Dear Ina, Does it look like part of your plant is leaf tissue and the rest roots. I keep seeds like that covered with a plastic bag to prevent drying and keep the plant in bright light. I keep the soil moist with a very diluted liquid plant food. Say 1/4 teaspoon of water soluble fertiliser in one gallon lukewarm water. Make sure the soil is not sopping wet, just moist. The roots will grow down into the potting mix on there own. But don't let them dry. If the roots grow, but lay on the surface of the potting mix you can put a very thin layer of moist mix over the roots. Just enough to cover them. If the leaves are getting enough light they should have a healthy green color.not yellowish. If it is too pale there is not enough light. Keep warm/not cold say mid 70's f. I hop this helps. if it doesn't send me a message and we will figure out what needs to be done-Russ H. In a message dated 3/31/2013 6:34:56 P.M.

Last winter it was suggested on the PBS it could be Nerine undulata. The bulb has now pushed a large part out of the soil. Should I plant it deeper or leave it?There is a little one and a bigger one coming up to the right of it. http://flickr.com/photos/49263888@N06/… Ina -- Ina Crossley Auckland New Zealand Zone 10 _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.ibiblio.org http://pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/
