Fertilizing

Hi,

Stuff (moss, green slime, liverworts) grow where there are nutrients so
watering fertilizer on the top of pots encourages this. I also feel that
often the bulbs are near the top of the pot and appreciate being kept
dry.

So if I have time I like standing pots in a tray of water (watering from
the bottom). The snag with this is to keep the water clean, or else one
transfers disease from one pot to the next.

Another option I've seen described for seedlings, and tried (but with no
results to report) are slow release granules, one can control the
quantities easily and precisely - although probably not the speed/timing
of release.
