My seed, (seedlings?) were another of the batches that crossed the Atlantic twice. On receipt the most advanced had a pale leaf 2" long, the others leaves about 1/4" long. I potted all mine in a single 6" pot, spaced out as I would 1 year seedling bulbs (e.g. narcissus?), or small alpine seedlings. My method of spacing delicate plants came from an alpine book many years ago, and may be of interest to other members. Fill the pot with compost to the level you want the bottom of the existing roots to be, firm slightly and prop the pot securely at an angle of about 45degrees. Layer compost about 1/2" deep up the now lower side of the pot, to the brim, and lay on say 3 evenly spaced seedlings at the required final planting depth. Add another layer of compost and then another layer of say 4 seedlings. Continue the layers of compost and seedlings until the pot is filled. Turn the pot back to the vertical and tamp gently on a firm surface. You have a pot of, hopefully evenly spaced, seedlings all at the required depth and with little or no damage to the roots. I planted mine with the top of the "bulb" about 1/4" below the surface of a 50% sand, 50% soil based commercial potting compost. I now have 14 green leaves showing. They will stay on the kitchen floor, immediately in front of the south facing French windows, for as long as my wife will put up with them, or next spring, when they will go to the frost free greenhouse for the summer. Current bulb(ous)s flowering, colchicum speciosum album and col. 'water lily', crocus pulchellus, kotschyanus, banaticus and speciosus (just), oxalis flava, lobata and depressa?, galanthus reginea-olgae/corcyrensis, habranthus candida, sternbergia clusiana?, several cyclamen, nerine sarniensis, and the odd lingering leucojum, habranthus, albuca and hedychium, and haemanthus albiflos in the greenhouse.
