Title: growth cycle of African species
Post by: Véronique Macrelle on January 24, 2018, 09:54:46 AM

I got the srgc seed list
  Morea villosa bulbs and Sparaxis roxburghii seeds.
  what  is their cycle of growth, growth in summer or winter?
do they need a dry season?
 do I plant Morea villosa bulbs in a fresh soil right away?

 Thank you for your help

Veronique:

M. villosa is a winter grower for me here in USA.  I dry them off in the spring.

If you just received the M. villosa bulbs I'd plant now and give a drink and wait for growth.
