Shipping Plants "In The Green" Causing Dormancy?
bulborum botanicum (Mon, 02 Aug 2010 22:49:11 PDT)

The bulbs most of the time go earlier dormant as normal
and even sleeps sometimes more as a year
don't worry and don't over water them
most just re-potted bulbs who die,
die from overwatering

Hi Guys :)

I've received a few plants this summer shipped in the green, will this
cause
a plant to go dormant? A few of them arrived with just yellow tips and
slowly
the rest of the bulb seems to be going dormant, has anyone else noticed
this
happening? I guess if they're bare root and dark that would throw them
into
dormancy! I'm fairly new to bulbs other than the usual and I'm worried
that
they wont come back :( The ones I have that are yellowing are Brunsvigia
Grandiflora, Clinanthus Variegatus and Rauhia Decora! Obviously I've
re-potted
them all in very well draining mixes with Crushed Granite, Fir Bark,
Charcoal,
Pumice and Promix, it drains very well and I'm using wicks in the bottoms
of the
pots to keep them from holding too much water in the bottoms.

Thanks Guys :)

Sorry if this question seems really dumb :( I'm learning!
