Hi All, I will be getting a Hymenocallis maximillini bulb in a few days. I have looked through the archives and searched the web to learn what this plant likes. Here is what I have concluded. Needs rich well drained soil. Keep soil moist. It needs a dry dormant period in the winter. The soil mix I will be using is compost (fir bark) sand, pumice,perlite and pea gravel. Does this soil mix sound good. Also, I wanted to put this in a 1 gallon black plastic pot. Does this bulb like to be crowded? Is 1 inch deep OK for this? I live in San Jose California. I know this variety comes from Mexico and gets more humidity there than we get here on the west coast. Any suggestions to my growing notes would be appreciated. thanks again Norman Rose San Jose California Zone 9
