Help with Nomocharis
« on: February 18, 2010, 01:07:04 PM »
I just received 6 pieces. Nomocharis forrestii bulbs by mail as I ordered earlier this year.
Now I see when I open the package that some of them have begun to sprout.
So what do I do?

Plant them as soon as possible either into the garden, if the weather is suitable, or into a large pot.

If planting into a pot I would plant them into pure leafmould as they seem to thrive on that especially when the are being planted 'out of season'.

thank you for the quick help.
I plant them in a pot and bring them out in a protected space in the garden.

I would plant them with the sprouted parted quite covered and under the surface as the sprouts will be quite soft and maybe tender at this stage. They will have time to toughen up before coming through the surface, maybe in April or thereabouts.
