Hi ,i potted the tuber of gloriosa months ago and nothing at all has
happened.I potted it into john innes horizontally,it snapped into 2
pieces
when i took it out of the pot to check its growth.
Any ideas?
Thanks Keith

Once potted leave it alone until you see a green shoot, water sparingly
until it really gets going, once it starts to die back stop watering
completely. under no circumstances give water when not in growth, they
spend
the bulk of the year below ground and dormant.

Hi Charlie.thanks for the advise. I read on the packet of one and it
says
it should be in full growth after 12 weeks.Mine has been potted since
febuary and has done nothing at all.
Thanks Keith

Mine also are late up this year with some pots only appearing in the last
week, watch for snails as they can mow off the emerging shoots so it looks
like nothings happening!
