Hi everyone
I just wanted to share another success story. At the end of May, I received a few corms from PR Giants. He was very helpful and explained to me the process of rooting bare corms. Basically don't overwater, give them plenty of warmth, occasionally check for root growth, and no sunlight is needed initially.
I know that many people on this website use all kinds of special soils and love rooting plants in sand but I decided to see how they would fare in generic topsoil which I had in abundance from a previous yard project.
Here we are, a month and a half later and all the plants have nice fresh growth. Perhaps I didn't break any speed records but I really don't want these plants getting too big until next year since they will have to come indoors over winter.
Hope everyone has a productive summer!
