Diana,
The mix is 50% pumice,50% organic compost, The get a liquid feed
about every 3 weeks, and that's about it. I'm hoping this means
it's a vigorous cross. I should know by the weekend. I"m floored at
the prompt blooming.
Oh! I also do a foliar treatment of Fulvic Acid, BAP99% and Indole-3
Butyric Acid 1%,once a month during the growing season.

Bulbocodium 'Jessamy'. Several of the seedlings are budded after
only 2
years, and should open by the weekend.
What did you do to speed them up?
I used to keep rhododendron seedlings under 24 hour fluorescent lights
and had some in bloom in three or four years. (others haven't bloomed
yet in 40 years)
