Scadoxus pole-evansii

Dear Tomas,
I have grown this species for a few years and give it no
special treatment, It is wintered in the pot in a cool greenhouse
although a bit warmer this winter. When it shows signs of growing I
begin to water lightly at first then more.
Now the growing point is 6 -7 inches tall and expanding
daily. It has bloomed in this pot and has enormous foliage and tall
flower stem. It is in a large pot -maybe 10 gals capacity. With
regular fertilizing in growth.

I do nothing other than this for a few other Eucomis, but I
got a large size bulb to begin with and it may just be bulb size
that determines bloom.

No special care needed here. Best wishes. Jim W.
