I have sprouted Placea arzae. I sowed them in late fall on top of a sandy soil mix in a container 3" across and 6" deep (20 ounce foam drinking cup.) I then covered with 1/2 inch of sand. I did not punch drain holes at this time. I set the cup outside for my fall-winter-spring, which features occasional overnight frosts but cool and dry conditions otherwise. I filled the cups with water to the brim and kept like that until the seedlings emerged. Then I punched drain holes. I kept them moist all winter. They grew well the first year. I put the intacta container in a box in a closet in the house for the first summer. They did not return the following fall. Using the same method I have plants of Rhodophiala advena and Ozirhoe biflora, which have returned strongly. On this topic... I dropped my pot of Rhodophiala advena while putting pots away for the summer. I have eight bulbs with large fleshy white roots. How should I summer them now that I have unpotted them? Previously I have just put the pot in a box and put it in the closet until the fall. Thanks, Leo Martin Phoenix Arizona USA
