Scadoxus winter storage

Susan and all,

I agree with John. I store my Scadoxus in their pots, but relatively
dry. They are in the greenhouse, under a bench in winter. Unpotting would
definitely set them back seriously. It gets down almost to freezing on
some cold nights in winter (with the heaters running), and this does not
seem to hurt the puniceus. My other species don't flower well, and I think
I will need to find a warm place for them in winter.

Note that S. puniceus will start to flower in January and most of mine
flower, in the greenhouse, in February.

Regards,
