I’ve kept my two Scilla maderensis in the basement bone dry and water very little when in growth. Reasoning is it originates on an arid volcanic island Arnold Sent from the all new AOL app for iOS On Sunday, June 25, 2023, 12:55 PM, Robert Lauf via pbs <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> wrote: Scilla maderensis is a winter grower, very sunny windowsill but preferably greenhouse. When it starts to die back for summer, keep it TOTALLY DRY until fall and then damn little water going forward. Mine go on the dry table of death at the west end of my carport where they get baked by some late afternoon sun and are shielded from any rain. Don't even start watering too early when growth appears or many of the lower flower buds will abort. This thing is as water wise as a cactus and can practically live on the humidity in the greenhouse.
