Cryptostephanus

Jim, an Italian friend of mine has C. vansonii growing in the garden in USDA zone 9. A few years ago she had snow in the garden but no problems with C. vansonii.
I grow them in pot and care for them as for Clivia. I overwinter them in a cool greenhouse, watering just one time in a month. They are from seeds from Malan, South Africa: 100% germination.

Harold, ,what about the cultural cares for C. haemanthoides? soil,
temperatures, dry, growing season, etc... Many thanks

Dear HArold, Thanks for this info, but more important do you ever
get viable seed from this item? And any available?

My C. vansonii both white and 'pink' are both thriving, but
I'd appreciate some cultural comments and advice here to make them
thrive more.

Thanks Jim W.
