "right way up".
My advice for any time when you are not sure is to plant them sideways - in this case "flat" - be sure that the plant will know itself which direction to grow. It may take a year or so to settle down to flower, by the way - but I hope you will get flowers next year. Ours are growing quite happily in a sand bed in a glasshouse, they must be around two to three inches deep in the sand.

Hello Fred,
I would say: 'haut' (growing point) - vers le bas de l'image.
When in doubt, 'plante à l'horizontale' ;)

J'ai trouvé réponse sur Internet. J'ai vu des images. La bonne façon est couché dans le substrat. Ensuite, s' ils se plaisent, ils peuvent devenir envahissants. J'ai quand même gardé deux tubercules en pot dans la serre.
