Hi Reka,How long do the new bulbs take to reach blooming size?As for the
leaf loss,I think it must be natural for them to do this as all my new bulbs
have leafs.


As Reka said, it is indeed normal for the oldest growths to lose
leaves. New bulbs reach maturity within a year of when they
first started growing. If you're growing your plant in your
home, it's unlikely that ALL of the new growths will flower,
as it's tough to give them enough light for this. Plants
grown in a greenhouse under strong light (enough to make the
leaves a nice lime green) will bloom more profusely.
