🌱 Practical planting and care guide

Planting and position: Plant dormant bulbs or corms in open, well-draining soil. Use planting depth and spacing printed on the packet; orient the growing point upwards when identifiable.

Watering: Water once after planting, then as necessary during active growth. Keep soil moist rather than waterlogged and reduce watering during dormancy.

Possible problems: Inspect for bulb rot, mould and pest damage. Improve drainage, remove rotting bulbs and avoid storing bulbs in damp conditions.

Flowering or harvest: Allow healthy leaves to finish feeding the bulb after flowering before cutting them back. Flowering period and dormancy depend on species and climate.

Use packet-specific instructions for the exact variety, growing region and season. Natural germination and flowering vary.
