And here’s another option that I haven’t tried yet (because I’m just not that organized to keep track of): A Chilean grower of many of the native Chilean bulb species I know who lived in Santiago doesn’t allow the more desert species to get any water, even from rain for two years at a time. (I.e., he only lets their pots get watered every other winter.) He said once he started doing that, they flowered regularly each time he allowed them to grow, produced offsets much more readily, and grew more vigorously as well. Plus, he was able to get seeds from them every time they flowered. So good excuse to not even bother trying to re-pot them every year! 🙂 --Lee Poulsen Pasadena, California, USA - USDA Zone 10a Latitude 34°N, Altitude 1150 ft/350 m > On Aug 1, 2021, at 10:53 AM, Judy Glattstein via pbs <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> wrote: > > Last year I re-potted all of my rhodophiala, lachenalia, freesia, oxalis, and cyclamen in late summer.
