Hello everybody, Thank you for the various advices; I live in western center of France (Zone 8, very close to Zone 9) but the weather are wet all the year...i have put the bulbs in very light soil (pumice, pouzzolane, river sand, very little organic soil). I will be patient and let you know when the leafs come ;) I have another question; i collect species haemanthus and scadoxus and I recently obtained a young scadoxus nutants and a big scadoxus cinnabarinus. The last one, after 2 months, finally made a small leaf. I would like some tips on growing these two uncommon species.
