I have a few flowering sized bulbs of Crinum delagoense from coastal
southern Mozambique, where they grow in pure sand, often growing and
blooming well after fires. Summer growers of course. I also have a few young
seedlings, grown from seed from the same source. Whereas the seedlings are
doing fine the mature bulbs are sulking and refusing to put up leaves. Any
suggestions how to encourage them into growth? I thought maybe bottom heat
on a warm bench (air temperatures rarely rise above 25 degrees C here -
sorry if you're sweating through a mid west summer)? Or should I give up for
this season and let the pots get completely dry? If so, would some kind of
smoke treatment be worth trying? Knowing me I'd burn the greenhouse down
attempting this, so further tips would be appreciated.
