I posted some photos of geophytes I'm growing in pots here: http://www.badbear.com/dkramb/01-Polianthes/ tuberosa 'Suvarna'.JPG http://www.badbear.com/dkramb/02-Polianthes/ tuberosa 'Suvarna'.JPG http://www.badbear.com/dkramb/03-Rain/ lilies from Kroger (Habranthus).JPG http://www.badbear.com/dkramb/04-Hymenocallis/ 'Festalis'.JPG http://www.badbear.com/dkramb/05-Hymenocallis/ 'Festalis'.JPG http://www.badbear.com/dkramb/06-Polianthes/ tuberosa.JPG http://www.badbear.com/dkramb/07-Polianthes/ geminiflora.JPG I tried something new this year with my tender bulbs. After their winter rest in the basement, I planted some of in orchid pots filled with leca stones. Polianthes tuberosa 'Suvarna' seems to love it. They seem tremendously happy compared to last year when they were in regular potting mix... in a regular clay pot. Although, to be fair, the regular Polianthes tuberosa is still in a regular clay pot in regular potting mix, and it seems awfully happy this year too. Hymenocallis x 'Festalis' also seems quite happy in the orchid pot with leca stones... although one bulb took forever to awaken from dormancy. I included some photos where you can see the roots. I keep them all well watered, and add fertilizer to the water at least once a week. The rain lilies are in regular potting mix, but they love being in the orchid pot with the little reservoir of water at the bottom. Polianthes geminiflora is a little perplexing to me. I thought I would struggle to keep it happy through the winter, indoors under lights, but in actuality keeping it happy outside has been far more difficult. Most of them died back, and are just now resprouting. I don't know what they want... maybe more water, more shade, or less heat? Dennis in Cincinnati
