Hi Vlad, I don’t mean to sound smarmy and smirking, but I don’t think this counts as growing them in pots. You planted what was obviously a blooming size bulb in a good size pot (20 x 20 x 25 cm = 8 x 8 10 in) and it went through 1 growth cycle. It has proven difficult for many to get Lycoris to grow longer term in such a small container. There is some success in 1/2 barrel size containers and in the right climate. I will be amazed if you get repeat bloom next summer. I have had only moderate success growing a couple species in 2 gallon nursery pots and do not recommend this practice in general. They do MUCH BETTER in the ground. Good luck and best Jim W. > On Sep 21, 2020, at 11:12 PM, Vlad Volosciuc via pbs <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> wrote: > > Hello Jim, > > Yes, in 20x20x25 cm pots. I have planted them in August 2019. They grew leaves over the winter, were outside all the time (lowest temperature was -4 C) and had no water at all from May to August this year. Three weeks ago I soaked them in rain water et voila, they bloom now. Honestly, I did not expect them to bloom this year, but they did. > > Cheers, > Vlad > > Sent from my iPhone XS > >> On 22.
