Hi everyone, Most of my South African bulb pots are now in dormancy so I have begun sorting them out for dry storage over our Summer. We’d had a dry spell which had been great for bulb ripening, but recently the weather has regressed to being wetter with some unseasonably cooler nights. I have found after unearthing some pots that some of the Hesperantha vaginata in particular appear to be starting up again with swelling corms and new root development. Also my Daubenya seedling pots are showing some new shoots, plus what looks like fresh rootlets on the bulbs in another pot. The Daubenya germinated in June and grew strongly until September when the leaves withered away. Likewise, the Hesperantha vaginata plants, some of which flowered for the first time in August, had died down by the end of September. I’m wondering if I have been caught out with not keeping these pots dry enough earlier on to ensure dormancy? And, what is the best way forward with the Daubenya in particular?
