Thank you to Arnold Trachtenberg, Rodger Whitlock, Carolyn in Los Gatos CA, Vijay, Val Myrick, Jim McKenney, Margaret Oberg and Michael Mace. (Hope I didn't leave anyone out.) who responded about saffron growing with great advice! I've graduated the potted crocus bulbs to a very bright area that gets more sun. I drenched the pot yesterday, and am planning on letting it dry out for a once a week schedule as Michael Mace suggested, aiming for " a nice evenly moist situation, with some air capable of entering the soil." I tend to overwater, so I'll check the base of the pot, and if it's dried out I'll wait a day and give it a splash. I'm also planning on fertilizing according to Rodger Whitlock's advice for fertilizer : -"low nitrogen soluble fertilizer", "applied at about one quarter of the recommended strength. A cupful of solution once a month should be adequate." Another question, do the saffron crocus leaves 'wilt' when dry? Or will that be too late to water? _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/…
