Dear All, After a total loss of previously healthy and well growing seedlings of Wachendorfia thyrsiflora, I wonder what my mistake was. Seed was sown in autumn, germinated very well and the young plants grew on nicely after separating and potting on in threes or fours. I did not want to separate them entirely in order to avoid too much root disturbance. Then came summer and I kept watering them because they remained green at first and because they seem to be growing wet in their habitat. They were in a perforated tray together with other bulbs that need summer water and were watered collectively. Today, on checking this tray closely, I discovered the total loss, everything has rotted. Should I have given them a dry or dryish summer rest? Do the wet places in their habitat dry out in summer? Any other ideas? Thank you very much for your help Uli _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net>
