New Member/Ferraria crispa

Rand,

I have mature Ferraria crispa blooming each winter in a 6 inch clay
pot. I've had other seedlings of F. crispa in a 6--in clay pot for years
with no sign of bloom or increase in size.

So, I suspect that a large, deep pot is a good idea in the long run. Your
main job right now is to get them through the winter and next summer. You
might try drying them off in late winter and starting them again in
mid-summer next year, to ease them over to a different cycle.
