Do anyone of you have experience in getting sikkimensis blooming? I have a corm in full-ground for about 2 years.
The first time I've tried to overwinter the stems, was quite unsuccesfull, I must say. They all turned into mush, but not this year! This year is quite opposite. None of the stems were lost, even the little pups survived. I've got 2 stems that are over the two meters now and quite thick at the base (+-25cm). I also got 3 other big ones, almost 2m and a little less at the stem.
The past summer I just let them all grow, but this summer I question myself if its not a lot of big stems on one corm? I would like them to grow with the vigor of last year, so I can get them blooming.
Thanks,
Gunther, Brussels
